I've been to a few other workshop locations, so comparing to other services offered, I was disappointed at this location. First, nobody ever picks up the phone and you're not able to leave a voicemail for some reason. So, I text the number that was left and someone responds back to me after the workshop that I booked. Not helpful. However, at the workshop, we had a few projects booked. One of the projects was a box.

(I unfortunately do not have a picture of my project but I will post...
Read moreI had the BEST time celebrating my 30th birthday at AR Workshop Newtown! From the moment I walked in and met Erica, I knew it was going to be a special day. The staff were amazing - friendly, professional, welcoming, and so helpful. Special shout out to Megan! Erica, the owner truly went above and beyond to make everything easy, stress-free, and perfect!
My guests have been calling me all weekend to rave about how much fun they had creating their own candles and trays! I can’t thank Erica and her team enough for making my birthday so memorable. If you’re thinking about having an event here for your birthday, shower, creating wedding signs, or anything else - do it, you will not be...
