Shack In The Back Designs

Shack In The Back Designs We're a Newcastle Ontario based small business with a passion to create. We laser engrave, we 3D print and we create lovable crocheted stuffies

Shack in the back was started in 2023 by Jacob Campbell and Ashley White. We love to create not only the items we sell, but the smiles and joy that comes with it. Ashley is in charge of our stuffed creature care. She carefully chooses colours and yarn to bring these lovable stuffies to life. Jacob is the operator of the factory (now hiring Oompa Loompas) Jacob 3D prints and laser engraves gizmos and gadgets with a side of signs, cutting boards and tumblers.

A little behind-the-scenes reveal from our latest market setup! 💙

Our old grey canopy is officially retiring, and we’re welcoming this bright turquoise ABC canopy to the Shack In The Back family. We’re still working on a few more design changes, so the finished look may still be a little while away: but we’re already loving the extra headroom and roomier feel!

It has the same footprint as our old canopy, but sits higher, giving us more headroom and a roomier feel for displaying our handmade crochet critters, 3D-printed creations, and other treasures at upcoming markets.

What a wonderful day! 💛

A heartfelt thank you to Jungle Cat World Wildlife Park for having us at the Savannah Marketplace & Member Appreciation Day on August 22. We’re so grateful for the warm welcome and for the opportunity to be part of such a fun and welcoming community celebration.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, chatted with us, shared a smile, and helped make the day so special. Your kindness and community spirit meant so much!

With gratitude,

The dragons are at it again 🐉

Crochet Dragon: “I'm one of a kind. Handmade with love.”

3D-Printed Dragon: “Cute. I have 2,847 perfect layers.”

Crochet Dragon: “At least I don't need supports.”

3D-Printed Dragon: “At least I don't need to count stitches.”

Crochet Dragon: “I can be squished.”

3D-Printed Dragon: “I can move.”

Both, side-eye: “…we clearly both live here now.”

Team Crochet, Team 3D Print, or Team both? 🐉
