Our workshops are for all skill levels! Register to come by yourself, with a group, or book a private party! To reserve the entire workshop for your private party, we require a $100 non-refundable rental fee. AR Workshop San Marcos has a private party minimum of 15 people from Sunday-Wednesday, and a 20 person minimum from Thursday-Saturday.

Most of our adult projects range from $40-$70 and our youth projects range from $40-$45. View our workshop schedule 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!).

Check out our calendar for available public workshops, or contact us to book a private event! The workshop is available 7 days a week for private parties, with exception of scheduled classes as shown on our calendar.

You are welcome to bring in wine, small snacks or appetizers to enjoy at your private events!

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.

AR Workshop San Marcos is owned by Pam Zeman. She has always been interested in owning her own business! She moved to San Marcos from the east coast in 2005. Her biggest supporters are her family - Mat, Elsie and Jayce, who frequently help her behind the scenes! Pam's background is in business and retail management. She loved planning her kids birthday parties when they were young and remodeling her house while being a stay-at-home mom. She knew that AR Workshop was the right fit for her because she can use her love for creating and party planning to use! Pam is thrilled to bring something new and fun to the San Marcos area!
