History
Nellie Jeffers Welsh was born on 9th April 1892. She was a day student at The Glasgow School of Art from 1910 to 1916, studying Drawing and Painting under Professor William E. F. Britten, and instructors Alexander L. Jackson and James Huck. During most of this period she was living at Craigengar, Beith (Ayrshire), and in 1914 was the recipient of a Carnegie Bursary. For the session 1915/16 she was alternating residence between Dennistoun (Glasgow) and Jesmond (Newcastle upon Tyne), and was awarded a travelling bursary of £7.10s.-. She was also appointed class monitress for sessions 1914/15 and 1915/16, services which granted her an honorarium.
During session 1914/15 Welsh was awarded a Diploma in Drawing and Painting by The Glasgow School of Art (Dip. G.S.A.), and also received a School Certificate for Needlecraft. Her Needlecraft Certificate mark was "Very Good", so she was advised to take a Post Certificate Course in the subject.
Nellie J. Welsh returned to The Glasgow School of Art for the 1918/19 session as an evening student, continuing with the Drawing and Painting course. That year she listed her occupation as Art Teacher.
