SIP & PAINT AT OUR WOOD SIGN WORKSHOPS
At Board & Brush in Livermore, 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 Livermore Owner
Rachael Scott
Rachael is the go-to party planner for her siblings, so when planning a bridal shower event years ago, she stumbled upon Board & Brush and her life instantly changed! She used every reason and season to keep taking workshops. After bringing home her 15th project, her husband jokingly said, “Why don’t you work there?”. At the time, she had a 2-year-old and 8-month-old, plus a full-time career as an insurance agent, so it wasn’t in the cards. But she couldn’t stop thinking about it, and even convinced her sister to work there! A few months later, after being completely jealous of her sister’s job, she joined the crew and spent all her spare time working at the studio. It brought her a sense of calm and happiness and she met so many wonderful members in her community.
In December of 2022, she left her career to be at home with her son, Talen, and daughter, Wyn, but continued to work at Board & Brush part-time. When the opportunity to become the studio owner was presented, she quickly jumped at it! She couldn’t be happier to take a leap of faith and do something so fulfilling. With her supportive husband, Josh, and a large tribe of siblings and friends by her side, she is thrilled to start her journey as a studio owner and hopes to give everyone the wonderful experience she fell in love with.
