Catt and John Pulli are the proud owners of AR Workshop Mechanicsville! Their ownership story is a fun one! It began several months ago when Catt’s 30th birthday was looming over her asking her what kind of creative mark she was going to leave on this world. Catt was an art major at Liberty University and has been a professional photographer since she was 19. Catt really enjoyed her job, but she felt like she definitely needed to do something more to give back to her community. When she looked into owning her own workshop, a feeling of “this is exactly what I’m meant to do,” came over her, and she hasn’t looked back. John, the ever patient husband to her high energy, jumped right in and handles the business side of things.

So why Mechanicsville? According to Catt and John, Mechanicsville needed some love. People were always stating that, “we never get anything out here.” There is nowhere else they even considered. Their dream is to partner with as many local vendors, fundraisers, and crafters as they can so that they can continue to spread the wealth and help out their local community. Catt says, “I really want this to be a place that people love to be. I want you to come in and feel like you are among your people. It’s going to be cozy, it’s going to be warm, and most of all, it’s going to be FUN!”
