Joy Boutrup

Resumé:
My background is an education in textile engineering, specializing in textile chemistry. I have many years experience in conveying the knowledge of structures, properties and applications of textiles. My main activities have applied to the education of textile- and fashion designers at the two design schools in Denmark and in teaching at the school of conservation in Copenhagen.

In these special fields I have been in demand as lecturer and teacher both in Denmark, in the other Scandinavian countries, in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and Slovenia. I am there mainly known for my ability to inform about new and old technologies in the textile field in an understandable way and for being instigator in connection with the development of textile art, analysis and -conservation.

My main strength is the ability to analyze structures, develop new methods and techniques and to solve problems in connection with the practical realization of ideas in textile art and conservation.
