AR Workshop - Sacramento

Ever wonder how all those shops on Etsy specializing in personalized items stay in business? Get a full tutorial - and personalized item - through a 3+ hour class at AR. What a great concept.Ahead of time, you pick a project you want to do, and when you arrive, your set up and personalized stencil are ready for you.Nariné and Michelle did a pretty good job handling the group of 15. Unlike other craft nights, their help is critical through many steps of the project, so there are occasional lags in time. However, this gives you a chance to chit chat and take your time.That being said, many projects took longer than the 3 hours. We didn't feel rushed, but I do wish it had stayed closer to 3 hours. I'd recommend thinking a bit ahead of time what colors you want to use and type of paint technique you might want to use. These decisions can take a lot of time at the beginning of class.Definitely a fun bonding activity!

I highly recommend checking this place out! The owner & staff are AMAZING! Friendly, patient & fun! We walked in to find our stations already set-up with our respective project (pre-registration). The owner took her time to explain the process before setting us loose. The staff walked around and assisted at each step.They do special events and even have a deal where you attend 5 sessions your 6th one is free.

Narine and her staff are so friendly and helpful. I have been there twice and both times were soo fun. I am not crafty at all but they are right there to help. The workshop itself is super cute too! I just have to pace myself in going back for more projects...for my poor bank accounts sake!

Have gone twice in one week--that's how much fun we had. This is a hands-on DIY workshop where you produce a project you choose. Nar and her team are great; they help you with stain and paint choices and how to apply your stencil and paint your project. I was thrilled with both of my projects and so were my friends with their projects. I had a vision for my second project, a box centerpiece for my dining table, and Nar developed a custom design for me. I highly recommend this for team building, date night, girls' night out, or family fun. Can't wait to go back and make a large lazy Susan

I love this place. Such a fun experience to share with my daughter. They just open and my daughter and I have already done 2 projects. The projects are decor items that you can customize or use the stencil they have to beautify your home. You can also get a group together and everyone can do something different. It's not like those wine and painting classes you do with your girlfriends... You will want to put up what you made. The possibilities are endless and it really is fun. The owner is also very nice.

Without knowing what to expect and this having been my first time doing any social crafting/making/painting, I gotta say I LOVED it! Our group/party had the room and although there were 15 of us, and each project was complex with several necessary techniques and steps, I never felt lost. The crew of 4 staff were on point at all times providing personal instruction and assistance to each of us. Special shout out to staff members Michelle and Katie who were the kindest of kind and so knowledgeable. They wielded nail guns like it was nothing. Having limited carpentry experience (zero, zilch, nada), I felt so proud of the skills I learned and gained during the workshop and super proud of my final product. I highly recommend trying this out. I think the best part about it is that no matter your skill set or lack thereof, these folks ensure you leave with a beautiful one of a kind piece that you can impress everyone with, especially yourself. Try it, you'll like it! I'm actually about to schedule my next visit. No joke.

What a super fun night! The space is adorable and inspiring. Our signs turned out awesome and even cute enough to hand in our houses. The staff is helpful and reassuring. If you are looking for a fun night out, I definitely recommend booking a class.

My sisters and I did a workshop at a vineyard for my birthday. It was so relaxing and fun! The owner led us through the process and we ended up with the cutest, personalized trays/pedestals. I would highly recommend doing this for a birthday, bachelorette party or just a fun day with family/friends.
