About Us

Toronto Crafts is a

founder-led

studio rooted in hands-on learning, slow making, and community. We're a warm, intentional, and accessible space where people learn new trades and crafts--

woodworking, jewelry, leather, stained glass, textiles, renovation/DIY

--and leave with real skills and real things they made themselves.

Our north star:

accessibility, circularity, and autonomy

. Teaching here means helping people repair, reuse, and create--so they rely less on throwaway culture and more on their own two hands.
