It is time to update my review after so many years. AR Workshop is still located in the same spot…read morein Wakefield. What has changed is that they now offer even more variety in workshops. They still have all the original workshops but have expanded the options to add candles, blankets, sourdough bread, cookie decorating, canvas to cornhole boards. Some of the classes are for adults and others are for children. It is easy to register on the website. The hard part is selecting your project and design. The staff is friendly and will offer as much help as you need. There is even a gift shop in the front with décor, kits to do projects at home or finished projects if you prefer they make it for you.

I arrived on a rainy Thursday night. The space was very nice and well-lit, creating a warm and…read morewelcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed the candle-making experience with White Street Market. All of the scents were incredible, and I'm especially pleased with the lemongrass and sage blend (I believe that's the scent I chose). There were a plethora of candle scent selections I was just drawn to lemongrass. There was a wide variety on candles on sale for purchase. A great value for last minute gift ideas. Yuki was so pleasant and welcoming, and I truly appreciated her patience as I asked the same questions multiple times. lol Her support made the experience even better, and I'm grateful for her help with my candle. It was a wonderful experience overall! I was hoping for more opportunities to personalize the branding of my candle. Perhaps you could include blank stickers featuring the Candle Shop name with a space for customers to write our name or intention of their creation. I think this would add an extra layer of value and a personal touch for your customers. Just a suggestion!"

Back in July I was excited to try a sea glass Christmas tree class with my sister and mom. My mom…read morecame in from out of town to attend. While out at dinner approximately an hour and a half before the class was scheduled to start, I happened to check my email and saw the class was cancelled. Angela asked for dates we could attend a makeup class and I quickly gave her one that would potentially work. After looking at the dates I quickly emailed her back and told her that wouldn't work and asked for a refund. She told me per her written policy there were no refunds (even when she was the one cancelling the class) but she would give me a take home kit. I quickly replied with the colors for my kits per her request. After that time I've hardly been able to get a reply from her and haven't gotten a single reply in over a month. This has been going on for two months now. I've sent countless emails and reached out on social media and have gotten no response from her. I've grown incredibly frustrated as I'm owed almost $200 and she will not reply. I hate to leave a negative review for anyone but this is incredibly unprofessional to cancel a class last minute and not offer an exception to your cancellation policy or at least reply to a costumer when they are trying to see when they can pick up a take home kit.
