History
Chambers, Elizabeth Thomson Born on 15 January 1894, studied at GSoA for seven years from 1910, gaining her Diploma in Drawing and Painting in 1917. Throughout her studies, her home address was Prospect House, Uddingston. No term time address is given so it seems likely that she commuted the seven miles to Glasgow by rail. The Caledonian Railway company operated a frequent service into Glasgow at this time and many villages and towns developed as dormitory towns with new housing and services for some of the more prosperous families who chose to move out of the city. Her first teacher was Alexander Musgrove. A probationer teacher in 1910 and recent GSoA student himself, he taught Preparatory Painting. The following year she studied with Allan Mainds, Assistant Professor in the Drawing and Painting section. She continued as a day student studying Drawing and Painting, though the register entry for 1914-15 suggests she also attended Life drawing classes in the afternoon between 4 and 6 pm in that year.
