About

What if……you didn’t have to be a skilled carpenter, painter, or a Pinterest DIY master crafter to create a personal, customized, one-of-a-kind wooden sign?

What if you could create a memorable piece of home decor that would look great and impress your friends without having to spend a small fortune at Home Depot buying all the wood, paint, brushes, sand paper, and stains that you’ll only use once to create a one-time project?

And what if you could co-create your masterpiece while hanging out with your family and friends in a fun, and lively atmosphere complete with BYOB and 80s music?

Well now you CAN with The Rustic Brush open workshops! Bring your own snacks & drinks, cozy up with friends, and create a personal masterpiece! Children can also create their own youth project masterpiece!


What to Bring

  • Your own snacks or food for the workshop
  • We welcome bringing drinks as well. BYOB
