About AR Workshop Virginia Beach

AR Workshop offers a hands-on DIY Workshop experience, where you can create wood signs, canvas pillows, wall hangings, framed signs, wood boxes, lazy susans and more!

AR Workshop Virginia Beach is locally owned by Holly Herndon. Holly is originally from North Carolina, but has been living in Virginia Beach for the past few years. Holly has a love of anything coastal and DIY. When she is not involved in a DIY project, you can often find her on the water with her husband, Brad and their daughter Paige. Holly loves being around others and is often considered the “life of the party.” She has a degree in social work and has worked as a nanny for many years.

Holly is ready to put her social skills and love of projects to work by bringing you a place to gather, build and have fun! Opening AR Workshop Virginia Beach and putting her passions together has been a dream come true for her. Holly is proud to bring this DIY boutique studio to Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area!
