GET CRAFTY:
AR Workshop

AR Workshop will supply everything you need to create beautiful home decor items and all you have to do is show up, have fun, and follow their instructions! Each class is unique and gives you an opportunity to get creative, catch up with your friends, and enjoy some sips and hors d'oeuvres. You can customize your project with your choice of stains, colors and techniques and leave with your ready to display finished project. With 15+ project types to choose from including signs, chunky knit blankets, pillows, canvas bags and beyond, you will certainly find one that is right for you and your girl gang. Bonus? You can head to Stony Point Fashion Park early and do a little shopping before class.

CREATE A MEAL:
Mise en Place

And the best part? No one has to do dishes.

GET YOUR GALLERY ON:

HAVE A PICNIC:

With scenic views and an elevated view over the city, this is the perfect spot to spread out a blanket and have a picnic! Pack your own favs or bring take out. Nearby, you can pick up pizzas from 8 1/2, sandwiches and salads from Union Market, try Ethiopian at Nile, or BBQ from Alamo.

Keep the fun going…
