Helen Dargavel attended The Glasgow School of Art between 1917 and 1922. The School's records contain conflicting information regarding her year of birth. Both 1897/1898 are cited, with 1898 being used more frequently. Dargavel's address is listed as Innes Street, Inverness, but for session 1920-21 a second address was listed: 'c/o Haldane, Bath Street, Glasgow' and for session 1921-22 another: 'c/o Robertson, St Georges Road, Glasgow'.

Dargavel attended day school throughout and took classes in Drawing and Painting. In 1917-18 she also undertook classes in needlecraft and lettering, and in 1920 she took an unspecified class within the Design department. Little more is known about Dargavel, although it appears from the records that she received some external funding from the Highland Society and the Secondary Education Committee in order to attend her classes.

Although a connection is not certain, the Inverness Burgh Post Office Directory from 1911-12 lists a William Dargavel, Engine Driver, in the residence later listed as being Helen Dargavel's home in the Glasgow School of Art registers.

Jack Cunningham would describe himself as a contemporary narrative jeweller. Relationships, place and memory, are factors of particular significance in the dialogue present in his jewellery. Equally important in the process of communicating his ideas are the materials incorporated, which include found objects and ready-mades. Through the process of association and personal viewing methodologies, Cunningham is interested in the narrative that is consequently established between the maker – the originator of the artefacts statement, the wearer – the vehicle by which the work is seen, and the viewer – the audience who thereafter engage with the work.

As an academic he held the post of Lecturer, then Head of the Silversmithing and Jewellery Department at The Glasgow School of Art (1990 – 2008). Cunningham became Head of the School of Jewellery at Birmingham City University, between 2008 and 2014. In 2017 he was Visiting Professor at Kolding School of Design, Denmark, and in 2018/19 at Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland and Limoges School of Art (ENSA) in France. His work is held in numerous public collections, including; the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), the Crafts Council Collection, the Royal Scottish Museum - Edinburgh, and the Museum of Decorative Arts - Montreal.
Recently, Cunningham has been creating non-wearable miniature compositions – 3 dimensional collages; mixed media fragments and objet trouve which, when brought together, may suggest a narrative greater than their individual parts.

Cunningham and his wife Jennifer live permanently in France, spending time between their village house in the South West and their apartment in Paris.

Ellen Cunningham (née Timney) studied Embroidery and Weaving at The Glasgow School of Art between 1960-1964.

Rebecca Crompton gained a reputation as a teacher of dress design and embroidery in the Croydon School of Art and was remembered for her highly coloured wool embroidered cloths and experimental embroidery technique. Influenced by the work of the Wiener Werkstätte in Austria, whose highly advanced examples of embroidery design were displayed in the first public exhibition of the Embroiderers’ Guild in November 1923, Crompton was also keen on monochromatic schemes and worked some of her most successful embroideries in whites, greys and blacks, using transparent fabrics. She had been fascinated by the possibilities of machine stitching since she had seen some of the remarkable pictures produced at the end of the 19th century on the Singer domestic sewing machine. By the 1930s she was combining machine and hand embroidery to produce her highly individual designs. A pioneer of mixed techniques and fabrics, Crompton utilised raw edges as part of the design process, as seen in this piece from about 1936. Although criticised by traditional embroiderers for her experimentation, Crompton revolutionised many of the previous thoughts on embroidery and dress in the schools of art, stating ‘extreme neatness in design is not necessarily a good thing artistically.’

Photographer.

Born Liverpool, 15 Aug 1845; died Horsham, Sussex, 14 Mar 1915. British illustrator, designer, painter, writer, and administrator.
His career was very varied, but he is best remembered today as an illustrator of children's books, a field in which he was prolific throughout his life. He took this work very seriously, believing that ‘We all remember the little cuts that coloured the books of our childhood. The ineffaceable quality of these early pictorial and literary impressions affords the strongest plea for good art in the nursery and the schoolroom.’
His work for adults included designing wallpaper, and he was a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement that tried to rehabilitate good design and craftsmanship. He was greatly interested in art education, serving on various examination boards; in the 1890s he taught in Manchester and Reading, and in 1898–9 he was principal of the Royal College of Art. He was also Assessor for Diplomas, scholarships and bursaries (Design) at GSA in the 1911/1912 and 1912/1913 sessions.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri on September 2nd, 1945, Paula became interested with art when she lived in Oldenburg, West Germany. She has since received a Master of Fine Arts Degree form the University of Colorado in Boulder. She became a instructor of Silkscreen at that same University, where she began producing her own work. Her work is now popular throughout the United States. A lot of her work's inspiration comes from backpacking in the mountains of the West.

James Hoey Craigie was born in Tradeston, Glasgow on May 7, 1870, one of three children of Magdalene Hoey and James Craigie, a drapery warehouseman. James was an architectural draughtsman and apprentice to James Hamilton from 1885 to 1890. He attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1889 to 1896 as a student in Architecture. In 1894 he won the Alexander Thompson traveling scholarship which took him to France and Italy. In 1895 he joined the office of architecture firm Clarke, Bell & R A Bryden as a principal assistant. In 1905, he took R A Bryden's place as a partner in the firm, owing to his more contemporary and competitive skill in Neo-Greek, German Baroque and Art Nouveau design. During the First World War, James served as a captain in the Royal Engineers, receiving a commission in the 7th battalion of the Highland Light Infantry. He served as Deputy Commander in the Royal Engineers in Stirlingshire until 1917, and then in France from 1917 until the end of the war. Afterwards, he continued working as an architect, becoming a fellow in the Royal British and the Scottish Institute of Architects as well as the Glasgow institute of Architects. He died March 30, 1930 in Glasgow. James Hoey Craigie is commemorated on The Glasgow School of Art's First World War Roll of Honour. Also appears on the Glasgow Institute of Architects Roll of Honour (Fellow).
