Even then, it is not as if it failing to be taught in a formal educational setting somehow means it would be a dead art. There are many ways to learn certain archaic methods.

Beacon is 1/4 of the academies in the entire world of Remnant... how many students do you think could learn this if only 4 elective classes in the entire fucking world teach you how to do it? To clarify how few people this is... this would be like an elite sniper rare... these people would be on a very short list in an already rare profession... not so difficult to lock down based on the description given by Ruby.

You also need to understand the likelihood is that creating the clothes with dust and actually using it are two different skills, the former likely being difficult to industrialize, which means a traceable "signature" art style if the skills required are so hard to find... which at no point was anyone who has seen her(including Glynda) sharing or even requested to supply that information.
