Most adult projects average $70 and youth projects average $40. Contact us for specific pricing.

We provide all of the materials, tools, and instruction. Choose your project type (wood or canvas) and your design from our Project Portfolio. Customize your project at the workshop with our designer paints and our line of non-toxic wood stains (no fumes!).

Come sip and create…we offer complimentary wine or beer during your workshop (limit 2 glasses wine or 1 beer per registered guest) and bring-your-own snacks/apps/non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy if you wish!

Most workshops last from 2-3 hours, depending on the project. Youth parties include a 2 hour workshop time-slot. View our How It Works page for more information! If reserving a table or a private party, we will email you a link for your event that you can send out to your guests to register.

Once you reserve your private workshop date and time, you will receive a customized party link for the hostess to send out to the guests via email with instructions on registering.

About AR Workshop Richmond

AR Workshop® is a boutique DIY studio that offers hands-on classes for creating custom, charming home decor from raw materials. Join an instructor-led workshop where you can make custom wood plank signs, framed signs, canvas pillows, round signs, lazy susans, centerpiece boxes, canvas tote bags, and more! AR Workshop® will help you take your home decor to the next level and have fun while creating it!

AR Workshop Richmond is owned by Rebecca Keeling Gagnon, with loving support (and lots of wood cutting) behind the scenes from her handy hubby Gregg Martin and their son, Kade. Being the owner of a DIY workshop seemed like a natural fit for Rebecca, as she is the daughter of a teacher and a wooden boat builder. Rebecca grew up in a tiny, tight-knit waterfront community in Suffolk, Virginia…spending long childhood days playing amidst the sawdust and antique tools in her Dad’s shop. It was there that her love for all things weathered, vintage and storied was surely born!

AR Workshop Richmond is convenient to the surrounding areas of West End, Short Pump, Glen Allen, Midlothian and Chesterfield. Located in the beautiful (and pet friendly!) Stony Point Fashion Park where you’ll find plenty of safe parking, delicious restaurants and on-trend shops…the perfect location for a day/evening out on the town! Find us near CineBistro, Dillards and Gnome & Raven!
