Talks and Tours

The Stradling Collection features over 2,000 objects, including studio and commercial ceramics, glass, sculpture, furniture, industrial design, and various artworks. Celebrated for its national significance, it is a true treasure of the South West.

During our Curator Tours and Talks, discover the captivating design histories of Bristol, the story of the now-closed Guild, and more remarkable tales from our 20th and 21st-century design collection.

The collection is both eclectic and engaging, often sparking nostalgic reactions from visitors who exclaim, “Oooh – we had one of those!”.
