Biography
Waymouth was the daughter of Frederick and Alice Waymouth, and had a sister Eleanor who also became a notable artist.[1] Her parents built a homestead named Karewa in Fendalton, Christchurch in 1899-1890, where Waymouth grew up.[3] The property was sold and renamed in 1905 and became the historic place known as Mona Vale.[4]
Waymouth trained as an art metalworker and enameller. She travelled to England around 1905 or 1906 and studied at Charles Robert Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft in Chipping Campden.[5]
Waymouth exhibited and sold work in the 1906–1907 New Zealand International Exhibition held in Christchurch.[4]
In 1911 she visited England again and met and married the brother-in-law of her sister Eleanor, J.C. Hughes.[4]
