AR Workshop Rockford is a boutique DIY studio offering hands-on classes where you can create custom, charming home décor from raw materials. The project choices feel limitless. They include custom wood, canvas and knit projects. We will help you take your home décor to the next level and have fun while creating it! So grab a friend, co-worker or even come solo and meet some new friends as our instructors guide you through making your perfect project. You can also think about bringing your next event here for a fun, one-of-a-kind experience. We love birthday parties for both kids and adults, bridal or baby showers and team building sessions.

AR Workshop Rockford is owned by Diann Panozzo. Diann brings with her 20 years of management in the hospitality and retail fields. She has always loved crafting especially during the holidays. Diann fell in love with AR after her first visit to AR Workshop Frisco for a Christmas in July class. Soon after, she even took a part-time job there so she could spend more time in her happy place. With help and support from Frisco’s owner Lindsay, along with Diann’s family and friends, she has realized her dream of owning her own AR Workshop.

Diann is excited to return to her hometown community to open the first AR Workshop in the state of Illinois! AR Workshop Rockford is proud to serve not only Rockford, Loves Park and Machesney Park but also the entire Stateline community including: Roscoe, Rockton, Belvedere, South Beloit and beyond. So stop by, say hello and see what we are all about. You’ll likely see Diann, her family and maybe even one of the shop dogs hard at work and ready to help make AR Workshop Rockford your happy place.
