About Allendale Forge Studios & Gallery
Walking round the gallery space, pieces hang and sit at angles that make you want to look twice. There's no pretension about it. Some work will grab you immediately; other pieces take time. That's fine. The artists aren't trying to please everyone - they're making things they believe in.
It works best for people who actually care about craft. If you're the type who walks through galleries checking boxes, you might find it a bit slow. But if you're someone who stops to ask why a potter chose a particular glaze, or how a metalworker achieved a certain finish, you'll find hours disappearing here. Families with patient kids will manage fine; restless toddlers less so.
It sits well within a Northumberland break - Hexham's just down the road for provisions and a decent lunch. Staying at somewhere like Panoramic Pods or Langley Dam Glamping puts you in perfect striking distance. The Tyne Valley walk is nearby if you want to stretch your legs before or after. Allow a couple of hours minimum, longer if you get talking to anyone in the studio. Worth the detour if craft interests you at all.
