Introducing Black Creek Workshop

Black Creek Workshop is the collaboration of husband and wife team, Benjamin and Maeve Bristow, and specializes in Architectural and Decorative Arts Conservation. With Benjamin’s extensive work as a highly skilled historic carpenter and cabinetmaker, and Maeve’s formal training and employment as a conservator of painted surfaces and historic interiors, they bring over 20 year of experience and professional expertise to their new business.

In addition to historic conservation, we will be offering custom furniture and cabinet work from our new workshop. We will be focusing on producing faithful reproductions and well as custom designed works. We hope to feature upcoming projects on our blog and feature items available for purchase.



Located in Toano, Virginia, our workshop encompasses 2000sqft of studio space and a fully equipped cabinet shop. However due to the nature of large-scale projects, our work is often carried out on-site at locations throughout Virginia & South East USA.
