Went here last night for the first time. Had such a great experience! Staff were super helpful, so calming when you think you’ve made a mistake. They guide you through fixing things and making your project your own as you envision it. Such a great atmosphere and loved being able to look at all the finished pieces hanging up as a reference for color and style. Be sure to check out the restroom too where they have more beautiful finished pieces hanging!

It is an expanded artist's studio for groups or individuals on "public nights" to learn in a classroom environment how to stencil on wood various signs after staining and distressing the wood. Each participant picks the design in advance so the studio has the wood and stencils ready and at the class, picks out colors and chooses other details. The staff are there to instruct, oversee and help everyone. It was a fun first time visit with my group and I think I'll go back again.

This place is great. I’ve been here twice and made two beautiful signs. One was for my wedding and the other was a girls night with my wonderful friend. I love how helpful, patient and interactive they are with everyone - I just wish that it wasn’t so expensive.

This was a great experience! I planned my friends bachelorette party there. They were very accommodating with seating us together and helping us with our variety of projects. Everything was quite organized. The only thing I didn’t care for was the person in charge of running the demo seemed a bit annoyed or frustrated, and rushed through some parts of the demo. But honestly I had a great time and would go back anyway.

Questions & Answers

Are there any risks involved with your woodworking workshops?

Drills, hammers, mallets, nails, sand paper, paint and oil based stains are used during a workshop, so precautions need to be taken.  If you have a condition that will increase your likeliness of experiencing injuries or breathing issues, please ask us ahead of time if this is right for you. We also recommend you wear clothing that is not special to you. Stain, paint, saw dust and wax are always being passed around in a workshop environment, so choose wisely in your clothing selection!!
