She began leathercraft at night school in 1964, was one of the Woodstock group that joined the London Branch, and was among the hardest-working members when the Woodstock Branch was formed, named in its first entry in the Weston Trophy branch competition in 1969. She entered competitions from 1965, winning the Chatelaine award for Best in Show at the C.N.E. three times, among them 1978, for a checker board, and 1979, for a box designed from a rock, and the O.C.C. award for original design on a handbag. On the Executive Council she served as Publicity Chairman and Recording Secretary and on the Exhibition Committee, and in 1983 she was the Society’s Archivist. The 1983 “Who's Who” says she taught night-school leathercraft for fourteen years at Fanshawe College in Aylmer, and the Spring 2014 newsletter that she taught the leather programme at Continuing Education for some fifteen years, feeding many new members into the Society; her own account of her teaching is with her life and work below. She helped with volunteer leathercraft in Woodstock’s public and high schools and ran workshops for the Society, among them one on designing from music rhythms as the source of the design lines; she demonstrated at the CSCL booth at the Canadian National Exhibition, and appeared on Western Cable TV in January 1974, demonstrating a moulded tray and maple leaf pins across two half-hour programmes, interviewed by Woodstock alderman Wendy Calder. The 1983 “Who's Who” adds that she was the charter president of the Oxford Quilters Guild in Ingersoll, taught quilting at the Canadian Embroiderers Guild in London, and taught Japanese embroidery, crochet, crewel embroidery and other crafts for the Oxford Board of Education and the Creative Arts Centre in Ingersoll. She took part in the World Craft Conference in Toronto in 1974 and at Oaxtepec, Mexico, in 1976, and, on a Wintario grant, in the Pacific Friendship Fibre Arts Conference in Hawaii, where her design was chosen as the “memory” pattern given to every delegate. She wrote for the newsletter repeatedly over the 1980s (“Handcrafted — What Is It?” (1980), a report on the leather booth at the International Plowing Match, Oxford County (1980), “Hazards in Leatherwork”, “Design Source Books” and “Leather Covered Bottles” (all 1982), “Purse Strap Hangers” and “Philosophies Collected Through the Years” (1984)) and judged repeatedly outside the Society's own competitions, including the Woodstock Museum's IMAGE '84 show and a Lillian Kay poll. She wrote several of the Society's own obituary tributes in the 2000s (Nora Huyck, Gladys Riddell, Dorothy Muma among them) and judged the Society's biennial exhibitions into the 2010s; the Spring 2014 newsletter gives her full name, Carol Ann McLean, and her Society role at the time, Member-at-Large. Her own undated memoir for the archive, written to Lauchlan Harrison, tells the mask story: Loreen Manuel was teaching the Woodstock leather class at Continuing Education and asked Carol to take it over; to qualify, Carol demonstrated mask-making to Teaching Standards chair Robert Muma, a world-renowned master bookbinder who had never before seen a leather mask and was intrigued by it. She recalls being cautioned not to expect a strong result before passing her Fellow standing on the first attempt, and she went on judging until travel became too difficult. She showed two 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; five 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; five at Leather '78, the Society's exhibition at the Etobicoke Civic Centre, 550 Burnhamthorpe Road, November 1978; and two at Leather '82, at the City of Brampton Library and Art Gallery, Bramalea, 3 July to 1 August 1982. One piece of hers, a box in tan morocco in a 3-D design technique, was chosen for the Society's 1985 Travelling Exhibition from about sixty entries by the judges Robert Muma, Paul Williams and Alison Parsons.", "sources": [ { "text": "From Spring 1983, page 6; Spring 2014; Fall 1978, page 4; October 1979, page 8; Leather ’74: exhibition catalogue, Toronto Public Libraries, page 6; Exhibition catalogue 1976: Craft Gallery of the Ontario Crafts Council, Toronto, page 6; Leather ’78: exhibition catalogue, Etobicoke Civic Centre, page 6; Leather ’82: exhibition catalogue, Brampton Public Library and Art Gallery, page 5; Members-at-Large: Final Newsletter Report, page 2; Fall 1985, page 4; and Fall 2026, page 2.", "links": [ { "title": "Spring 1983", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/newsletter/1983-spring/#p6" }, { "title": "Spring 2014", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/newsletter/2014-spring/" }, { "title": "Fall 1978", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/newsletter/1978-fall/#p4" }, { "title": "October 1979", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/newsletter/1979-october/#p8" }, { "title": "Leather ’74: exhibition catalogue, Toronto Public Libraries", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/documents/document-archive/invitations-programs/leather-74-exhibition-catalogue-toronto-public-libraries-1974/" }, { "title": "Exhibition catalogue 1976: Craft Gallery of the Ontario Crafts Council, Toronto", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/documents/document-archive/invitations-programs/exhibition-catalogue-1976-craft-gallery-of-the-ontario-crafts-council/" }, { "title": "Leather ’78: exhibition catalogue, Etobicoke Civic Centre", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/documents/document-archive/invitations-programs/leather-78-exhibition-catalogue-etobicoke-civic-centre-1978/" }, { "title": "Leather ’82: exhibition catalogue, Brampton Public Library and Art Gallery", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/documents/document-archive/invitations-programs/leather-82-exhibition-catalogue-brampton-public-library-and-art-1982/" }, { "title": "Members-at-Large: Final Newsletter Report", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/documents/document-archive/reports-fellows-reports/2026-mal-final-report/#p2" }, { "title": "Fall 1985", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/newsletter/1985-fall/#p4" }, { "title": "Fall 2026", "url": "https://canadianleathercraft.org/newsletter/2026-fall/#p2" } ] } ] } ], "served_as": [ { "name": "Woodstock Branch Publicity", "years": "1968" }, { "name": "Woodstock Branch Treasurer", "years": "1968–1977" }, { "name": "Executive Council", "years": "1970–1975" }, { "name": "Woodstock Branch President", "years": "1971–1973" }, { "name": "Recording Secretary", "years": "1972–1974" }, { "name": "Woodstock Branch Past President", "years": "1974" }, { "name": "Council", "years": "1976–1979" }, { "name": "World Crafts Council Delegate", "years": "1976" }, { "name": "Annual Meeting Chairman", "years": "1977" }, { "name": "Council of Fellows Secretary", "years": "1977" }, { "name": "Woodstock Branch Librarian", "years": "1979" }, { "name": "Woodstock Branch Program Chairman", "years": "1979" }, { "name": "Archivist", "years": "1980–1988" }, { "name": "Woodstock Branch Secretary", "years": "1988" }, { "name": "Exhibition Committee", "years": "by 1983" }, { "name": "Publicity Chairman", "years": "by 1972" } ], "honours": [ { "name": "Caring Canadian Award", "years": "2014", "detail": "Presented by the Honourable David C.

She competed, retailed and exhibited leather over several decades, and founded and curated the TRC Gallery in London, which staged monthly exhibitions of fine hand art by Canadian craftsmen including CSCL members, two of them devoted to leather alone. She conducted two workshops, was the Society's LEATHER 2010 liaison with the Ontario Crafts Council, and was Editor and contributing writer of Canadian Leathercraft. A jewellery maker herself, she co-founded the Society's London Jewellery Award. She wrote leather biographies for fifty-three CSCL artists in support of their Ontario Volunteer Service Award proposals, and secured three further distinguished awards for CSCL artists: the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award, the John Mather Award of the Ontario Crafts Council, and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. In September 2000, at the executive meeting in Cooksville, she and her husband David were asked to produce a newsletter for Members-At-Large; that is the origin of the MAL-designated summer issue of Canadian Leathercraft, which ran for decades.

Boy Scouts first put leatherwork in his hands, and his college training in dental technology (fine tools for fine dental appliances) carried over into fine carving and tooling, and later into casting the silver conchos he made for his own saddle. He moved his wife and three children to Calgary to open his own business, then chose to live out of town on a ranch in the foothills, with goats and horses. At the Fellowship judging in Hamilton before the 2019 Annual he was asked for four pieces and brought a suitcase of more than ten (a fully rigged and decorated Western saddle, a set of longhorns with decorated mounts, a vest, chaps, spurs and straps, belts, purses and clutch wallets, and a stool seat) and let the Fellows choose among them; he scored 94.5%, his pieces mostly in Western floral carving and stamping. His work spans braiding, whipmaking, box construction, lacing, engraving, toolmaking, lost-wax casting and bone and antler carving. Earlier, he entered a wallet for the Hamilton branch in the 2012 Weston Trophy competition, where the judges found the adaptation of a manufactured interior interesting, some irregularity in the lacing, and carving that “shows fine detailed work”; Mississauga took the trophy that year, averaging 80.4 per cent to Hamilton's 72.8.

The Society’s own profile of her says she held that office when the Society “marked its 10th anniversary at the Scottish Rite in Hamilton”; the Scottish Rite meeting was the 1966 Annual, held in the Guild’s own tenth-anniversary year, while the Society’s tenth anniversary, in 1960, was kept at WoodGreen Centre, Toronto. She taught at Burlington Arena from 1954 for several years and gave classes and private glove-making lessons at home, demonstrated at Hamilton Guild meetings and workshops and at the Society's Annuals, and was a faithful hand at the Guild's C.N.E. booth.

She won a Salon ribbon for a jewellery box at the International as early as 1968, her work helped the Hamilton Branch win the Weston Trophy several times, and she had work accepted into most of the biennial exhibitions. In the Hamilton Branch she held office from the time she joined (President, Secretary, Exhibition and Programme Convenor), and she served about five years on the Society’s Executive Council; in her three years as Publicity Chairperson she had the Society mentioned twice in “Make It With Leather”. From 1970 to the end of 1978 she taught leatherwork at summer school for the Hamilton Board of Education; she also taught senior citizens’ groups, one of them at Caledonia, evening classes for adults at Delta Secondary School, and private pupils at home. She studied design for twenty weeks at Mohawk College, with a day course and many weekend workshops there, and took a week-long leather course at the Haliburton School of Fine Arts. She showed one piece at Leather '74, the Society's exhibition at the Toronto Public Libraries' Learning Resources Centre, 666 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto, 3-28 June 1974, and one piece at Leather '78, the Society's exhibition at the Etobicoke Civic Centre, 550 Burnhamthorpe Road, November 1978. Her crochet also won prizes at the C.N.E.; she taught crochet and knitting in evening classes at Orchard Park, Stoney Creek, and adult day classes at George R. Allan School in Hamilton for over five years, and was a member of the Artisans Guild and the Hamilton Regional Arts Council. In 1981 she was a grandmother, with four sons and four grandchildren. She showed one piece at Leather '82, the Society's exhibition at the City of Brampton Library and Art Gallery, Bramalea, 3 July to 1 August 1982. One piece of hers was chosen for the Society’s 1985 Travelling Exhibition, from about sixty entries, by the judges Robert Muma, Paul Williams and Alison Parsons: a pocket secretary in tan mission grain calfskin. She made a square for the CSCL Leather Quilt. She was the author of the filigree article in the Summer 1992 newsletter. She showed five pieces in the Society's exhibition at the Etobicoke Art Gallery, 4-29 September 1992. She showed one piece at Leather 2000: Fifty Years of Leather Art, the Society’s exhibition in the Grand Hall Gallery of the Woodstock Museum, 466 Dundas St., 20 May to 17 June 2000 (Belt - Brown with Inlay Buckle).

On his cereal-chemistry career the Star's own account is internally hard to square: it has him becoming director of the National Research Council's Saskatoon laboratories and, \"in the same year\" (1945), the first director of Maple Leaf Mills' Toronto research laboratory, before leaving the NRC in 1947 to concentrate on Maple Leaf Mills work until retiring in 1963.
