Crafted Spaces was established in 2010. We are a sewing studio and creative workspace, offering sewing classes and creative workshops to children and adults. We provide small group classes, private lessons, day camps and creative events.

Crafted Spaces is located at 2 Forrester Road, Shanty Bay, south of Ridge Road and Line 3. Our classes are held at our quite home-based studio, nestled among the trees just off Lake Simcoe. We also have a commercial studio located in the heart of Orillia, at 5 Peter Street. Our Peter Street location is available by appointment only. Crafted Spaces can also bring the fun to you, and is available in Barrie, Toronto, and surrounding areas.
