Kate and Nick Bentley started Bils & Rye after several years of collecting sculptural glass and ceramics.

Together, the pair work out of Nunnington Studios located within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that encompasses the Howardian Hills and the southern entrances to the North York Moors. The couple live in the village too, with their young family and mad dog.

Bils & Rye source work from talent around the UK, either from established artists or emerging artisans. They carry a diverse range of stock by British contemporary artists and have recently begun to import some very high quality ceramics from Dubai, Spain and Germany.
