Hello, I'm Sally Joy Jubb. Welcome to my website.
After spending much of my working life in a scientific environment, I trained as a Textile Conservator at the Textile Conservation Centre in Winchester UK. I have always enjoyed creating with fabric, and now I get the best of both worlds... conserving precious antique pieces, and creating my own textile art and craft.
Tragically, the Textile Conservation Centre is under threat of closure by Southampton University. If this happens, it's difficult to see where future conservators wil come from. To read the Government's response to the petition to save the TCC click here , but it's definitely not worth looking at! STOP PRESS: The TCC are in discussion with Oxford University!!!
Part of my week is spent in a professional conservation studio, working mostly on large National Trust tapestries. The rest of my time is devoted to my own art, and also to conserving those smaller much-loved textiles that many people have in their homes (such as samplers, costumes, fashion items or other clothing) which may have suffered from a variety of environmental damage. I also work on items from museums, churches, the WI... anywhere!
Depending on its condition, and the wishes of my client, a textile might be restored to as near to the original as possible, or simply conserved to stabilize its present condition, reducing the possibility of future degradation.
If you have such a textile that you would like to discuss, please feel free to get in touch for a no-obligation chat. You can email me at sally.jubb@virgin.net and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
But if you're simply interested in textiles, please explore my site.
