Have you seen the new Armature Works in Tampa? Wow, it’s absolutely incredible! I recently had the pleasure of working there for Aubrey’s bat mitzvah as part of the Airbrush Events team. We were hired to customize bucket hats and trucker caps for the guests, and let me tell you—they were a massive hit.
Bucket hats have become a popular swag item at events. Guests love them, and they’re fun for both guys and girls. However, they do present a challenge for airbrushing because of their soft and flexible material. To handle this, I had to improvise with my setup to keep the hats flat and steady while painting.
The temporary solution worked well, but I plan to develop a permanent fix soon. That way, we can officially add bucket hats to the list of items we offer for customization at events.
Seeing guests light up when they receive their custom swag is always my favorite part of the job. At Aubrey’s bat mitzvah, it was so rewarding to see everyone dancing, mingling, and showing off their personalized hats. The joy and excitement they had while wearing their new items are what makes our work so special.
If you’re searching for an event venue in Tampa, let me highly recommend Armature Works. This place is top-notch. When I was there, multiple events were happening at the same time, yet the venue still felt spacious and well-organized.
The building is absolutely stunning, with a blend of historic charm and modern design. Located along the Hillsborough River, it offers plenty of beautiful spots for photos. There are also ample seating areas inside and out, making it comfortable for guests to relax. And the food? It’s absolutely delicious—your guests will rave about it.
Armature Works has an interesting backstory. Originally built in 1910 to store Tampa Electric Streetcars, the building was eventually abandoned when automobiles replaced the streetcar system. Later, it was repurposed for machine manufacturing.
Today, you can still see glimpses of its original purpose. Exposed brick walls, sliding doors, and skylights all reflect its history. The restoration team did an incredible job blending these historical elements with modern updates, making it a truly unique event space.
