A Legacy of Greats: The Burslem School of Art
We are incredibly proud to be the principal gallery for many of the legendary names tied to the influential Burslem School of Art.
We are honoured to exhibit works by 20th-century masters like Arthur Berry, Enos Lovatt, Jack Simcock, and Muriel Pemberton, all of whom have deep connections to this iconic school.
Today's Visionaries: Contemporary Artists
Our love for heritage and masters of the past is matched by our excitement for today's talent. We champion a stunning collection of contemporary, prize-winning artists who have captured the attention of international collectors.
Discover breathtaking new work from artists such as Richard Fitton, Helen Boardman, Philip Hardaker, Lucy Manfredi, Paine Proffitt, Rebecca Davies, Rob Pointon and we offer a range of lino-cut prints from printmakers Jane Pellington and Louise Edwards.
You Can't Visit Stoke without Seeing Pottery...
...and we would never dream of disappointing you! Our gallery is a treasure trove of studio and free-hand art pottery, all hand-picked by Amanda.
The Gift of Art (and Our Sustainable Promise)
Looking for a unique present? Our Art Gift Shop is filled with the perfect gifts, all priced under £100. It’s the perfect place to find limited-edition prints, beautiful glassware, small ceramics, and cards.
We also offer gift cards that you can gift to loved ones so they can choose something they will treasure.
In recent years, we've also embraced a sustainable approach, focusing on minimising waste and proudly showcasing work that uses sustainable or repurposed materials.
More Than a Gallery: A Warm Welcome
Barewall is a warm, friendly, and interesting place to be.
When you visit, you'll be greeted by Amanda, Paula, or friends and fabulous volunteers. We’re a small, passionate team dedicated to making your experience inspiring.
Of course, we would be remiss not to mention the adorable Monty, who you may also get to meet, often curled up in his doggie bed next to Amanda or pottering around the shop.
Come and explore the heart of “The Potteries”, its creative history and colourful future. We can't wait to share our passion with you.
