  • wcu_craft_revival-4313.jpg
  • This photograph, taken by Doris Ulmann in 1933 or 1934, depicts Marguerite Butler seated in front of a hand-woven coverlet. Butler co-founded the John C. Campbell Folk School with Olive Dame Campbell in 1925. She served as the assistant director and treasurer of the school. Butler later became Marguerite Bidstrup, marrying the school's Danish farm manager, Georg Bidstrup in 1936. The Bidstrups brought all forms of folk dancing to the school.
