York Art Gallery Shop/Retail

Take home a memento of your visit to York Art Gallery by browsing our two shops, selling a creative range of gifts, books, art materials, prints and ceramic artworks.

Gallery Shop

Located on the ground floor, our fantastic shop sells prints, a wide variety of books and inspiring gifts for friends, family or as a treat for yourself.

The Balcony Shop

Located in a beautiful space on the first floor through CoCA (the Centre of Ceramic Art), and overlooking the Artists’ Garden at the back of York Art Gallery, this shop is free to visit during gallery opening hours and sells a wide variety of both decorative and functional art.

Its the last month of York Art Gallery’s hugely popular exhibition ‘Making Waves’, and throughout, the ceramics shop has been showcasing pottery techniques and styles from Japan. Two potters have Nerikomi, coloured clay, work on sale, the gold of Kintsugi decoration brings a touch of luxury, or choose a ‘chawan’ style teabowl as a gift or to treat yourself!
  The exhibition includes two beautiful kimonos, and regular supplier Sue Dunne has created a set of ‘Kimono Pots’, decorated with botanical elements that echo the imagery of the natural world seen in the woodblock prints downstairs. Sue’s clever ceramics in the instantly recognisable kimono shape make a witty and beautiful reminder of your visit to the Gallery!
