Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://gsaarchives.net/2016/02/another-glasgow-girl:
Identified under Glasgow School of Art’s student records, a May Wilson is noted as having attended between 1892-1893, aged fourteen. Little information is detailed of ‘Glasgow Girl’ May Wilson, just that she lived at Huntly Gardens in the West End and that her father was a factor, suggesting she came from a fairly well-off background. The period 1892-1893, however, may be too early for it to be the May Wilson who painted the ceramics, and without a date of birth it is difficult to altogether confirm whether she was the same ‘Glasgow Girl’ – May Wilson. Hopefully at some point, a piece of information will reveal itself that will allow us to confirm this fact.
