History
Alison M. Elder studied as a mature student at The Glasgow School of Art from 1911 until 1918. She was part of the 'Pollockshields Ladies Class', who attended classes at the School for one afternoon a week (either Tuesdays or Wednesdays). For the most part they studied needlework with Anne Macbeth (a notable Glasgow Girl and prominent suffragette, who was a staff member at the Art School from 1902 to 1929) and Margaret Swanson (a needlework assistant in 1911/12). However during their final year (1917/18), they studied metalwork under Peter Wylie Davidson.
