Meet Jennifer Holden – Owner of AR Workshop Tampa

AR Workshop Tampa is a boutique DIY studio in South Tampa where creativity and community collide. Guests can join instructor-led classes to design and craft custom home décor pieces — from wood plank and framed signs to canvas pillows, lazy susans, tote bags, centerpiece boxes, and more. Every workshop is hands-on, fun, and designed to help you take your décor to the next level while making lasting memories. ✨

In 2022, Jennifer Holden became the proud owner of AR Workshop Tampa. A Florida State University graduate with a degree in Elementary Education, Jennifer built her career as a teacher before moving to Tampa with her husband, Wes, in 2005. Together they’re raising three children — Aiden, Charley, and Parker.

Jennifer first walked into AR Workshop Tampa in 2018 as a guest, instantly drawn to the positive energy and creative atmosphere. It quickly became her “happy place,” a space to laugh with friends, tap into her artistic side, and leave with something beautiful she made by hand. When the chance came to lead the studio, Jennifer knew it was meant to be.

Today, she welcomes guests from South Tampa and beyond — Carrollwood, Wesley Chapel, Odessa, Town ’N’ Country, Lutz, Temple Terrace, Tarpon Springs, Land O’ Lakes, and more — inviting them to experience the same joy she first felt. Whether you’re making a sign for your home or memories with friends, Jennifer and her team can’t wait to guide you through your next masterpiece. 🎨
