About Board and Brush Creative Studio Franchise
Our DIY wood sign workshops started as a “Girl’s Night Out” with wine and crafts in our founder’s basement and quickly turned into a business idea. What started out as one studio in Wisconsin has now grown to 264 locations across the U.S.—and we are adding new studios every month!
OUR VISION AND MISSION
At Board & Brush Creative Studio, our goal is to turn you into a “DIY master” by educating you to understand and appreciate the beauty of raw materials—the wood, the knots, the color variations, and the simple imperfections that will make your project unique. Distressing, sanding with the grain, and staining are a few of the important steps we will guide you through to make your personalized wood sign look as though it has been with you for years—like a vintage heirloom.
Hone your own passion for décor & DIY projects; we hand you the tools & direction, you create friendships and crafts.
DIY WOOD SIGN WORKSHOPS
Welcome to Board & Brush Creative Studio! We are your place to build on-trend, farmhouse-classic, inspirational pieces of décor for your home, office or cottage.
Our studios offer a vintage, timeless look with accents of black and weathered wood to help cultivate your inner DIY design skills. And each hands-on wood sign workshop teaches you the techniques needed to create a custom piece that looks professionally made.
