Like the other reviews, nice art shop. I actually went in for some candle making items. The items…read moreavailable were a little limited, no kits & no bulk wax bags just 1kg bags. Being a novice to candle making I made some enquiries as what was needed to the staff who were more than help full, even to the point of asking another member of staff who had more knowledge. Had a brief look at the other craft sections & seems to be well stocked. I don't know of any other store in the town that supplies arts & craft so probably your best bet.

Last time I was there I bought a lot of glass paint and good quality brushes which I am still using to this day.

This shop will inspire you to create master pieces and fantastic disasters. The glow in the dark paint really works so don't spill it on things you don't want people to see.

I have used this company a number of times for framing and getting photos taken and they offer a very professional and reliable service.

If you are looking for a gift for someone that is totally different then give these guys a visit you will not be disappointed.

July 6, 2024 Love…read morelove love The Biscuit Factory! Located in an old biscuit (cookie) factory, this beautiful old building displays contemporary art over several floors. Wide, open staircases carry you to each floor where your eyes take in the tastefully planned displays. Little benches here and there invite you to sit and soak in all the art. All the artwork is for sale. The best part for us - we enjoyed Afternoon Tea in the Biscuit Factory Cafe. We were able to choose from their regular offerings, vegetarian or vegan. Our delicious food included mini quiches, mini sandwiches, avocado toast, lemon blueberry cake, brownie bites and cherry scones with Chantilly cream. I know how much my partner loves me when when he gave me his little pot of that incredible cream! Free admission to the gallery. Really nice gift shop. Beautiful art!

On the outside, it looks rather small but once you are inside, the rooms actually extend really far back and it is a lot bigger than you'd expect on both floors. One of my favorite things about this gallery is that most (if not all?) pieces here are made by local artists and a lot of the pieces they had were all tied to a Newcastle theme which is one of the reasons why I am very drawn to this gallery! The Biscuit Factory features so many unique pieces that you just aren't able to see in any musem or gallery.
