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.

The entrance is on the street level but stairs are required to visit the eclectic shop. They do have a webpage you can order from if stairs are an issue for you. I first found Homebody's during a Ladies Night on White as I wouldn't have stumbled onto it on my own as the entrance was in the back. But the unique items in the store were enough to bring me back. Besides the shop, in which you will find candles; stationery; clothing; baby items; items for the home; self care; and much more, they also offer workshops so you can learn some new skills. If you are in Downtown Wake Forest and looking for the perfect gift for someone make sure to stop in Homebody's.

Four people to a class so everyone got plenty of attention/help as needed. Directions were simple to follow and the laid back vibe to the class really made it not intimidating!

And if Union was gonna live up to the vibe set in their frequent Videri pop-ups. So I'm keeping an eye on Craft Habit, hoping they thrive now there are more things to do as more shops of supreme interest open up. I used to love the maker space concept that Jerry's artarama used to sponsor, near the now defunct SRI. So I am really fiending for a art/craft maker hookup now and then to learn a new craft and make friends. I'm gonna keep them on my bookmark list so I don't forget.

What a great place for a birthday party. My granddaughter had a blast attending this art party…read more This children's art studio is very organized and created a unique birthday party. The kids were thoroughly entertained and the morning went by very quickly. They took a break for some snacks, giving their painting time to dry for the next addition of glitter, feathers and strips of felt. I was very impressed as the person in charge was quick to get their little hands washed up in between their creative outlet. Would take her back here for one of their monthly workshops in the future.

I popped in here one afternoon bc a lunch place that I wanted to go to was closed. Although we didn't find lunch food here, we were curious enough about this place to go inside. We went inside the coffee shop and continued upstairs. We found a huge space with stations on both sides of the room. I enjoyed taking a few minutes rest sitting next to the windows that gave a view onto downtown Wake Forest. The view is spectacular and looking out, I could imagine why artists like to meet here for inspiration. This is a definite Wake Forest gem! I plan on spending a lot of time here.

I live just outside Raleigh, NC and only discovered this place about a year ago when I got back…read moreinto making art. Almost immediately it became my go-to shop for art supplies - and framing supplies as well. I do a bit of framing on the side for myself, family, and friends, and they carry a great selection of mat boards and backer/mounting boards, including archival products. I can't really speak to their in-store frame selection since I've only needed mat board and mounting supplies since I started shopping here. Their art supply selection is huge, and they carry just about anything you could need. The customer service has always been excellent - everyone I've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. And if someone wasn't personally familiar with what I needed help with, they were always quick to find another associate who was. Their prices are also very fair, especially considering the excellent selection and customer service you get in return. I would absolutely recommend this Jerry's to anyone. If you've never shopped there before, I think you'll be very happy once you do!

Have always loved Jerry's for art supplies, however, the custom framing is outrageously expensive…read more A 5 1/2 " x 6 1/2" image with a 2" mat and the cheapest wood frame was $622. On sale for $311. I was flabbergasted!! And the frame will not be ready for 6 weeks!!NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!
