The Creative Workshop - Hamilton, Ontario

I’ve been working with John and the team at The Creative Workshop for over three years, and I truly couldn’t recommend them more highly. From national academic projects to local small business branding, to thoughtful personal gifts for family and friends—they’ve brought every idea to life with incredible skill, care, and creativity.

John is an absolute gem to work with: professional, kind, and always ready with great ideas and solutions. The communication is always clear and timely, and the quality of their work is consistently outstanding. Whether it’s a large-scale initiative or a small creative project, they treat every job with the same level of dedication and excellence.

The Creative Workshop is one of those rare businesses that makes you feel like a valued partner, not just a customer. I recommend them to everyone I know. Grateful to be a loyal client!

My wife and I dropped off 25 pieces of school uniform clothing to John. He had it done within 3 days! Absolutely great service and friendly staff! I highly recommend to parents who need uniform clothing done. He also has very unique custom woodwork pieces displayed throughout the store. Will definitely be returning to John.

Amazing place and John is fabulous. Very talented and knowledgeable. I dropped off 25 items for embroidery and they were done very quickly with excellent craftsmanship. Will definitely be a regular customer and would love to purchase some custom pieces as gifts or for my own home.

I can’t say enough good things about this business! I reached out last minute with an embroidery order before a planned trip, and not only did they take it on without hesitation, but they exceeded my expectations. The quality of the work is absolutely amazing — even better than I imagined. The owner was incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely went out of his way to make sure everything was completed on time. It’s rare to find service this good these days. Highly recommend and will definitely be back for future projects!

I had a very upsetting experience in the parking lot of Creative Workshops on Stone Church Road in Hamilton. I had pulled over into their lot briefly to take an important phone call — I was inside my vehicle the entire time and did not leave it. While I was on the call, a man walking a dog stopped behind my car and started taking pictures of it. When I asked him why, he said the masjid across the street asked him to report anyone parked there “illegally.”

I explained clearly that I was not attending Friday prayers at the time, that I had already gone earlier in the day and used the masjid’s designated parking. I told him I was just pulled over to safely take a phone call. Despite that, he continued taking photos of my vehicle. I felt deeply stereotyped and disrespected — as if I was being unfairly targeted just because of who he thought I was or what he assumed I was doing.

When I asked him to delete the photos, he ignored me and walked into the building using a key, clearly someone affiliated with the business. This is not how anyone should be treated — especially when they are inside their car and not interfering with anyone or anything. Extremely disappointing behavior and a disturbing experience overall.

I’ve gotten many things made here over the years, a lot of those being sentimental gifts or something custom for my son!
The attention to detail & craftsmanship that both John and Kaylee possess never fails to impress me!
Thank you so much for always helping my vision come to life & playing a part in some of my most special memories!

I recently had an epoxy table made and it turned out incredibly! John was awesome to work with. His pricing was extremely fair and he was very punctual. I’d highly recommend using John for your next project!

I purchased this charcuterie board from John and had it personalized for a bridal shower gift. The finished product was fabulous! John was so accommodating and had it ready for me in 2 days! The gift was as success! Thank you
