About AR Workshop Torrance
Register for a DIY workshop to create on-trend home decor from raw materials – wood signs, canvas pillows, wood framed signs, bottle openers and more!  Enjoy a girls night out, date night, team building event, private party or birthday party at AR Workshop Torrance!

AR Workshop Torrance is owned by Cristina McKinnon, a career public servant with 27+ years of service.  Cristina is originally from Chicago, Il, and always found great satisfaction in crafting, including cross-stitching, quilting, tole painting, paper and digital scrapbooking. Her career has taken her to San Francisco, Washington DC and finally, Los Angeles.  After attending a workshop at AR Workshop Chandler (AZ), Cristina knew she found her post-retirement career!  She is so excited to bring this wonderful experience to the South Bay area of Los Angeles and enjoys seeing all the friendly faces coming in to make their beautiful and unique creations.

Cristina and her husband believe in giving back to the community with charitable work and volunteerism, and find great enjoyment chauffeuring their 12-year old daughter around town.

AR Workshop Torrance is located in South Torrance at the Village Shopping Center at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Vista Montana (Starbucks, Walgreens, TNT Aloha Cafe).  We welcome guests from all over the Los Angeles-South Bay, which includes the cities of Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Palos Verdes Peninsula and beyond!

The best way to contact us is to send a detailed email message to TORRANCE@ARWORKSHOP.COM and we will respond as soon as possible.  You can also call us at (310) 893-7553 and leave a message including your email address in case we cannot respond due to class being in session.  And as always, you can drop in to speak to someone in person during any of our class times.  Check our website for our current schedule since our store hours vary each week.  If none of these options work for you, please email us at TORRANCE@ARWORKSHOP.COM for an appointment.
