Testimonials

  • Kate

    “We took two classes at the makerspace whilst on holiday in Squamish and had a great time. The instructors Jensen and Eve were amazing and very knowledgeable. It was great to do something a bit different whilst on holiday and have a souvenir to take home with us. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!”

  • Katrina

    “Just did a workshop at Create Makerspace and it was so amazing!! So well-run, informative and fun!! Highly recommend visiting the space!”

  • James

    “I absolutely LOVE Create! My partner and I recently moved to Canada and were looking for a place to do a van build. Create was perfect! The wood shop had every tool we could ever need (including a Table Saw, Industrial drum sander, and more hand power tools than you can wave a stick at). The textiles studio was perfect for the finishing touches. And the metal shop has come in quite handy especially doing some mechanical work on the van. The staff are super friendly and it just feels like an overall nice place to hang out and make cool stuff!”

  • Tzvia

    “This place is great and so welcoming. I had never done any woodworking before and I took Wood Tools 1 and the cutting board class and then felt confident enough to try some of my own small projects. Oscar and Reese are great at teaching and explaining and they're incredibly patient and helpful. Thanks for building such a cool and functional space in Squamish.”

  • Dee

    “I think this is such a wonderful place to have in Squamish. I took the CNC class which I will say was initimidating but Oscar helped me through my first project and did everything he could to help me get it done for Christmas. Very much recommend!!”

    “I attended the Wood Tools Level 1 - Toolbox class as a complete beginner, and it was an excellent experience. Burke was an incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful, and patient teacher. He guided us through the different tools with great attention to detail and safety. The workspace is fantastic, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”
