Welcome to AR Workshop Ankeny! We offer hands-on DIY craft classes, art classes, and woodworking workshops perfect for all ages and skill levels. Create custom wood signs, paintings, jewelry, and more in our creative studio. Whether you're looking for a unique girls night out, memorable date night, engaging team building activity, fun family experience, or summer camp for kids, we have the perfect workshop for you. Our instructor-led classes guide you step-by-step as you craft something special to take home. No experience necessary – just bring your creativity!

AR Workshop Ankeny is owned by Tara Tomlinson, who is passionate about creating a welcoming space where guests can gather, try something new, and make meaningful memories through hands-on experiences. When she’s not at the workshop, Tara enjoys traveling, hosting gatherings, and spending time with her husband Mike and their children.

We are excited to bring creative DIY experiences to Des Moines, Ankeny, Ames, Johnston, and surrounding communities, as well as Iowa City, Quad Cities, and Cedar Falls/Waterloo. Whether you're searching for craft classes near you in Ankeny or planning a creative party, we'd love to help you make something beautiful. Join us for a public workshop, book a private event, or sign up for summer camp—let’s create together!
