The Old Bank PotteryStudio and Gallery

The Old Bank Pottery Studio and Gallery occupies a former bank building on the High Street in Henley-in-Arden, opened in April 2026 by Kate and Jonathan Lillard after they moved to the town. Rather than the art gallery they first planned, the couple converted the building into a working pottery studio once they saw the space, fitting room for twelve wheels, a separate hand-building area for ten, two kilns and a glaze room. Teaching is led by studio potter Selby Dickinson, who has thrown and taught for more than thirty years, running taster sessions, weekend beginner and progression courses, weekly clubs and family workshops. The attached gallery shows painters and ceramicists from across Europe alongside work made on site. The studio also takes private hire bookings for groups and events.
