History
Jemima Rodger was born in 1894 and was a student at The Glasgow School of Art for the academic year 1914 to 1915 and again for the years 1916 to 1918. During this time she resided at 115 Roslea Drive, Denistoun.
Rodger was an evening student of Design during her time at The School. In her first year, she received a £1 bursary from the Haldane Fund and also funding from the City Local Authority. Rodger's occupation is recorded as 'embroidery designer,' which perhaps explains why she chose to pursue her studies by evening. Rodger was also a member of The Calico Printers Association, an industry which comprised of an amalgamation of dozens of different textile printing companies across the UK. Rodger was under the tutelage of Mr William M. Petrie, the instructor of textiles and demonstrator of colour treatments in textile printing.
Embroidery was a key branch of the Arts and Crafts Movement in Glasgow in the early 20th century, influenced by notable figures such as Jessie Newbury and Ann MacBeth, who both taught Embroidery at The School around this period. We may hope that Rodger's studies in the Design department enriched her professional practice as an embroidery designer.
