Industrial Arts

Though not as much is known about the metal and needlework as is known of the Pottery, below are examples of the other "industrial arts" produced at Newcomb art school. Introduced in 1902 as a specialized craft, textile was taught by Gertrude Roberts Smith. The needlework designs are closely related to the pottery with clear, simple patterns based on the environment. Jewelry was introduced in 1908-09 with the hiring of a former student, Mary Williams Butler, as an Assistant Professor in Drawing and Design.
