Visit to the Textile Conservation Centre and Winchester School of Art Library, Winchester Campus, University of Southampton, 21 June 2007 The visit will start at 2.00 in the Textile Conservation Centre which is having an Open Day on this date. A variety of pieces will be on display and conservators will be on hand to discuss their work. The Textile Conservation Centre is a leading international centre for the education of textile conservators and for research into textile conservation. The Textile Conservation Centre is housed in a purpose-built building described as being both functional and elegant which has won architectural awards. We will then visit the Winchester School of Art Library where the textile collections now include Janet Arnold, Montse Stanley and Richard Rutt and specialist collections covering dress history and knitting. Trains to Winchester are hourly from London Waterloo and the journey takes 50 minutes to an hour. The School of Art is a 10 minute walk from the station. This promises to be a fascinating visit and I'm assured that June is a wonderful month in which to visit the campus and Winchester!
