History
Euphemia Lily Campbell was born on the 8th October 1893. She first enrolled at the School of Art as an evening student studying design - fashion plate drawing – in 1916. Her home address was recorded as 143 Firpark Street in Dennistoun and her occupation given as dressmaker. She may be the daughter of Robert (born c1844) and Margaret Campbell of 9 Drumother Mansions, Shettleton. Robert was a tinsmith, and at the time of the 1901 census, the father of five children. His son was also a tinsmith in 1901 and his two oldest daughters were employed as confectionary workers. Euphemia enrolled on the same course again in 1917-18, when she was described as an art student. The following year, 1918-19, was her last at the School and she studied Drawing and Painting. By this date she was working as an embroidery designer. For her first year at the School, her course was led by Norah Neilson Gray. The following year Fashion Plate Drawing was taught by Dorothy Carleton Smith, who went on to be selected as the first female principal of the School, but sadly died before she could take up the appointment. The Fashion Plate Drawing Diploma course at this time included the study of the human figure in nature and in art, the study of drapery and material, the making of drawings for the illustration of catalogues, advertisements etc and the designing of dresses as models for dressmakers and tailors.
