Meet Wendy and Jubal
Chintz & Wood is the shared studio practice of textile maker Wendy March and woodworker Jubal Prevatte.
Wendy works with vintage and surplus cloth, using natural dyes, hand stitching and traditional lampshade-making techniques. Jubal works with local and reclaimed timber, allowing the grain, shape and history of each piece of wood to guide what it becomes.
Together, we make textiles, lighting, wooden objects and furniture for homes that value craft, materials and individuality.
Alongside our own work, we stock a small number of independent makers whose values match ours — thoughtful design, honest materials and things made to last.
Materials with a Past
We often begin with something that already exists: a length of vintage linen, a discarded silk garment or timber from a fallen or carefully felled tree.
Natural dyes give old cloth new colour and depth, while local and reclaimed wood carries its previous life into the finished piece. Because the materials vary, no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
Beyond the studio
Our work also appears in exhibitions, historic houses and collaborative interiors. Recent projects have included collections for Knepp Wilding, work shown at Standen and lighting and textiles made for Tern in Worthing.

Our East Worthing space is home to Wendy’s textile studio and a changing programme of exhibitions, pop-ups, workshops and seasonal shop openings.
We are no longer open every week, but you can visit on selected dates throughout the year. Our work remains available to buy online at any time.
