about us
Hello Sailors
We are Tabby and Hessy: married artists and founders of Sailors Jail.
Having studied at Central Saint Martins and Kingston Art School respectively, we lived on a boat in Kingston for ten years, and founded the Nationwide Cygnets Art School in 2015, before moving to Cornwall.
We have two children: Rudy and Ziggy, as well as the Sailors Jail dog: Badger (who you may recognise from some artworks in the shop..)
When searching for a new venue for our Falmouth classes, we came across the Sailors Jail space, and immediately knew it would make the perfect gallery.
Having already been searching for a local place to buy unusual, original artwork and unable to find anywhere, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
We absolutely love working with our local artists to create the amazing and unique space that is Sailors Jail.
