Conroe, TX (February 12, 2022) – Everyone can have pride in making an item themselves with a little guidance from AR Workshop of Cypress at the Montgomery County Home and Outdoor Living Show March 5-6 at the Lone Star Convention Center in Conroe.

“I never knew I could learn to make anything creative until I attended an AR Workshop in Raleigh, North Carolina, near our home,” said Rebecca Warriner, Owner of AR Workshop Cypress. “My friend persuaded me to take the class. I have never painted ANYTHING worth keeping. My friend was right. I had a blast! My family loved my project, I was proud of my project, and it still hangs with our family name on it and all the states we ever lived in at my shop at AR Workshop Cypress.”

Rebecca immediately took home the paperwork to request to be a franchise in June of 2018 after she took the class. She was so impressed with the quality of the services, the scope of the products, and the huge confidence she gained of completing a project she was proud to display. She didn’t tell her husband until after they took a couples’ class later that week. They moved to Cypress and in December 2018 she bought a saw, made signs, and started to move forward to open her own AR Workshop in the town her family now lived-Cypress, Texas.
AR Cypress opened in June 2019 and just celebrated their third anniversary for the Holidays. This summer they will have summer camps for kids and expect to have over 28 different camps serving over 300 youth. “Kids have such pride when they can create something themselves. They pick out their own colors, stains, and hardware to complete the project. It is an empowering way to build their self-confidence. The kids beam with pride.”

There are classes for kids, adults, DIY To- Go-Kits to make at home, and they offer projects custom made by request of individual businesses to give as gifts to clients. The most popular items are porch signs, Lazy Susan’s, and Chunky Knit Blankets. The first project is always the hardest and AR Workshop walks alongside each person to give them confidence they can complete the project by themselves.
“There is nothing like the pride you get when you finish a project.” Rebecca shared. “AR Workshop Cypress has something for everyone from a multi-talented artist to someone who has never been a do it your-self-er. We can inspire anyone as we walk through the process to make something amazing.”

Join AR Workshop Cypress for a Free DIY workshop to make an 18- inch canvas pillow cover both Saturday, March 5, and Sunday, March 6. There will be a variety of stencils and paint available to make something to match your décor in your home. During the class, the AR Workshop Cypress will teach participants DIY skills step-by-step as you paint your own pillow cover.

Times are Saturday, March 5 11:30am, 12:30pm, 1:30pm, 2:30pm and Sunday, March 6 noon, 12:45, 1:30pm, and 2:15pm. Learn more about AR Workshop Cypress at https://www.arworkshop.com/cypress
