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.

The Balcony Shop has new work by our long-standing supplier and friend of CoCA, Barbara Wood. Made using the Raku technique, which originated in Japan, Barabara’s striking black and white vessels feature lively rolled handles, finishing each piece with a surprisingly light touch. Meanwhile David Wright’s work is again available in the Shop – regular visitors may remember his limited edition of Tea Caddies, commissioned by CoCA for its 10th Anniversary. With a new range of beakers and footed bowls, and beautifully finished ceramic boxes with reclaimed wood lids, David’s stylish work is sure to be as popular as ever. And if you are interested in tableware, Mike Scown’s range of mugs, carved cups and goblets, along with coasters in a crystalline glaze are perfect as gifts or for your lunch or dinner table!  
All these and more are available to buy whenever you visit the Gallery.
