If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on experience that goes beyond the typical arts-and-crafts class, Board & Brush Oak Creek is the perfect destination. This local DIY studio offers an immersive workshop where creativity and craftsmanship come together, giving guests the chance to design and build their own custom wood signs from start to finish.

Unlike traditional painting classes, Board & Brush takes you through the entire process of creating a piece that feels truly personal. Guests begin with the basic materials and learn how to sand, stain, stencil, and paint their chosen design from beginning to end.

“People are often surprised when they walk in and realize it’s not just painting; it’s the full process,” said Rachel Proeber, who has managed the Oak Creek location since its opening in 2017 and became the studio’s owner in 2021. “We start with raw wood and walk you through every step. It’s a fun, social experience where you leave with something beautiful.”

From rustic farmhouse signs to personalized statement pieces, Board & Brush offers endless possibilities with over 1,000 customizable designs to make your desired project truly one-of-a-kind.

Board & Brush workshops are designed with all skill levels in mind, making them ideal for anyone looking to try something new. The studio’s most popular offering, Pick Your Project Workshops, allows guests to choose from hundreds of designs and customize their piece with to their liking. There are also the occasional family-friendly sessions and toddler craft times, which offer that creativity is accessible for all ages.

If you’re planning a girls’ night out, a team-building event, or simply want to create something special for your home, Board & Brush Oak Creek provides a creative DIY experience that’s as rewarding as it is fun.
