THE CREATIVE

WORKSHOP

There is no other way to describe The Creative
Workshop than a car lover’s paradise. The shop
is run by a collection of passionate automotive
aficionados who take great pride in their unique,
nationally-recognized approach to restoration of
one-of-a-kind vehicles with a historically-accurate,
craftsman touch.
What goes on inside is special, but so is the
building they occupy, a 100-year-old barn renovated
into a 10,000 square foot Concours Classic
restoration and custom coachbuilding workshop.
Walking in transports visitors to another era, much
like their vintage vehicle restoration projects.
"You could equate what we do with craftsmen
who work on vintage art, like a Picasso painting,"
Owner Jason Wenig says. "They ship it to a
specialist at the Smithsonian where they have a
basement full of people using special varnishes
and treatments to remove the layers of grime and
restore it to its original splendor. ... That’s what we
do here with cars."
At The Creative Workshop, you can marvel at
the unique automobiles, join special events like
Cars and Coffee Saturday, or support one of their
charity functions to bolster the neighborhood.
Everything is posted on their social media with full
details and links to RSVP if it is a private event.
"We are down to earth car people that love what
we do," Wenig says. "And when people come in,
whether they’re a car person or not, a guy or gal,
you can’t deny the art form of the automobile."
