Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By contrasting American experience with the Canadian context, which includes a unique Quebec identity and a Native dimension, Sandra Alfoldy argues that the development of organizations, advanced education for craftspeople, and exhibition and promotional opportunities have contributed to the distinct evolution of professional craft in Canada over the past forty years. Alfoldy focuses on 1964-74 and the debates over distinctions between professional, self-taught, and amateur craftspeople and between one-of-a-kind and traditional craft objects. She deals extensively with key people and events, including American philanthropist Aileen Osborn Webb and Canadian philanthropist Joan Chalmers, the foundation of the World Crafts Council (1964) and the Canadian Crafts Council (1974), the Canadian Fine Crafts exhibition at Expo 67, and the In Praise of Hands exhibition of 1974. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unexploited materials, this richly documented survey includes descriptions and illustrations of significant works and identifies the challenges that lie ahead for professional crafts in Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1905 two Montreal women, Alice Peck and May Phillips, founded the Canadian Handicrafts Guild. Inspired by British and American women in the arts and crafts movement, and spurred by their thirty-year rivalry with Mary Dignam of the Toronto-based Women's Art Association of Canada, these two created an organization that revived popular interest in traditional handwork done by women, Canadiens, Indigenous people, and new Canadians.
