My Honest Experience at AR Workshop® Ankeny
I love creating and being crafty. The things I don’t love? Sourcing all the supplies I need to create something as well as finding the time in my schedule to actually start and finish a project. And let’s not even get started with clean-up. Clean-up is the worst!
At AR Workshop® Ankeny they take care of all of it! They have all the supplies, the space for creating, and they’ll clean up your mess at the end.
One of the biggest benefits is having someone from AR Workshop® holding your hand through every step, helping you make decisions about paint colors, demonstrating how to use the power tools, and talking you off the ledge when you think you’ve screwed up your project (they’re good at calming down your inner perfectionist and helping smooth out any imperfections).
Needless to say, I can’t say enough good things about my AR Workshop® Ankeny experience. My mom and I are going back together, and I recommend it to all my friends for the perfect night out!
