Not only will attendees at the Des Moines Holiday Boutique have the opportunity to shop among hundreds of unique exhibitors, but they can also put their hands to work at the “Make It Take It” workshop!

AR Workshop® Ankeny, locally-owned by ambitious DIY’ers Jeff and Laura Reed, is a boutique DIY studio that offers hands-on classes for creating custom, charming home décor from raw materials. Laura’s love for crafting and DIY combined with Jeff’s construction knowledge and desire to one day own a business made AR Workshop a perfect fit for them. They offer instructor-led workshops where you can make anything from custom wood plans signs and canvas pillows to centerpiece boxes and canvas tote bags!
