The last year came with a lot of thinking, planning, strategizing, and re-strategizing to find some path toward normal. For many of us, that path has been long and stressful. The latter is why AR Workshop is such an inspiring novelty and perfect escape for adults and children. I will be the first to say I am able to think better and work more efficiently after allowing my creativity to flow.

 

AR Workshop is the manifestation of Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff’s dream to provide DIY workshops for home decor and other creative skills to the public. AR Workshop began in 2010 with Anders Ruff, a graphic design, party styling, DIY blog, and online shop. Anders Ruff quickly transitioned from a popular Etsy shop specializing in printable party goods to a branded e-commerce store and blog, Ruff Draft. After six years of awesome DIY designs, AR Workshop was born out of the idea for an inspiring and charming boutique workshop.
