We have taught over 40 crafts in 40 years and attempt to offer classes that are current with what is popular in the “Crafting World” as well as offering classes in the traditional crafts. Our teachers have years of experience and are eager to share their knowledge. If you do not see a class being offered in your area of interest, then we encourage you to call the Guild at (905) 294-7421 or email us at
markhamguild@rogers.com. If there is sufficient interest in a craft, we will try to locate a teacher for it. The majority of classes are offered in the Fall period, September 1 to December 15. 

Group classes and workshops give participants an opportunity to spend some quality time together while learning a new skill. You may find it so enjoyable that you will make it a regular event. 

Click on any one of our wonderful craft classes or workshops to access more detailed information.

You will be amazed what beautiful crafts you can make in a short period of time!
