Lower your expectations, and this can be a fun evening. On…read morethe night our group of four was scheduled, it was clear that they were overbooked. People were waiting outside before the doors opened, and most rushed in and grabbed seats like it was some kind of weird game of musical chairs. Those of us who waited in the queue were told that we wouldn't be able to sit together; ultimately, we ended up in the overflow room, which had advantages and disadvantages. The complimentary/unlimited wine is Franzia: white and red. They were out of white, and the red was, in a word: undrinkable. True story: there were 7 of us in that overflow room, and NONE of us could finish a glass.) Also, the glasses were not exactly sparkling clean, but I guess they were clean enough for the quality of the wine. Also, "unlimited" means "until we run out." (TAKE YOUR OWN WINE.) Good things about the overflow room: - Not nearly as loud or crowded as the main room - We could hear one another - Proximity to the bathroom Lousy things about the overflow room: - Instructor forgot about us/didn't give much instruction at all. We couldn't see any demonstrations. -We were working at coffee tables that were very slippery (clearly not designed for creating great works of art), and our easels collapsed/slid right off the tables numerous times. Hilarious, but not practical. We had a Groupon, and we enjoyed being together, so it was a fun night, but, truth be told, now I have a crappy piece of "art" that I wouldn't hang in my garage and a bad taste in my mouth from the box wine my college-aged son wouldn't serve his drunk friends. The staff was friendly enough, but not overly concerned with customers...which seems weird. I would gladly have spent twice as much to have better beverages and food and the company of my friends at a restaurant or bar, skipping the painting because, let's face it, I'm no artist, and the paintings are, IMHO, awful...almost as bad as the complimentary wine. We had an enjoyable evening because we were with fun people. Would I do this again at this establishment? Probably not. God forbid we end up stuffed into the main room with the loud music and too many people and "unlimited" bad wine.

I should preface this by saying I am probably the most uncrafty person out there. I still can only…read moremanage to draw stick figures at 32 years old. So when my coworkers planned a private party event at Board and Brush, the thought initially made me cringe. Board and Brush is a DIY workshop that teaches you how to make custom wood signs that you can use for décor pieces around your home. At $68 a project, I was hoping I wasn't going to be just wasting my money on a terrible looking piece of "art". I was SO wrong! This place was an absolute blast and I could not have had more fun. Our private party consisted of 16 people. The facility is BYOB and BYO snacks/food, which was awesome. They had tables set up for our food/drinks, to keep it out of the way while we worked. Weeks before our scheduled date, we picked our projects online and paid. There were SO many options, it was overwhelming! They all looked so cute too - it was hard to pick just one. They have everything from clocks to front porch welcome signs, entryway signs, trays, and height rulers for children. I settled on a 3 piece framed set for our home office. We were able to pay online as well, which was nice to not have to worry about the day of. Tawni is the store manager at this location. She is absolutely wonderful! She explained everything so clearly, and made our evening so much fun. There were also 2 other ladies with Tawni helping her throughout the night. Having 3 people walking around to help was really wonderful. At times, I think we all had questions, and there was always someone readily available to help. The shorthand version of what happens at Board and Brush is this: once you arrive and settle in, your "projects" are brought out to you (which at this point is just a blank piece of wood). You are in charge of sanding the wood, distressing the wood, staining the wood, applying your stencil, and finally painting. It sounds overwhelming, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Like I said, everything was explained so well and it is all done in steps. The entire experience from start to finish took 3 hours, and at the end I was left with an adorable piece of decor that I will be proud to hang in my my house! I cannot wait to book another reservation with my friends to do this again! I highly recommend checking out Board and Brush!

Remember that paint and sip fad that swept the nation a few years ago? This is like that but way…read morecooler. Instead of a painting that inevitably finds its way into the trash, you are left with a cool piece of art on wood that looks like it took way more skill than I possess to make. This store is located right on Fruitville Pike in Lancaster near the shoppes at belmont. When you register for the class you pick one of many designs they have to choose from. They have lots of really cool projects like clocks, monograms, holiday decor, etc. Every step of the project making process from sanding, screwing, staining, stenciling, and painting is facilitated by a lovely and knowledgeable staff member. Tawni helped our table and she certainly had her work cut out for her but she was fabulous and very helpful! Oh, and lest I forget, sipping is encouraged to facilitate the creative process as well. Imagine going to a bar with your friends but you get bring a custom wood sign home instead of giving the bar all your money with nothing to show for it! You are afforded a fun day out and a lovely piece of artwork to show for it. Board and Brush Lancaster was a blast and I will definitely be back!

I did a glass fusion class here with my wife, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it…read more We got a groupon for it, and went not being sure of what to expect. We've never worked with glass before, but the staff explained the decorative options well and had plenty of materials and tools available. The staff was always helpful and very friendly, and did a great job supervising the class and helping out when needed. We paid the extra $10 each to 'slump' our flat glass discs into bowl shape after they are melted. I would have liked a slightly curved plate option but that wasn't available. This requires a second run through the kiln, so the price is understandable. Sadly, it may take up to 4 weeks for the plates to finish the fusing process, although we saw some finished examples that looked gorgeous. I had one minor complaint, and that's only because I'm being nit-picky: the staff was hard to find sometimes during the class. There were plenty of staff members there, I just kept forgetting who they were since they didn't have nametags or aprons or anything to identify them.

I enjoyed the small class as it felt more personable and by the end all of us were chit chatting and having a great time. Our instructor Kim was very helpful and fun.

I can't wait to go back for another Sip n' Paint event or a glass fusion class! Kim said she wanted to try doing a jewelry making class which I would definitely attend!
