ABOUT US
The Wood Arts Community has been created by Peter Borkowicz,
woodworker and custom furniture builder. Over the decades he has created solo and collaborative projects both with his staff and other members in the community.
The shops have a collection of industrial woodworking machinery. By renting a bench space, members have 24/7 access to all the machines and tools. Each member has their own bench with a vise, place for personal tool storage and materials plus power outlets and compressed air outlet availability. There are also several larger communal benches for member use.
We are located in the iconic 1000 Parker Street building in Vancouver, home to many outstanding artists, craftspeople and creators.
