View our calendar above to find a date and time that works best for you and your friends and family (the more, the merrier!).

3. GET YOUR DIY ON!
At your paint and sip workshop, you’ll turn raw wood into a finished project fit for your home!

Meet Board & Brush Big Bear Lake Owners
Lexi Amrhein & Zack Gatlin
Zack and Lexi both grew up in the Big Bear Valley and have a deep love for their hometown. After graduating high school, Lexi completed her undergraduate degree at Cal State Northridge and later went on to finish graduate school at University of San Francisco. Zack completed an apprenticeship program with the carpenters union and went on to lead several large-scale construction projects throughout California. After leaving Big Bear to pursue college and career opportunities, Zack and Lexi found themselves missing the small-town lifestyle and eventually moved home to settle down. It wasn't long before they started looking for new ways to connect with their community and meet new people! With Zack's background in carpentry and Lexi's education and creativity, Board & Brush is a perfect fit!
Zack and Lexi enjoy hiking, kayaking, and camping with their two dogs Ellie and Hank, and volunteering with local nonprofits.
