Your Top Board & Brush Questions… Answered!
If you’ve ever scrolled through your local Board & Brush studio’s calendar and thought, “This looks fun… but can I actually make something like that?”, – you’re not alone! Trying something new can feel a little intimidating, especially when it comes to DIY or creative projects.
But here’s the good news: Board & Brush workshops are designed to be welcoming, guided, and totally approachable for everyone – no matter your experience level, artistic background, or comfort with power tools. Whether you’re joining us for a girls’ night out, a cozy seasonal workshop, or a family-friendly creative afternoon, we’re here to make sure you feel confident, supported, and excited about creating something beautiful for your home!
Let’s break down some of your most-asked questions…

“Do I need DIY experience to attend a workshop?”
Not at all! When you walk into your local studio, our friendly instructors will guide you through every step, from sanding and staining to painting and stenciling. You’ll learn hands-on techniques in a relaxed, encouraging environment… and who knows, you might even surprise yourself with how natural it feels! We love seeing first-timers light up when their DIY projects start coming together.
“I’m not an artist. Will my project actually turn out?”
YES! One of the biggest things that sets Board & Brush apart from typical sip & paint experiences is our stencil-based process. Our goal is simple: for you to leave with a finished project you’re proud to display in your home (or give as a meaningful handmade gift!).
“Can I customize the colors to match my décor?”
Absolutely! At every workshop, you’ll have access to all of our stain options, plus our extensive “Paint Bar”. You can tailor your project to your personal style – neutral and classic, bright and bold, or warm seasonal tones…you decide! No two projects ever look exactly the same, and that’s part of the DIY magic.
“Can my friends and I sit together?”
Of course! You’ll be able to indicate who you’d like to sit by during the registration process. Whether it’s girls’ night, book club, date night, a bachelorette/bridal event, corporate event, or a birthday celebration, crafting is always better when you’re sharing laughs and memories side-by-side.
“Can I create a custom design?”
While we don’t offer custom designs, we do have thousands of DIY projects available in our gallery! We’re confident you’ll find something you love that fits your style, space, and personality. From seasonal and holiday décor to everyday favorites, trays to porch signs, modern to vintage styles, there’s truly something for everyone.
“Is this a good option for a night out?”
1000%! Board & Brush offers the perfect combination of creativity, relaxation, and social connection. We pride ourselves on being a place for people to come together, get inspired, and forget the stresses of life and work. Many customers tell us their sip & paint workshop ended up being the highlight of their week!
