SIP & PAINT AT OUR WOOD SIGN WORKSHOPS
At Board & Brush in Norman, 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 Norman Owner
Michelle Bates
Michelle has always enjoyed getting her hands in the middle of a project. Creativity has always been part of her world and has brought her great happiness. She has been painting murals professionally since her kids were small and it allowed her to stay home with her kids when they were young. As they got older, she entered the workforce as an Early Childhood educator. She began a program at her church and later started working in public education. She opened a Board & Brush because she loves getting groups of people together and creating a creative social atmosphere. She enjoys having families, friends and children come into the studio and encouraging them to put down their electronics for three hours while they spend time together creating.
She enjoys hanging out and traveling with her husband, Marc and their kids Zoie and Camden. They love to travel in their RV and take long road trips to see the country. Their favorite so far is Colorado with Yellowstone coming in a close second.
