Board & Brush
Welcome to the Chico
DIY Wood Sign & Wood Project Workshop!
Are you looking for a night out with friends? Is your inner DIY itching for a fun new project without having to buy all your own supplies and make a mess at your house? Then BOOK A WORKSHOP for the ultimate paint and sip experience at Board & Brush Creative Studio in Chico.
Chico, CA is a rural but progressive college town that’s home to Chico State University. Known as "The City of Trees", Chico offers Bidwell Park, which is in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and not to be confused with Sierra Nevada Brewing company, the local brewery! There are many places to hike, swim, golf, and mountain bike throughout Chico and Bidwell Park. Chico is the perfect place to be if you love the outdoors, as it’s just two hours from Snow skiing and three and a half hours from the ocean!
Board & Brush Chico is a licensed establishment.
Beer and wine are available for purchase in the studio.
Please note, BYOB is not permitted; no one under 21 is allowed in the studio at any time.

SIP & PAINT AT OUR WOOD SIGN WORKSHOPS
At Board & Brush in Chico, we marry the joy of wine and paint with the classic timelessness of wooden signs. Our instructor-led DIY wood sign workshops allow you to combine your creativity and willingness to learn new skills. We provide you with the instruction, materials and design for you to distress, sand, stain, paint, and customize your personalized piece of art!
HOW IT WORKS
1. REGISTER FOR A WORKSHOP
View our calendar above to find a date and time that works best for you and your friends and family (the more, the merrier!). You can also look for a workshop that features the type of project you’d like to create, like a PYP or specialty project. Then, you’ll browse our gallery of hundreds of designs to choose which one you’d like to create in your upcoming workshop!
2. ARRIVE EARLY!
Our workshops start on time, so you’ll want to arrive early to get settled! You can start thinking about the endless creative possibilities ahead, take photos with friends, and enjoy your favorite beverage (some studios are BYOB, while others sell alcohol, please check with your local studio about their policies).
3. GET YOUR DIY ON!
At your paint and sip workshop, you’ll turn raw wood into a finished project fit for your home! You’ll be guided by our expert instructors throughout each step in the workshop - sanding, distressing, staining, painting your stencil, and waxing! You choose all your colors in person at the workshop! Our workshops are typically about 3 hours long.
4. DISPLAY YOUR NEW DÉCOR
When you leave our workshops, you’ll leave with a wood project that you’ll be proud to display in your home! We mean it when we say that no experience is necessary - our instructors are there to help turn you into a DIY expert. Now that your beautiful farmhouse-inspired project is complete, you’ll take it home to find the perfect spot to display it!

Meet Board & Brush Chico Owner
Laura Nasca
Laura had been in the veterinary field as an RVT and a practice manager for 26 years when she decided she wanted to do something different. After attending just three Board & Brush workshops, Laura was hooked! She half-jokingly told the previous owner that if she ever wanted to sell to please give her a call…well, Laura got the call! She knew it would be a great fit, as she’s definitely a people person who loves to create!
Laura has been married to her best friend, Don, for 27 years. They moved to Chico over a decade ago and love the community. They have 3 adult children, 3 grandchildren, and 4 dogs. One of which, you will see at the studio daily, Alice. She’s a super friendly little Frenchie who loves to ride her skateboard!
