AR Workshop is a charming little studio, tucked away in the corner of the parking lot at Craig and Tenaya. As you walk past the windows, you can see how bright and cheerful the displays are, but once you step inside, you are instantly transported into a homey creative space! Jewel, the owner, loves her job and it shows!
My girlfriends and I have been crafting at AR Workshop for about a year now. Jewel offers an amazing assortment of projects, from candle making, blanket weaving, making wreaths, making wood signs, pillows, canvas bags, cookies, cake pops and more! There is truly something for everyone! We have crafted most of the types of projects she has to offer!
Going to Jewel's classes is like spending time with a dear friend! She is so patient with her instructions and won't let you leave until you are happy with your project! Most of the time, my girlfriends and I stay hours after the class is over, talking and laughing. Jewel truly is a rare gem!
Unlike most of the other studios the girls and I frequent, Jewel is happy to let you bring in your own food and drinks! If you happen to forgot and get thirsty, Jewel will offer you a soda or a water (usually $3-5 else where.)
Most recently, we had my niece's 10th birthday party at the studio. Despite having a very small budget (as I had just started my new job after months of being unemployed) there was no shortage of fun and excitement! Jewel's patience and nurturing attitude with all the ranges of ages of children was amazing!
I cannot say enough good things about Jewel and AR Wiorkshop! But don't take my word for it! Grab ypur girlfriends! Grab your boyfriends! Grab your SO! Grab your kids! Go meet Jewel and have a fabulous time crafting! You will fall in love, just we did! read more
