E. Astley

Possibly the same person: Nan Astley →
The Fall 1970 Canadian National Exhibition prize list, p12, credits “E. Astley” with a Lewiscraft credit note for undecorated leather. Nan Astley, an Associate of the Society from 1968 and a Fellow from 1969, is also recorded as Elizabeth Astley: the 1968 best leather entry prints “Mrs. Elizabeth Astley, Scarboro” and a Salon Award of those years “Mrs. Elizabeth Astley, Toronto”. E. Astley is very likely that same Elizabeth Astley, but the 1970 list gives no town and no given name.

Where this comes from
E. Astley is named in the records of the Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft, the society of leather crafters founded in Toronto in 1950 that taught, exhibited and judged its members’ work until it closed in 2025. Its newsletters, papers and photographs are kept in this archive.
