About This Book

"Sandra Flood overturns the current myth that nothing happened in the Canadian craft scene until the late 1960s. This account presents the Canadian context, and reviews the tone and focus of contemporaneous writing about craft before exploring the diversity of craftmakers, craft production, crafts organizations, craft education, and government involvement.

The history of museums and their lack of response to this major component of Canadian culture combined with the fate of various craft collections raise important, ongoing questions."--BOOK JACKET.
