<p>Rutherford, home of the Rutherford High School Bulldogs, is a beautiful, suburban, tree lined community only minutes from busting New York City.

Folks navigate to this family oriented town for its easy commute, fabulous schools, great night life, and fun street fairs.</p>

SIP & PAINT AT OUR WOOD SIGN WORKSHOPS
At Board & Brush in Rutherford, we marry the joy of wine and paint with the classic timelessness of wooden signs.

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 Rutherford Owner
Robin Hering
Robin loves creating and building. From gutting and remodeling her turn of the century home in Kentucky, to refinishing furniture, landscaping, and quilting, Robin learned there is no project too large or daunting to take on. When she stumbled across Board & Brush one day on Facebook, she knew she had found her newest adventure. Over the years Robin’s career path took many twists and turns. While living in her home state of Kentucky she owned and operated a successful technology consulting company. After that she became a stay at home mom to her 3 children. When she and her husband, Justin, moved to the northeast she had to reinvent herself again and went on to build to a very successful marketing career in the New York City Technology sector with such companies as Avaya & Hewlett Packard Enterprise. While Robin’s career revolved around high tech she always used her spare time as an outlet for her creative interests. When the opportunity presented itself for Robin to be her own boss again she jumped, opening a studio in her hometown, Ramsey, NJ and now a second studio in Rutherford, NJ. In a time where it can be so difficult to bring people from varies generations together, Board & Brush creates a creative multi-generational experience that resonates with every age and cultural background by marrying individual creativity with a unique customer event. She loves watching folks walk into her studio laughing and excited about their upcoming workshop and then seeing them leave equally excited about their beautiful creations. For her it’s all about reuniting friends & family so they can enjoy the hands-on experience of creating something together.
