Wow! What a wonderful space for creativity and community and just pure fun. With two hours of free parking in the local lots, families and friends and folks have plenty of time to enjoy one of the many workshop options - each guided by cheerful and patient and helpful staff. Looking for something interesting (and totally nifty) to do with your business? your scout group? your book club? your besties? with your personal free time? This is a great place to be... the prices for workshops are reasonable, with occasional sales and also group discounts. A wide range of artistic endeavors (I say that as a non-artistic person who still created something that looks pretty good!) are offered - so keep checking their website as new things are listed all the time. The space itself is well-organized, interesting to explore, and set up so several projects or groups can be happening around different tables at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon of painting wine glasses, with a bonus of tasting several local "Flygirl" wines before ordering a glass of my favorite pick. Thank you, Hammer and Stain (and Flygirl Winery) for a lovely afternoon. I will be back! (PS - they often offer "Open Studio" sessions - which are free! Folks can come in and explore and choose a project for a very low fee without pre-registration - just to enjoy the experience! I am sure if folks try it once, they will be back... have fun and no mess to clean up!) read more

Knowing that it was not really a class with an instructor and that the materials could run out so you might not be able to finish your piece. Total waste of money and time. read more

Hammer & Stain - This is as far as I could go. - Paint & Sip Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Interesting projects, Friendly patient staff. My 10 yr old really enjoyed it. Used different artistic techniques such as applique and glazing and painting a bag to carry all the projects home. Definitely a repeat for next summer. Location was ideal. Easy parking, quick drop in/ pick up. Definitely recommend. read more

Hammer & Stain - The plaque I made at Hammer & Stain! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Went into Hammer & Stain one recent Saturday morning with my 8 y.o. daughter, a good friend and her 6 y.o. daughter. (None of us had ever been, btw. We had originally planned this outing during the Christmas break, but sickness prompted a rescheduling.) Michelle was so sweet, very friendly, helpful....and patient!! You know how little kids can be...and several at a time, too, as there was another mother there with her two girls. Of course my daughter chose a piece with MANY tiny pieces, but Michelle was cool as a cucumber! Would definitely recommend for a fun outing with a bit-older kids or for a gals' night/special occasion. Thank you Michelle and all at H&S!! read more

My alumnae group decided to add this to our calendar. The process for registration was very easy. I just wanted the simple word, Serenity, which was not listed. I contacted the shop via email. I received a response from the owner, Robyn, very professional, pleasant, accommodating, and complete instruction of how to register. At the beginning of the event, they explained the steps in detail. All supplies were at all of the tables already. The only thing you need to get is your pick of paint/stain. There were plenty of room to work. There were 8 of us, and they were able to place all of us at the same table. You can bring snacks to share. They do sell beverages, water, and chips. Overall a wonderful. I am very happy with my sign. read more

Hammer and Stain hosted our office outing and we had a blast! Even the ladies who don't feel like they are artistically inclined had a great time. They accommodated us even though we were running late. Michelle went out of her way to make use feel taken care of! So grateful! We will definitely be back again for our next outing. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! I am so glad that it is in Rockville Town Square because it is a creative place to go, you can personalize your work, and you can take it home all in the same day!!! There are other creative places in the area but few that you can make and take your work home with you the same night. And Robin is a whirlwind of a woman - she gets so much done and she does it all herself (with the help of her husband who cuts all the wood) but inside operations are all her and she does a phenomenal job! She is super accommodating, super spunky, and super nice!!! I have been there quite a few times now and recommend it to others often! Plus she serves beer and wine, I mean, come on!!! If you're in the neighborhood or in need of personalized stuff.m or just want something fun to do...check out their Facebook page or website to find out what's going on! read more

The October born members in the chapter of my sorority picked a sisterhood activity at Hammer and Stain. The icing on the cake was that this is a Black Women Owned business. The customer service was superb. Prior to our arrival, they curated designs that we could pick from that catered to our sorority or we could pick from the designs they already had in the shop. We also were able to bring our own food. If you are looking for a place to host a birthday party or any group activity, this is a perfect option. read more

I cannot recommend Hammer & Stain enough for any occasion. Whether you're planning a birthday party, a night out, or just looking for a fun and creative activity, this is the place to be. Thank you, Hammer & Stain, for making my daughter's 5th birthday truly memorable! We will definitely be back. read more

Robyn is the best! I wanted to come in and just make a simple sign, all by myself. I messaged her what I wanted it to say and we worked out the details via email. If you have an idea - odds are Robyn can help you accomplish it. The first time I came in on a weeknight. Everything was ready for me to go for it. The staff gave me directions and then pointed out if I need a refresher they were also on the wall. I sat with another group - since it was mid week and had a blast with them. I love my sign - and it is truly the motto of my kitchen "If I stirred it, it's homemade!" I came back a second time with my mom and had a blast. Again I had worked with Robin to create a special project for me - creating a unique sign for our game room. Seriously Robyn and her team are the best... Cannot wait for my next visit read more

Hammer & Stain - A custom sign I made at Hammer & Stain - Rockville - Paint & Sip Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Hammer & Stain is a unique DIY art studio that offers crafting workshops to individuals and groups. Michelle and her team hosted a fundraising event for the non-profit where I volunteer, making it a great success. They did a phenomenal job promoting the event on their website, social media, and other social media platforms, boosting turnout by offering multiple projects and making registration easy. The in-studio experience was excellent. We found our projects set out on a long table along with crafting supplies, including paint brushes and sponges. The event's host explained how to design our art, showed us the studio's various paints and stains, and provided help with humor and a smile. Because Hammer & Stain has hot air drying tools, we were able to leave the studio with our finished projects. I will return to Hammer & Stain, whether in a small or large group or on my own. It is a wonderful place to make art and have fun. read more

Hammer & Stain-Create your own wooden keepsake. I visited first time(12/11/18). Our Office came to celebrate the holiday season with a DIY event. This storefront business in Rockville Town Center offers guests a true DIY workshop experience. Turn bare wood into your own work of art. See before/after photos. Mine & a co-worker. What did we do: Our office Reserved space for a private party. We selected our object to create online prior to visit. Upon arrival our bare wooden objects were laid out on long tables along w/art supplies. Owner Robin offers an overview of the project. And provides step by step-personal instruction. Guests may select from numerous options: a tray w/handles (my selection), lazy susan, sleigh, a circle or square shape. Next select stain/paint color from over 30 shades. Then begin to create. Have Fun (I did)! My tray took about 90 minutes to create. The space is well lit & spacious. Beer/Wine available for purchase. Owner Robin was professional & absolutely engaged w/our having a wonderful DIY experience. read more

My daughter and I love this place!!! We've had birthday parties there and the staff is super creative and friendly. The summer camps are some of the best I've seen in the area and so affordable. Kids come home every day with beautiful pieces of art work. The studio is clean and filled with every art supply you would need. There is also a great deal of flexibility, the children can choose what they want to work on. If you haven't had a session there, you are truly missing out!!! read more

What a super fun birthday party location. Everyone preorders a sign and the you can paint and stencil it in. Can add a child's name to the plaque/sign. Super clean and very kid friendly. Would recommend for kids 6/7 and up. read more

Today we had the most wonderful experience at Hammer and Stain in Rockville. My daughter had her 10th birthday party there. Robyn, the owner, did an absolutely wonderful job working with the girls on their pillow project which was the project my daughter chose to do with her friends. You can also choose a circular or square (I think) wooden personalized plaque. For the pillow, each girl was able to select a design and personalize it with their initial or name if they wanted to. All designs needed to be selected by the party participants 3 days ahead of time so that the stencils could be prepped and ready for the party. Today Robyn patiently instructed the girls in how to apply the stencil to the pillow fabric and select paints (including glitter paint!) for the project. Each girl left with their own pillow and we were all so impressed with everything. While we did book a private party, there is open studio time. We plan on returning ASAP for an adult DIY project night! read more
