Textile Conservation UK - Textile Conservator Sally Jubb

Hello and welcome

to the website of

Textile Conservator

and Artist, Sally Jubb.

That's me.

I trained firstly as a scientist,

and then as a Textile Conservator

at the Textile Conservation

Centre in Winchester.

I have enjoyed

creating with fabric

since childhood,

and now I get

the best of both worlds,

conserving precious

antique textiles and

creating my own

textile art.

Before

I have been engaged

by a variety of professional

Textile Conservation studios,

working on nationally important tapestries,

carpets and other textiles.

However, I now devote my time to

the conservation of

those much-loved textiles

and leather items that

people have in their homes,

workplaces, churches and social venues,

as well as to developing my own art.

After

Textiles such as samplers,

costumes and banners

can all suffer from

a variety of environmental

and insect damage,

and will continue to

deteriorate without the

appropriate care

and conservation treatment.

I enjoy working

on the widest variety of

textile and leather objects.

In 2011, I worked on such diverse

items as a beaded chair, a Tibetan

wall-hanging, and an early 19th century

sampler that had been completed by the

sister of the young girl who started it,

due to the latter's untimely death.

I have also conserved objects

from several rural museums

in Dorset, and created a new altar throw

for a village church in Devon.

Before

Depending on its

current condition,

a textile might be

restored to as near the

original as possible,

or conserved to

stabilize its present

state, thus reducing

the possibilty of

future degradation.

After

If you would like to discuss a textile, including leather,

that's in need of some Tender Loving Conservation,

please Contact Me for a free, and friendly, informal chat

with no obligation.

OR, if you need an excuse to visit the beautiful county of Devon,

you can always arrange to bring your textile along to my studio

at the Cockington Court Craft Centre, near Torquay (TQ2 6XA).

Wearing my other hat, I am always pleased to accept art and craft commissions.
