Welcome to the Shack! Meet Ashley, Jacob & Their Creations
Hey there, and welcome to Shack In The Back Designs – the brainchild of best friends Jacob Campbell and Ashley White, launched in 2023 right here in Newcastle, Ontario! Our main gig? Simple: "Crafting smiles since 2023!" Seriously, we get a huge kick out of making cool stuff and seeing the grins it brings to faces, whether you're 8 or 88!
So, who's behind the magic?
Meet Ashley, our resident yarn whisperer and head of "stuffed creature care"! She dives into piles of the softest yarns, picking out the perfect colours to crochet adorable Amigurumi critters that are practically bursting with personality. Think huggable farm buddies, quirky sea creatures, and maybe even a mythical pal or two – all handmade with love and ready for cuddles.
And then there's Jacob, the captain of our "factory"! He's the tech wizard, firing up the 3D printers to create awesome "gizmos and gadgets" – from epic dragons to armies of adorable miniature animals, all made with eco-friendly PLA. Not stopping there, he also commands the laser engraver, zapping cool designs onto signs, cutting boards, tumblers, and even personalized mini sports jerseys!
What does this dynamic duo cook up? A fantastic mix of cozy and cutting-edge:
Amigurumi Cuddle Monsters: Handmade crochet pals so soft and full of character, you'll want to collect them all.
Awesome 3D Prints: Intricate dragons that look ready to take flight, super-detailed mini creatures, and other cool stuff made with planet-friendly PLA.
Laser-Zapped Goodness: Custom signs to make your campsite the coolest, cutting boards with personality, unique sports jerseys for your desk, and loads more.
We absolutely love hitting the road for shows and markets, so if you spot the Shack In The Back setup in your town, come on over and say hi! We genuinely enjoy meeting the folks who dig our creations. Whether you're hunting for that perfectly unique gift, a quirky desk buddy, some personalized flair, or just a little something to make you smile, we hope you find it right here!
