We had such a great experience at AR Workshop! Laurie was absolutely wonderful with my boys- She helped my 10-year-old make the coziest blanket, and guided my 7-year-old through creating a few wooden signs. It was a great way to spend the afternoon in this 100 degree weather. read more

Nice arts and crafts studio. Plus for selling snacks! Check out their website to see their calendar of classes.

I was hesitant about doing this because the stuff on the website was kinda tacky. But it turned out so much curt than I expected. It was fun mother daughter activity and the guy working with us was so helpful in selecting colors. I highly recommend it. read more

My wife brought 5 friends to a class to make charcuterie boards to use for serving food. Each of them paid $59. The franchise owner did not have any sealant for the boards- food safe or otherwise - and had no idea where to get any. This made the boards unusable for serving food. She has never returned any phone calls. This was a waste of time and money. Messages to the company headquarters have also gone unanswered. Unacceptable! read more

This place is amazing! Came with a friend to a session where we made wood signs for our homes. the instructors were so patient and the restaurant a few doors up came by with to go menus (Global). We spent 2 hours talking and making these custom signs which I totally put up in my house. Can't wait to come back with all my friends to do pillows, frames and many more projects. read more

Now that I've discovered AR Workshop, I'm saying goodbye to all of those terrible "paint your own" pictures sitting in the back of my closet that I'm too embarrassed to hang on the wall. Seriously, if you're into the "paint your own", you have to go to this place! Instead of canvas pictures, they have planks, boards and pillows you can paint on that are really nice. First off, the place is super cute. You pick the picture you want to do, pay for it online, and when you show up, they have your boards and templates ready for you. Be prepared to get to work, because you're doing all of the sanding and painting! You get an apron and the paint is water-based, so don't worry if you accidentally get it in yourself. During the class, there is an employee assigned to your table to help you. Ours was great and was helpful in giving us some color recommendations. She also walked around, making sure that we were doing each step right. The results were fantastic. I painted the Charlotte Skyline and I can't wait to hang it in my place! I was there for a birthday, so they sat us all at the same table (make sure you request this if you sign up with multiple people, so you can each pay for your projects, but sit together). There was also a group of women at another table, and a few couples down at the end. You can bring your own snacks and drinks, which I highly recommend. If you live in the center of Charlotte, this place is definitely worth the drive! read more

We have an amazing time every time we come here. I have several pieces I've made and love in my home. Perfect for a GNO/MNO or any birthday party or event. I'm always amazed at what I'm able to create under their guidance! Fun environment and welcoming helpful staff. read more

AR Workshop - Art Classes Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

My co-worker and I came here as a fun outing. When I walked in the shop, I was instantly in my happy place. The shop is so cute. It's decked out with the different types of crafts you can make and they're for purchase too. They also have fun accessories like jewelry and wine tumblers for sale. In addition to the plank board I made, I also purchased some very inexpensive earrings. The class had two instructors and they were so patient and helpful. They guided you every step of the way. If you made a mistake, they corrected for you. Poor Kat had to fix the letters on my plank. If you're going to sign up for a workshop it really does take a long time. I arrived at 9am and left at 12:30pm. Between the sanding, priming and painting, you can easily spend 3 hours. But I loved every minute of it. At the end of your class, they give a stamp card. You collect so many stamps for attending classes that you can earn a free class. I'm looking forward to attending another class in the future. read more
