Daphne Lingwood

← People of the Society · on record 1957–1978

Everything the Society’s own records say of Daphne Lingwood — the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won — gathered on one page. Where the records are silent, so is this one.

Her work won Canadian Handicrafts Guild Competition First Prizes through the late 1950s and 1960s, and a Salon Award and Craftsman Award in 1967. Three of her pieces were chosen for “Ontario Crafts – Leather Today”, the Society’s Centennial travelling exhibition: a wall plaque, a centennial necklace and a trillium brooch and earrings. The Canadian Guild of Crafts (Ontario) selected the articles; the exhibition opened at the Guild Shop on 2 October 1967 and was to travel across Canada during 1968. She won a Best Leather Entry in Show at the Canadian Guild of Crafts (Ontario) competition in 1969. She showed four pieces at Leather '74, the Society's exhibition at the Toronto Public Libraries' Learning Resources Centre, 666 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto, 3-28 June 1974; four pieces in the Society's exhibition at the Craft Gallery and Resource Centre of the Ontario Crafts Council, 346 Dundas Street West, Toronto, 2-28 March 1976; and three pieces at Leather '78, the Society's exhibition at the Etobicoke Civic Centre, 550 Burnhamthorpe Road, November 1978. Her work won further awards at Leather '74, '76 and '78.
