Support Local. Celebrate Craft.
At the workroom, we’re proud to stock thoughtfully made products from Canadian designers and independent brands. From the whimsical embroidery kits of Hook, Line & Tinker to the inspiring pages of Uppercase Magazine, each item in our Canadian Makers Collection reflects the artistry, passion, and spirit of the local maker community.
Choosing these goods means investing in creativity close to home and helping small businesses thrive.
Crafted Close to Home
We believe in the value of small-scale, Canadian-made goods. The makers in this collection create with purpose, designing high-quality tools, kits, and supplies that support creativity and community. By choosing products made close to home, you're helping to sustain local businesses and the future of independent craft in Canada.
