Dublin: Cuala Press, 1973, p. 22</ref> In 1902, Elizabeth Yeats and her sister [[Lily Yeats|Lily]] joined their friend [[Evelyn Gleeson]] in the establishment of a craft studio near Dublin which they named Dun Emer. Dun Emer became a focus of the burgeoning Irish Arts and Crafts Movement, specialising in printing, [[embroidery]], and [[Carpet|rug]] and [[tapestry]]-making. Elizabeth ran the printing operation, and Lily managed the needlework department.<ref>Sheehy 1980, p. 158</ref>

In 1904, the operation was reorganised into two parts, the [[Dun Emer Guild]] run by Gleeson and Dun Emer Industries under the direction of the Yeats sisters, and in 1908 the groups separated completely. Gleeson retained the Dun Emer name, and the Yeats sisters established Cuala Industries at nearby Churchtown, which ran the Cuala Press and an embroidery workshop.<ref>Sheehy 1980, p. 161</ref><ref>History of the Cuala Press</ref> The sisters' cousin [[Ruth Pollexfen]] served as an apprentice to Lily and gave embroidery lessons at the workshop.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE4870b.htm|title=Poole, Ruth Lane (1885 - 1974)|work=The Australian Women's Register|first=Maggie|last=Shapley|year=2013}}</ref> [[Cualu|Cuala (or Cualu)]] was the name of the [[Gaelic Ireland|Gaelic]] territory covering south Dublin before the [[Norman conquest of Ireland]].
