Leather ’78 — exhibition catalogue, Etobicoke Civic Centre
The exhibit list runs in three columns — craftsman, articles, price — with one number to each article, so a craftsman named once carries every entry beneath the name; it is set out that way here. The sheet is faint in two places and neither has been guessed at: the given name against entry 39, Monteith, has faded to a single M, and a word after “Leather ’78” on entry 56 is too light to read. Entry 8 prints BOOK in capitals in the middle of its line, which is the typist’s.

The Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft was founded in 1950 to provide guidance in improving the quality of leathercraft in Canada and in creating original design. Membership averages 200 including members from coast to coast in Canada and several members from U. S. A.
The Society encourages the formation of local branch guilds anywhere in Canada. At present Branches exist in Barrie, Belleville, Hamilton, Toronto, Windsor and Woodstock. The branch competition for the Weston Trophy is a major event at the Annual Meeting. A graded system of membership gives the general members an opportunity to become Associates and later Fellows. The Council of Fellows judge the work for sales, exhibitions and competitions. Members receive a quarterly bulletin called Canadian Leathercraft.
C. S. C. L. is affiliated with the Ontario Craft Council. Since 1964 C. S. C. L. has participated in the Arts, Crafts and Hobbies Show at the C. N. E. with an exhibition, sales and demonstration.
The chief objectives of the society are:
-to improve the status of leathercraft by raising standards of design and craftsmanship.
-to help anyone interested in any phase of the craft.
-to raise standards of teaching and judging.
-to conduct sales and exhibitions.
-to co-operate with the other services in furthering the crafts.
-to supply teachers, demonstrators and adjudicators upon request.
New members in the Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft are always welcome. The membership chairman is: Mrs. Kay Cloughley, R. R. #1, Hawkestone, Ontario L0L 1T0.
