| Description | This photograph of dye pots was taken by Doris Ulmann in 1933 or 1934, during the time she spent in Brasstown, North Carolina. These dye pots were used by Louise Pitman, head of handicrafts at the John C. Campbell Folk School and an expert in vegetable dyeing. Dyeing wool with organic matter such as flowers and roots was common practice for dedicated textile artists during the Craft Revival. |
