ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jo Allsopp
Sable Studio Gallery was set up 15 years ago in the grounds of Moira Furnace Museum. From my gallery space I sell my watercolour paintings, mosaics, cards, jewellery and gift ware. With such a spacious studio, this enables me to teach my own private regular painting and drawing classes plus weekend workshops in all of the above media.
In 2019 I was chosen to appear on BBC One on the new art TV series 'Home is where the art is' with presenter Nick Knowles which was a fabulous experience. Loving art of a different kind, I am a black belt and currently a world champion in Tae Kwon-Do at hand power - have been British Champion breaking boards and held many more titles from this martial art and Judo
IN THE NEWS
Stories & Headlines
WORKING WITH THE SAA
I am now a regular contributor to the art company SAA whose headquarters are in Newark and they have over 44,000 members. All of the live workshops I have presented so far, have been sell outs and I also regularly feature in their magazine 'Paint'. More work is lined up for me this year where I will be performing loose demonstrations live at Leicester Racecourse in October 2020 and have more workshops to perform in July and November
LIVE STREAMING WORKSHOP
This demonstration was thoroughly enjoyed by an audience of 35 learners and was streamed live to viewers at home too. With more bookings to fulfil, all can be viewed on SAA video on demand to members
THE AWESOME ART COMPANY
Having been spotted by one of the Directors, I was approached to work with above named company last year. They now produce and sell many of my prints onto canvas, cushions, phone cases, luggage with many more exciting products to come
CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATOR
My Nana is an Alien by Diane Whitley and The Hungry Dragon by Wanda Pierpoint are two books where you can see my illustrations. These can be purchased on here and on Amazon and I'm currently working on my next big project - news will come soon. Exciting times. As I completed some of my training with London Art College, they feature me as a success story online
