Where do I begin to write this review for Burnt Glassworks? Would it be the variety of items you…read morecan make? Or would it be the phenomenal customer support from Zach and Andy? Or would it be the multiple collections of colors you can select from? Or finally would it be for the items you can buy in their mini showroom? This is the first time I had ever done something like this at the suggestion of my cousin who had also never done it before after reading reviews. She said this is what we're doing. I have to say this was probably one of the funnest events I have done in years! Being able to create something of beauty and not having talent doesn't matter because of the instructions received from Andy. Speaking of Andy, I have to say he is a phenomenal teacher! He explains things in great detail yet in such a way that he is not talking over you or above you but rather with you. He explains by example and by words. He was very patient through the process understanding had never done something like this, and allowed me to express creativity along the way. When it came to the end, describing what the opening of the boss would look like he gave me various options. I cannot commend Andy enough for his outstanding skill at working with others! Now let's talk about Zach who worked the desk and also assisted Andy. He greeted us with a smile, was very friendly and explained to us what the process was going to be. With a fantastic sense of humor and a willingness to be customer centered Zach truly made a difference today as he was the first one we worked with and the last one. From beginning to end my cousin and I had the most fantastic service! If you're looking for something fun to do, supporting a local artist, and building something with your hands, I cannot suggest coming to burnt glassworks enough !!!

I went to make a glass blow snowman. My friend chose it as has birthday activity. I've never done…read moreglass blowing before and I'm not good at any type of visual art. However, the staff here is amazing and they were so pleasant and helpful! Each person goes one at a time, for safety, and they talk you through each step of the peace as and are hand one with you through each step. It was so fun and my snowman looks amazing . You were able to pick any 2 colors from a great variety of colors and patterns - one for the body of the snowman and one for the hat. They even had already made examples so you could see some that were traditional (white snow body and red hat) and some that used different color pairs. The 4 of us were done within 45 minutes or so - each taking just over 10 minutes to make. They also have a showroom of already made items in display. I will definitely be back.

All the way 5 stars from me!! So much fun! You get to be…read morecreative, get dirty and really get in the craftin mood and you leave with something that looks so good you will be proud to hang it in your house!! What!?!!! You come in and pick a piece of wood you want, pick a design from ones already cut or they can custom make you a design ( but you have to register for all that online before you come in) then you get to work picking your stain or colors you want to paint with, and how ever you want to make your piece....sure the employees are there to help and give pointers but for the most part your set free to craft away how ever you want! They also have glitter for that extra sparkle ( heart eyes!) Tons of fun, being creative, and finished product turns out beautiful! Love it!

This was my first time ever visiting Board & Brush! I went with a group of 7 women to celebrate a…read morebirthday! We had so much fun! We each have said we can't wait to do it again! The studio set everything up for our chosen projects (soooo many choices!) prior to our arrival and we set up everything for the birthday girl's celebration! There was plenty of space for each of us to spread out and still be comfortable while creating our masterpieces. The staff was so patient & extremely helpful to those of us who aren't very 'crafty!' They ensured all of our creations turned out perfect (or perfectly imperfect/one of a kind!) I would highly recommend Board & Brush for any group activity, team building activity, or even couples date night! It would definitely make for a fun time and an original creation!

This place is ADORABLE! My dad came in to town the other weekend to celebrate my birthday and he…read moreloves to tinker with wood. So when I came across this place I thought it would be perfect for him! It was my husband, my 76 year old father, and me. We each picked VERY different projects. We were place at a table with another group of two. The person that was assigned to our table to help us was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and patient with us while we were all overwhelmed with the endless options. I love how customizable everything is, wow. And it's nice because if you start picking weird things/colors then your table assistant will let you know. We all had a blast and even my dad learned some new techniques to bring home to his wood working. We all love our projects and I'm definitely ready to go back! 10/10 would recommend!

As a beginner you are not just going to start painting "a" flower, you will be given weekly homework that teaches you how to build paintings from SHAPES and mixing colors.
