What Do We Sell At Smokey Crow Emporium?

At Smokey Crow Emporium, we sell more than just things — we sell stories, skills, and a sense of place.

Our shelves are filled with affordable art, crafts and curiosities made right here in the North East of England, with a strong focus on Northumberland and Newcastle. Every piece in the shop has been created by a real artist or maker from our local area, using traditional skills, creative imagination and a genuine love of their craft.

A physical shop in a digital world

Smokey Crow Emporium is a bricks-and-mortar store, proudly encouraging a traditional shopping experience. We believe there is something special about taking your time, having a proper look, picking things up, and discovering something unexpected.

Our space is relaxed, welcoming and a little bit quirky — the kind of place where you can browse without pressure, chat about the work, and leave feeling inspired rather than rushed.

Smokey Crow Emporium a Different Kind of Shopping Experience

What you’ll find inside

Our collection changes regularly, but you can expect to discover:

• Original artwork – paintings, prints and illustrations you won’t find on the high street

• Handmade heritage crafts – rooted in traditional skills and regional character

• Upcycled and reworked furniture – giving old pieces new life and personality

• Curiosities and one-of-a-kind objects – perfect for gifts or for keeping

Everything is thoughtfully made, often in small batches, and chosen for its quality, individuality and character.

Think of us as a physical Etsy shop

If you like the idea of Etsy but prefer to see, touch and experience things in person, Smokey Crow Emporium is for you. We bring together a diverse group of North East makers under one roof, creating a space that celebrates local creativity without the noise of mass production.

It’s a shop for people who value:

• Craft over convenience

• Local over generic

• Character over perfection

Whether you’re looking for something beautiful, useful, unusual or meaningful, you’ll find items here that reflect the creativity and spirit of the North East.

Smokey Crow Emporium is about supporting local artists and crafters, keeping traditional skills alive, and offering something a little different. We invite you to slow down, explore, and enjoy the simple pleasure of discovering something made with care, just down the road.
