Small Business Highlight – AR Workshop

AR Workshop, Greenville, SC

AR Workshop is unique hands-on do-it-yourself experience. What started as an online Etsy shop has transformed to a business with over 100 franchise locations. One of those franchises is right here in our very own community!

How it Started

Carin Burns and her husband Jamie have always loved DIY. She said it seems they always have multiple projects going on in their home. Carin was a stay at home mom for 17 years. During this time, she dabbled in painting furniture, making and painting frames, sign making and anything else DIY. After seeing the AR Workshop franchise profiled in another city, she jumped at the chance to bring it to Greenville. This location opened March 3, 2018!

Carin and Jamie wanted a fun place in the community where people could relax, hang-out, and make a beautiful piece of home décor from raw wood materials. Oh, and they are BYOB! So, you can enjoy your favorite adult beverage while you create your art. You can also bring in small snacks or appetizers.

What Can You Create?

AR Workshop provides a unique experience. When you come to a class, almost everyone is working on a different project. You can make a lazy susan, while your friend beside you is creating a porch sign. Almost all designs can be personalized and all materials are provided for you. See a design you like but want it on a different medium? Just ask-they may be able to accommodate your request.
They offer many different classes, including seasonal projects. Customers can choose from an array of projects, including centerpiece wood boxes, framed or unframed wood signs, trays, canvas projects and more! Depending on what you are making, you may learn to use a nail gun or a drill.

The best part of attending an AR Workshop class-you go home with a beautiful piece of home décor completely designed by YOU! At AR Workshop, you make all the creative decisions! They have many paint options and proudly offer soy-based non-toxic stains as well.

How it Works

AR Workshop is a fun experience for everyone, whether it’s a Girls’ Night Out, Date Night, Corporate Team Building, birthday party, bachelorette party, or monthly neighborhood gathering. Visit their website for all the details and to book your event now! Don’t have a group or a reason? Don’t worry! You can sign up on your own too! They also offer youth workshops.

Why Greenville?

Carin has lived in Greenville since Graduating from Clemson in 1994. She and her family absolutely love this community and the support it offers to small businesses.
