Articles submitted should demonstrate knowledge of materials and various techniques and versatility in the craft, e.g. tooling, carving, colouring, construction, stitching, lacing, moulding, etc.
NOTE: - One of the four pieces must be laced and one of the four pieces must be handstitched. Those two techniques can be on ANY of the pieces, they could even be on the same piece, but those two specific techniques are required elements of the Associate exam.
5. Articles submitted for Associate standing will be marked according to the Society's point system of judging. The minimum passing mark for each article is 75 marks. If one of the articles has failed to receive 75 marks, the candidate will receive credit for the three qualifying articles and a condition on the fourth. The candidate may submit another article the following year, and if it qualifies will receive his Associate standing and certificate at the next Annual Meeting when all four articles must be displayed. A candidate may fail on only one article to receive this condition.
