The first two artworks made as a result of the templates diary. They are on ruled sheets of paper taken from a vintage Cameron's Register of Class Marks, R.H. The book had never been used; it belonged to my mother, who was assistant head teacher at a primary school in Rosyth for 40 years. The sheets measure 21x34cm, or 8-1/4 x 13-1/2 inches as it was back then, and are ruled in charming light blue, dark blue and pink.
I love the fact I am reuniting the whole family with these drawings: my mother's register, my father's templates, and my brother's F-hole violin template I found. It feels like a wonderful collaboration.
R. M. Cameron & Sons Ltd were established at 166 Easter Road, Edinburgh EH7 SQE.
The post code would date the book to the 1960s, as they were first introduced in Norwich in 1959 (the year I was born) and rolled out across the UK in the 1960s.
