FROM THE NEWMAKEIT COMMUNITY
What people are saying.
Real experiences from people who came to learn, try something new and make something they were proud to take home.
Attended the railroad spike knife-making class and had a blast! The whole process was very hands-on, with the excellent instructor, Mark, providing guidance and support along the way. Each of the participants ended up with a fantastic knife at the end of the second session and everyone seemed to have a great time! Appreciated the small class size coupled with clear instructions and explanations, but also a lot of room for personal preference and creativity.
NEWMAKEIT is an amazing space to showcase and unleash your creativity! A good variety of classes to choose from! A friendly atmosphere with quite helpful staff members including Ryan and Yass! I loved their quiet location on Timothy Street in Newmarket as there is enough parking!
Wonderful place to develop skills — I love the woodworking courses. Members are friendly and helpful; a great community of makers.
The 3 week pottery class was so much fun we signed up for the monthly membership after day 2! The people there are all so friendly and helpful. It is a fantastic community of inspiring business owners and hobbyists.
