The theme for the 2021 Paisley Book Festival, Radical New Futures, emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic and the resilience and fortitude that […]

PIONEERS & PAUPERS JESSIE ROWAT (1864 – 1948) PIONEERS & PAUPERS

JESSIE ROWAT (1864 – 1948)

Jessie was born in Paisley on 28th May 1864 and grew up in a world of colours, textiles and designs. one of the four children of William Rowat and his wife, Margaret Downie Hill.
Her grandfather Robert was a prosperous thibet shawl maker in the town, he was a big burly man who was noted for stomping down Causeyside Street, taking up the whole width of the pavement to the terror of small boys. Her father inherited and continued on with the business.
Like her father, Jessie had an independent nature. At the age of eighteen she visited Italy, where she became interested in mosaics, textiles, pottery, and ‘peasant crafts’.

In 1889 Jessie married Fra Newbery who was head of the Glasgow School of Art. He was heavily involved in the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
This photograph shows Jessie wears a wool cape over a Carpaccio dress with her own embroidered decoration. Her “robe de style” was outside contemporary fashions. In 1894 she established an embroidery department at the Glasgow School of Art, her influence brought in international recognition and she was recognised in her own right as one of “The Glasgow Girls”.
Keen to promote embroidery as a form of art for all levels in society and for men and women, she established an Embroidery Department and Saturday classes, attended by over 100 women
As well as heading the embroidery department she brought up two daughters, Elsie and Mary, for whom she designed artistic yet practical dresses, as she designed and made her own attractive clothes.
After an illness she retired in 1908 as Head of Embroidery in the art school although she did continue to create her own work and showed her embroidery in exhibitions, including one at the Louvre in Paris.
She died on 27 April 1948 in Corfe Castle, Dorset where she and her husband, Francis Newbery, had gone to live after retirement.
