President’s Message

I would like to welcome everybody to the 68th C.S.C.L. Annual General Meeting being hosted by the Mississauga
Guild at the Acton Townhall.

I hope that everyone will have a great time as this used to a leather town in the past few years with the tanning process of leather.

I would like to welcome new members to the Guild and I hope that you meet some of the members that will be willing to help you your projects.

This past year there was a few workshops held in Mississauga at Paul Kitchener's location and also in Norland. I would like to thank Paul for the use of his facilities and for his generosity in suppling the amenities to the group.
If you are interested in any workshops there will be boards set up for different workshops that you can sign. If you are interested and if you have any suggestions for something different let the workshop committee know and they will try and set up a workshop for that project.

I would like to thank Executive for their support over the last two years and to continue the great work of the
C.S.C.L.

Yours sincerely
Jim Wilkes
President

In 2016-17 we welcomed 6 new CSCL members to our Society. For the 2016-17 year we had 33 General members and 1 students which included 4 Associates, 8 Fellows and 1 Sustaining members. Of the total 34 members we have 5 who have been presented with Life Memberships.

Library Report: by Paul Kitchener “The library is up and running and can be found on our website.
Ordering is simple and orders are filled quickly.
Kim is presently inputting a number of leather related books that recently surfaced.
She is also scanning a number of designs from those books and will be added to the Library.

Page 4

I have also donated a number of books on art and teaching art that will soon be listed.
The library, at present, is being used very little and we hope that it will be used more frequently next year.
We will try to high-lite some books each month on the website. So, keep checking.”

“Canadian Leathercraft” Newsletter: by Barbara Chynoweth, Editor
The “Canadian Leathercrafter”, the quarterly Newsletter of CSCL, features our Guild’s news and events, how-to projects, and even some tips and ideas from CSCL’s past. Most issues have articles either from one of our
Branches, or our Members-at-Large. As always, these contributions are welcomed.

The Spring 2016 issue covered the 66th Annual CSCL Convention hosted by the Norland Branch. We were pleased to have David Trotter as our guest presenter talking on colouring, finishes and texture. Madeleine Mitchell and
Dorothy McPherson were welcomed as Honourary Life Members.

In the Summer 2016 issue we highlighted the Workshop on sewing a Leather Bag in June, the history of the CSCL
Quilt was outlined. Our MAL contributed articles for this issue

The Fall 2016 issue we covered the Leather Waxed Mug Workshop and the Hinged Box Workshop. The first part of the CSCL Annual Awards was listed. Hamilton contributed this issue with information on Forgotten Tools of the
Harness Trade.

The Winter 2016-17 issue covered the second part of the CSCL Annual Awards. Mississauga contributed information on making an Embossed Eagle Head Flask. A book review was contributed by Lauren an MAL. Lauch
Harrison from Hamilton Branch submitted information on Tips for Use of CSO #84 Splitter/Skiver.

I am always looking for articles and ideas for the Newsletter.

Respectfully submitted, Barbara Chynoweth, Editor

Council of Fellows Report- Sean Dalgetty, FCSCL
The fellows met at the residence of Paul Kitchener, on Sunday April 23rd, 2017. We judged the Weston Trophy pieces, and it is noted that only one guild had the requisite number of pieces in order to be judged. The trophy is currently being engraved. We also received one fellow entry for judging. We only had two fellows and one associate present for judging, due to scheduling conflicts, but were able to proceed regardless.

Workshop Report - Lauch Harrison, ACSCL
The Committee was pleased to present the workshops in a couple of venues, the Norland School Hall Community
Centre and Focused-on-Foods. These workshop spaces have allowed our presentations at a minimal cost. Thanks to Paul Kitchener and the dedicated Norland Executive for their support and co-operation.

We were able to hold duplicate workshops at both locations, this duplication gave members the choice of attending the workshop in the vicinity or travelling. Some members went to both, this gave them more experience and hands on work.

Hinged Boxes and Blackjacks were held in Mississauga and in Norland. The two-part Branch Meeting project done by Paul Kitchener for the Eagle Embossed Flask was held in Norland.

Attendance was good at all the workshops and overall there was a profit returned to the CSCL.

The Hinged Box Workshops had 16 attendees and returned $170.15 profit to the CSCL. Lauch Harrison led both workshops and was well pleased that every participant finish their boxes. The Blackjack Workshop had 14

Page 5

attendees and returned a profit of $202.40 to the CSCL. Lauch Harrison led both workshops and though they were long and arduous but everyone finished their Mugs.

Please consider the workshops on the list and comment on the ones you would like to do next year.
Thanks for making the Workshops a success this past year.
Lauch Harrison ACSCL

Web Administrator Report: by Eugene Pik, ECO, FCSCL
In past, our website canadianleathercraft.org was hosted for free by Tundra Leather. Due to the web hosting support issues Tundra moved to another hosting provider, and we had to find a new hosting provider too. The best option was to move canadianleathercraft.org to Wordpress engine located on Google Cloud Platform.
Eugene migrated canadianleathercraft.org to the new hosting.

As part of the website redesign,

Created 7 new posts with the information about our workshops, newsletter and the Annual meeting.
Edited and uploaded all the images received from Kristi and Paul.
Added text to the "Library" page - it was written by Madeleine for Canadian Leathercraft newsletter.
Re-made the CSCL logo in higher resolution
Added social share buttons for images and posts. Added "find us on Facebook" button next to posts.
Combined "About us" and "Guilds" pages together to save space on the menu and to make the combined page more informational.
Removed multiple contact addresses from the website and created a 'contact us' form that sends an email to the address [email address removed] monitored by Eugene.

MailChimp email distribution system should be used to send mass emails about our workshops and newsletters.
We can grow the list of subscribers up to 2000 emails for free. There are MailChimp subscriptions forms located on our website and on the Facebook page. We already have 23 subscribers.

We will pay for the basic Wordpress hosting plan between $6-$10 per month. First year is free. Every year we also pay for the domain registration, about $35/year tax in, but the exact numbers may slightly fluctuate depending on the usage and on the USD/CAD rate. Eugene will provide bills to get the reimbursement.

I'd like to propose to:
- Add more website editors and FB page admins. They could create posts about their local activities. We need editors from Hamiltom, Norland and MAL
- Add all existing members into MailChimp list and send the Newsletter through MailChimp
- Post clear instructions on the website how to become a member. We may create a form to gather the necessary information and to accept an electronic payment.
Regards,
Eugene

2016-17 Branch Reports

Hamilton Branch - Respectfully submitted by Sean Dalgetty, FCSCL
In the last year, Hamilton branch has begun meeting on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at Colin and Tammy Paddon’s house in Grassie, Ontario. We have been covering a range of projects from leather boxes, trap shooting pouches, leather mugs, and some rawhide work, as well as individuals working on their own pieces/projects.

Mississauga Branch – Respectfully submitted by Jim Wilkes
September -- tour of Paul's workshop and Karen Weber making a bracelet.
October --- finishing off the making of a bracelet and lacing it.
November -- Bob Pfister showing how to make Christmas tags for gifts and etc.
December -- Pot luck Christmas dinner at Paul's location.
January -- Kim Winchester in making a leather pot holder without any stitching.
February – Karen Weber in making a 3 zipper coin purse.
March -- Eugene Pik teaching how to round/ Mexican braid on a belt strip.
April --- Review of articles for the Weston Trophy and make suggestions for articles to be judged at the Annual.
May --- Plan on doing a carving and stamping for bracelet or coasters.
June --- Plan on showing finishing techniques for the bracelet and coasters.

Norland Branch - Respectfully submitted by Tracey Howard
On Labour Day weekend members of the club demonstrated doing leather crafts and explaining about some of the leather items on display at a booth in the Pioneer Building at the Kinmount Fair.

Some of the Norland members had indicated that they would like to learn how to do embossing so after some investigating and questions about where we could get information Paul Kitchener offered to come to our meeting in September and teach us how to do the embossed eagles head that was on the Winter edition of the
Newsletter, the effort proved to take longer than one meeting so Paul returned in October to finish up.

In November we had a CSCL Workshop to make a hinged box with instructor Lauch Harrison and nobody left till they were completed.

In January the members were shown a leather object from the Tandy catalogue and were instructed to create their own pattern and then create the object from the pattern that they made. Members were learning how to figure out patterns and assembly of their item. This project carried over to the February meeting.

In March we had some fun creating different coloured leather fish which we are using to decorate our table.

On April 8th we had another CSCL Workshop making leather mugs lead by Lauch Harrison. The 29th of April we got together to finalize things for the convention and finish up any items.

For May we still have to determine what we are going to do and in June we have a BBQ at one of the member’s homes.

MAL Report - Respectfully submitted Lauren McPherson, MAL Representative
Continuing the MAL tradition to contribute to the Summer Issue of CANADIAN LEATHERCRAFT, our 2016-17 CSCL
Library Review of 8 books exceeded last year’s coverage.

Page 7

The Thorndale Fall Fair, Community Centre was the site for a third consecutive year of leather demonstration. On
Saturday, September 24, 2016 Lauren (MAL 2006) demonstrated Single, Double, Triple and Quadruple Cordovan
Lacing, with respective instructional displays and finished examples. Other crafters demonstrated pottery, weaving, sewing, coin collectibles, woodworking, alpaca farming and tatting.

I know of one enthusiastic MAL who had mailed his leather item to meet the judging deadline. Good luck to all
MAL participants whose work comprises this 67th Annual Convention MAL Display Table.

Remember, whenever you win a ribbon or an award be sure to jot down the particulars: Date, Location, Item,
Title, Description, Type of Ribbon or Name of Award. Now is a great time to update bio’s for advance preparation of future resumé requirements.

MALs are happy when they are able to attend CSCL workshops throughout the year. Some MALs are among
CSCL’s official judges and serve as members of the Executive Council. When distance prohibits attendance, as
MAL Representative I often revisit any yearly Annual Report, especially to read a welcoming address (‘President
Message’) made at an Annual Meeting.

I heard a quote recently that is well worth repeating. “Diversity: the art of thinking independently together” describes my diverse CSCL year. I received website updates from our newly appointed Electronic Communications
Officer (ECO), joined our first-time Executive Meeting held via Skype, and co-ordinated the borrowing of ten more
CSCL Library books with help of several CSCL members.

Have a great summer!
Respectfully submitted, Lauren Malec, MAL Representative

2017-18 Reports from the CSCL Committees

1st Vice: Lauch Harrison
Nothing to report for this year as 1st Vice.

Membership: by Sheena Burger
In 2017-18 we welcomed 22 new CSCL members to our Society. For the 2017-18 year we had 46 General members, 1 student, 2 Associates, 8 Fellows and we have 7 Sustaining members. Of the total 64 members we have 5 who have been presented with Life Memberships.

Please remember to notify the Membership Chairman of any changes in your contact information.

Library Report: by Paul Kitchener
The Library is in great shape and ready to be used. There was very little activity this year with only 5 requests.
Please check out our listing on our website.

The Spring 2017 issue covered the 67th Annual CSCL Convention hosted by the Hamilton Branch. The Hamilton
Branch had a series of workshops on Saturday and Sunday morning. Saturday afternoon and evening we welcomed Mark and Sandra Perkins who shared their experience and leatherwork that comes with Falconry and the brought some of their birds to visit.

In the Summer 2017 issue we highlighted some patterns from former issues of the Canadian Leathercrafter and had the MAL do a CSCL Library Review on some of the books we have in the Library.

The Fall 2017 issue we welcomed some new Sustaining Members. The MAL supplied another CSCL Library Review on one of the books we have in the Library. We had a number of drawings from the Canadian Leathercraft archives from 1957 by Robert Muma.

The Winter 2017-18 issue is full of ideas for using up your scrap pieces of leather.

I am always looking for articles and ideas for the Newsletter.

Respectfully submitted, Barbara Chynoweth, Editor

Council of Fellows Report- Sean Dalgetty, FCSCL
The Council of Fellows met at Paul Kitchener’s house on April 8th to judge the Fellow and associate entries, as well as the Weston Trophy. We also discussed options for new and different ways of scoring
Associate entries. Apologies for not attending the executive meetings, but I’m teaching almost every
Friday night at Tundra.

Workshop Report - Lauch Harrison, ACSCL
The Committee presented workshops in two venues, the Norland School Hall Community Centre and Focused-on-Foods. Using these workshop spaces allowed our presentations to be done at minimal cost. Thanks to Paul
Kitchener and the dedicated Norland Executive for their support and co-operation.

We held two workshops at both locations, this gave members the choice of attending the workshop in the vicinity or traveling. Our Workshops drew 36 participants, 25 members and 11 non-members.

The Mask and Purse workshops were held in Mississauga, at Focused on Foods, the turnout was good and the projects were well received. Lauch Harrison led the Mask workshop and got everyone through to the final painting and finishing touches. Karen Gunna did an excellent job of sourcing zips, leather, findings & patterns for two different Purses.

The Toiletries Bag and Moulded Tray workshops were held in Norland at the Norland School Hall Community
Centre, we had lot of interest in the Toiletries Bag, the bag was sewn on a walking foot power machine brought to the workshop by Lauch Harrison. The Molded Tray workshop was rushed and had fewer participants, the sole leather was replaced with some heavy veg tanned leather and the trays molded quite well. Everyone finished their projects, and the pot luck lunches were great.

The Workshops generated $660 in revenue for the CSCL. The income is good but getting our members together at workshops is the best way to encourage members to try new techniques and gain new skills.

Please consider some projects and send your ideas to the committee, we will then put some programming together and make a workshop.

Thanks for making the Workshops a success this past year

MAL Report - Respectfully submitted Lauren McPherson, MAL Representative

For a third consecutive summer our CSCL Library Review was featured in CANADIAN LEATHERCRAFT.

Good luck to all MAL participants whose work comprises this 68th Annual Convention MAL Display Table.

In July, the Ilderton Fair Grounds was the site of a leathercraft booth at the Canada 150 celebrations hosted by the Tri-Country Heritage Club, Heritage & Antique Show. There, Lauren (MAL 2006) presented a cross-section of leatherwork. Boxes, jewellery, bookmarks, leather maché and other leatherwork borrowed from London MALs topped off a windy demonstration day and earned sales. In August, a London MAL’s white edge-laced booklet was part of the Creative Arts Canada 150 competition at Western Fair, London.

In April 2018, we caught up with several MAL Life Members and learned that there is never a dull moment.

An old plaster ceiling fell on one crafter’s leather workbench.

Happily, another successfully sold all their leather crafting supplies.

Yet another Life Member acquired a new visual arts hobby.

Promoting leather continued to be an active interest of another MAL retiree.

The records of one Fellow indicated a booming career count of 600 handcrafted leather boxes retailed nationally and internationally.

Page 14

MALs are happy when they are able to attend CSCL workshops throughout the year. Some MALs are among
CSCL’s official judges and serve as members of the Executive Council.

Best wishes for a notable year!
