Before my visit to AR Workshop in Milton, I had never experienced a DIY Workshop setting, and I have to say that AR Workshop set the bar pretty high. It is a beautiful farmhouse chic space located on the top floor of the Crabapple Market. You can access it via the elevator or stairs in the middle of the market. Parking is available in spaces right outside the market and a large gravel lot to the side. I decided to celebrate my 30th birthday with some of my close friends at one or AR Workshop's Saturday night events. When I arrived a few minutes early to the scheduled workshop time, I was greeted by several employees that were so welcoming. They showed me to my workstation at my table, which was so sweetly labeled, "Birthday Girl." All of my guests had their spot labeled with their name and we each had our project ready to work on that we had previously chosen during the online registration process. The staff was so generous to let me use one of the side tables to put my birthday snacks, beverages, and cake on. It was the perfect set up for my group to work and snack throughout the evening. Once everyone arrived, the staff began giving directions to get us started. Once the aprons went on, it was game on! Each table had all the tools for the night ready to go and a staff member that stayed pretty close by to help with any and everything. Faithe and Olivia were the staff members that helped at our table and they were amazing. They were both so willing to help each person with their project, provide suggestions, and take plenty of pictures of our group! The process is pretty simple and fun, no matter how creative you think you are. First, they let you stamp the back of your creation with a "Made By" stamp. Then, you get to pick your stain and your wash. They have your stencil cut and ready for you. All you have to do is use this handy picking tool to pick out some parts of the stencil. Then you apply the stencil to your project, paint it, and let it dry. There are so many options, so you are bound to find one that fits your style. If you need some creative inspiration, there are tons of projects all around the workshop to look at. I chose this place to celebrate a spacial event, and highly recommend that option, but I also plan to come back just for a fun night out. read more
