Reviews

"Alfoldy impressively outlines the shift in Canadian craft ideology towards a professionalism that looked toward modernism and included a demonstrable awareness of the larger conceptual concerns shared by the fine arts community. She discusses the significant developments in craft education and sensitively considers the inclusions and exclusions of Native art. Crafting Identity will be of interest to anyone who creates, teaches, studies, writes about, exhibits, and collects Canadian craft and contemporary Canadian art." Ellen Easton McLeod, author of "In Good Hands: The Women of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild" "A richly documented survey of the key events and players that led to the development of Canadian professional craft in recent years." Gerald Pocius, Centre for Material Culture Studies, Memorial University of Newfoundland "This book covers a huge area of unused material and contains the first bibliography for organizations, events, and personalities. This will form a basic text for scholars and students in a neglected but growing scholarly field." Sandra Flood, artist
