SIP & PAINT AT OUR WOOD SIGN WORKSHOPS
At Board & Brush in Conway, 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 wood sign 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 Conway Owners
Diana & Rich Van Allen
Diana, born and raised in Iowa, moved to Arkansas in 2016. Diana’s creativity started in college where she initially majored in Floral Design; however, she ended up with a degree in Business Accounting and spent the last 25 years of them in the car business. Diana has never lost her love for design and has been an avid DIY’er doing many projects inspired from several sources. When she first visited Board & Brush here in Arkansas, she absolutely fell in love with the studio and the experience of making her own projects. After several visits the owner asked if she wanted to lead classes, so when the opportunity to purchase a studio came up for discussion it was an easy decision. Diana is looking forward to providing customers with a similar experience! Rich, also from the Midwest (Nebraska and Iowa), works in the technology field and also enjoys DIY projects such as a home remodel and helping Diana on several occasions with her honey-do lists. Rich and Diana have been married over 30 years and have two grown children and a young grandson along with a few pets! When they have free time, you will likely find them in the Corvette exploring Arkansas.
