    They always end with a group picture which is fun for festive events.
    Lisa L.

    My small posse of girlfriends is addicted. This Sunday we return for the fifth visit to this make-it-and-take-it venue housed in a quirky old building that used to be a bank. The atmosphere is festive with fun music playing in the background and happy chatter from table to table. Bottled water and canned sodas are available for free. Beer and wine are served for a small charge, making things even... festiver. The staff is very helpful and concerned that you leave with a piece of art that you're happy with. They have a wide selection of stains and paints and let you "do your own thing" but can also step in to help you achieve a certain look, if you want the assistance. And if you've made a mistake, they have a dozen ways to help you fix it. Multiple examples of each (of over 100) sign styles are hung on the walls, found on their website, or on their Facebook page for those who need ideas and inspiration. There are techniques to achieving certain finishes... but all in all, the process is very simple. No one should be intimidated. Pretty much anyone can make a sign they'd be proud of. Board and Brush gets my vote for: - Best date night value - Best GNO venue - Best idea for a bachelorette party But, I guess the most credible compliment is what I told you up front... we're returning for our FIFTH visit this weekend. Go. Enjoy.

    This is a pretty fun place where you can make your very own artwork on wood! Stain, paint, and create a cool personalized decorative sign.

    Board and Brush is the ultimate DIY workshop and the best part is they have all the tools and they clean up the mess. They have two large areas to work on your chosen project with large tables. I love that when you sign up they ask who you want to sit with so then as your friends sign up you will be at the same table. I have down two classes and had a blast both times. The first time I went alone, but it was fun getting to know people at my table while we all worked on our wood project. The second time I went with a group of friends and had an even better time. Board and Brush has so many projects to pick from on the website. It took forever to decide what to make. I will definitely being going back to do more as I have several favorites still yet to make. They have everything you need and help you every step of the way. I liked the hands on of this class as you actually get to nail your boards together and even put the hanger on! First you stain your wood, then you tape your wording, and paint over it with your choice of colors. I liked looking at all the projects in the building to help with my color choices. They have a board to see the different shades and the paint swabs with it. It really helps you see how your project will look. The class always has a teacher and then helpers who go around and help and they have been fabulous both times! I love they help. I love both my projects and can't wait to go back!

You will find options to eat right before or after and also shop so it's a good plan to spend a few hours there. Neeha our instructor was great and we enjoyed trying our hand at making a bunch of flowers in a vase. They also have a small bar where you can get some drinks, soda and water. A birthday party was happening simultaneously in a room within which was pretty cool. I love places that offer something for everyone. Do check it out!

They seemed to be running around like they were understaffed, but I am not sure. Our class was scheduled to start at 7:30, but it didn't get started until right after 8pm. I'm all for giving people a few extra minutes to come in and get settled, but 30 plus minutes is a bit much for a scheduled class. We were rushed the entire time and had 30 minutes less to complete our paintings. Overall I enjoyed myself because I like painting, but I'm not sure I would go back if the experience would end up being similar. I sat next to a drunk couple and did not get to finish my painting fully. The drunk couple sucked, but I understand we can't control how others act when drinking, but we can definitely control when the class starts and being set up better.

There were tons of paint colors and supplies to choose from, and the staff was super encouraging and helpful if you needed ideas or guidance. I went with a cartoon-style design on mine, with a sketch outline, bold details, and a hand-drawn look. I LOVE how they turned out. They look like wearable art! My friend went in a totally different direction, which made it even more fun seeing how unique each pair became. It's such a cool concept for a girls' night, date night, birthday, or just something different to do. You walk out with something you actually get to wear and show off. Highly recommend if you're looking for a creative experience that's both fun and memorable!

We all really enjoyed the experience and were so pleased with the help and advice we received from their instructors. I was really appreciative of the way they really stepped in to help my 2 children as they needed, allowing me to keep on working away in my own art project. They have some examples to help give you ideas and believe them when they tell you that they can help you draw items onto your shoes for you to paint. It felt like they are dedicated to helping people carry out the vision they have for their project.

    I personally love wine and paint sessions so I was looking forward to this one with family. We…read morestarted 15 mins late and got done 15 mins before time so technically we booked a 2-5pm slot and were done in 2.5 hours. The instructor was good but fast so it was hard to follow every step since she would race through her instructions. This mainly could also be due to the nature of painting we selected since it had alot of measurements and customized colors. But still, someone from the crowd literally asked the instructor to slow down so we could all catch up. It is great for folks who sit up front and do not look at the tv monitor like the back seaters have to use. The color in the tv monitor is way off (beauty of colors and not a technical issue) which can result in a disastrous painting (like my dad's). All in all we had a good time making fun of each other, drinking some wine and trying to follow our instructor as much as we could to get our canvas painted. Satisfied with the experience but the instructors could use some feedback to help everyone paint frame worthy paintings

It was a nice social activity that also allowed moments of quiet to focus on your piece. I find this dynamic kind of nice because I'm not one to talk endlessly even when I'm with my friends. They have tons of pieces to choose from, ranging in price and size, so you can make this activity as much as you want to get out of it. There's no studio fee, so glazes and kiln services are included with your price. They have just about all the colors of glaze, which have a display on the wall by the glaze bottles. The staff are all very friendly, Brooke and Fernando were especially attentive to us throughout the evening. They made sure to help keep our workspace tidy and helped with some glazing and artistic touches. Importantly, we never felt rushed with the process, which helped us feel like we could make something we're proud of. They also have some glass fusing stuff as well, so you can make some kinds of mosaic glass lamp shades (or at least that's what was shown throughout the space). I'm curious how that's priced, because that would be another cool outing! Pottery pieces take about a week to be fired in the kiln, so I don't have my masterpiece back yet. I'm very excited to receive it! They also provide shipping, so if you're a little further away, you can still get your piece. I'm sure I'll be back again before too long!

I'd run into an issue but I called the studio, and the woman who answered was super friendly. Karlee, the instructor, was very patient and welcoming.

The studio is very beautiful with all past paintings on the wall. I was also impressed by the size of the studio.

At some point I guess we ran short of time because the instructor sped up severely. None of the painters were anywhere near the stage that she was talking about. She kept saying don't worry I'll repeat it. Well the repeating was a quick listing of all the things we should be doing, with no chance of actually doing those... like reading a grocery list very quickly. And the urgency that we need to take a group picture now and we could finish our paintings after taking the picture. This gave us about 3 minutes as they were taking our paints and brushes... basically kicking us out the door... that really left a bad taste and ruined the whole night. I understand that the employees would like to go home, but can we maybe have a steady pace instead of waiting for the next step in the beginning and then sprint at the end.
