Welcome to AR Workshop Brandon, a boutique DIY craft studio offering hands-on craft classes, art classes, woodworking workshops, and interactive creative experiences for ages 5 and up. Our creative studio features instructor-led workshops and a walk-in Craft Bar where guests can enjoy candle making, chunky-knit projects, wood and canvas projects, painting, jewelry making, and other custom home decor crafts. Whether you are planning a girls night out, date night, team building event, birthday party, family outing, or private party, we have a creative experience designed just for you. No experience is necessary. Just bring your creativity and we will guide you step-by-step as you create something unique to take home.

AR Workshop Brandon is co-owned by husband and wife team John and Rachael, both retired Army veterans with a shared passion for crafting, woodworking, and hands-on creativity. They are proud to offer a welcoming DIY studio where guests can unplug, relax, and enjoy creative time together. From custom candle pouring and chunky-knit workshops to seasonal decor and personalized gifts, AR Workshop Brandon is a go-to destination for creative experiences in the Brandon area. We also offer a Youth Summer Art Camp program for kids ages 5–17, featuring engaging, hands-on art projects designed to inspire creativity, confidence, and fun in a supportive studio environment.

John and Rachael proudly serve Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Seffner, Lithia, FishHawk, Bloomingdale, Apollo Beach, and the greater Tampa Bay area. Whether you are searching for craft classes near you, candle making, a walk-in Craft Bar, or a unique private event venue, we would love to help you create something beautiful. Join us for a workshop or book a private party and let’s create together!
