History
Rona Locke Bremner (born 19/02/1897) attended the Glasgow School of Art between 1914 and 1918. During her time at the GSA, she first studied Drawing and Painting, and then in 1917 additionally studied Design, focussing on "Fashion Metal". The School often recommended that students pass the first level of Drawing and Painting before they moved onto studying any aspects of Design. While she was at the School, Rona became involved with the Belgium Tryst, a fundraising event organised by staff and students of the school to raise money for Belgian refugees, and Belgians living under the occupation of Germany. This event took place over one weekend in January 1915. Rona assisted with the Winter Garden Tea Room, most likely as a waitress. The students waitressing were asked to dress in costume.
Rona Locke Bremner later married the playwright and co-founder of the Citizens Theatre, Osborne Henry Mavor (or James Bridie). She died in 1985.
