Canny Crafty are family-run business specialising in pottery painting, parties and baby prints. We hope to bring fun, enjoyment and a sense of achievement to both children and adults as well as the benefits that a creative activity can deliver.
We have now expanded to two fantastic locations: Canny Crafty Newcaslte (Gosforth), and our new site at Wheelbirks (Stocksfield).
Based in a quirky space, formerly an old sweet shop, on Salters Road in Gosforth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In our Newcastle based venue you can paint pottery, visit us to capture your baby’s hand and footprints onto ceramics and celebrate in style with a pottery painting party!
Fancy a night out with a difference?! We aren’t just for kids! We host monthly Friday Night Late Night events (18+) where you can bring a bottle (corkage charge applies) and order in a takeaway.
Our brand new location, launched in March 2022, based in a beautiful barn in the farmyard of Wheelbirks Farm, Stocksfield. Make a day of it by visiting us with family or friends for a pottery painting session or baby prints then head to Wheelbirks Parlour to enjoy delicious food and their wonderful ice-cream.
Experience pottery painting, capture your baby’s hand or footprints onto ceramic pieces or celebrate a special occasion with us by having a creative Canny Crafty party!
Today was our second visit and my 2 1/2 year old daughter loves it almost as much as I do. So relaxing and she stays quiet for nearly 1 1/2 hrs which money can't buy. Lovely staff- so friendly. Could happily sit painting for hours listening to Disney songs. Thank you soo much
Cannot recommend here enough, both for an adult night out or family day out. The atmosphere is fantastic! First went for the adult evening session and been back again since, was so relaxing and everyone was so friendly. Went back for a third time today with my cousin's little ones, who had an absolute blast! They loved choosing a ceramic to paint and planning the decoration. Really had them talking and laughing. They were so concentrated and immediately asked to come back again. They also had a kids lunch box, which is easily amazing value for money!! Staff are so helpful and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and no what you are doing. Never fail to impress, and stock is always changing which makes it all the more exciting.
My girlfriend and I visted for the first time on Saturday. From booking online to leaving it was fab super smooth. The staff were super friendly from the moment we walked in, made us feel very welcome. Its such a fab warm and friendly place to go and chill. We had a lovely date afternoon, can't wait to pick our bits up. Thanks so much we will be back to try the cake next time.
Such a lovely day here today making some bits with my little girls hand and footprints on. The staff are so friendly and the choice of products to choose from is fab!
Rosie thoroughly enjoyed her party this morning. Thank you so much it was lovely and we’ll definitely be back.
Had a great afternoon painting espresso mugs and saucers. Great value for money, lush coffee and fantastic for the mind and soul. Feel so chilled and can't wait to collect our finished products once they've been in the kiln. We will be back.
We had our daughter's 7th birthday party and the whole experience was great. The kids loved it and the owner made it such a lovely experience. I'd recommend for any kids who love craft.
Had a lovely afternoon today at canny crafty, the staff were very welcoming and lovey. Our 5 year old loved painting her little house lantern and also our 1 year old loved doing her foot prints with the help of staff. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be going again and also recommending this place.
Had my daughters 7th birthday here and couldn’t recommend enough! The girls were kept totally entertained and it’ll definitely be back xx
Had a great time at Canny Crafty for my baby shower, nice afternoon tea and enjoyed the painting. Looking forward to seeing the finished results!
Went to the Friday night late night /adults only session with my friend and we will defiantly be back! We ordered a takeaway and enjoyed some booze alongside painting, what a fab way to spend a Friday night, staff were fab and the selection of pottery was good too, many thanks!!
I went to the October adult only night with three friends and loved it so much I have booked to go again in November with my mum and sister 🙂 The evening itself was chilled and relaxed, we painted as we chatted and drank. The lady (sorry I didn’t get her name) explained about the brushes and paints, and she was lovely and friendly. I have just picked up my pieces this morning and I am over the moon with how the items turned out. The colour came out beautifully. I can’t wait to come back!
