Scope and content
Mrs. Pearl Britton Lees is shown at her loom in this photograph from November 1938. Because of a high degree of interest in traditional crafts in the Tacoma area, Mrs. Lees started the Wayside Arts and Crafts School. The classes for the school were taught at her home at 3520 So. 10th St. In her weaving, she used yarn made from wool produced by sheep raised in Pierce County. Her wool dyes came from locally grown plants and trees. (T. Times, 11/11/1938, p. 4)..
