Biography

Coleborn was born in India and was educated at Leeds High School in England and then studied at the Royal College of Art in London, becoming an Associate of the Royal College in 1936.[1][2] As well as working as an art teacher, Coleborn produced designs in glass and embroidery and painted in both oils and gouache.[1] She exhibited works at the Royal Academy in London and at major international exhibitions of glass works.[1][2] Among those who purchased glass pieces by Coleborn was Queen Elizabeth II.[1]

In 1935 she married the artist Edwin Keith Coleborn (1909–2005), who was the principal of a number of art schools throughout his career. The couple lived at Downe in Bromley and both designed stained glass windows for their local church, St Mary's.[3]

gollark: But what if you don't have a calculator and want the factorial of a number between 1 and 7 without the hard work of multiplying 4 by 3 by 2 by 1 and so on?
gollark: Convenient formula for factorials up to 7: x! = (x - 1) * -1 / 5040 * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) - x * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 7) + x / 720 * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x * -1 / 120 * (x - 1) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x / 24 * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x * -1 / 6 * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 5) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x / 2 * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 6) * (x - 7) + x * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * (x - 3) * (x - 4) * (x - 5) * (x - 6).
gollark: Desmos is nice when I have to plot things for whatever reason.
gollark: I have my phone around much more often than a calculator, but find my calculator generally better than my phone for doing much maths on. Probably because it has hardware buttons (I don't like typing on touchscreens) and software which makes many tasks easier than my phone's default calculator app.
