One of the girls behind the counter went upstairs and saved us a table and prepared it with what we would need. They have a lot of different pottery pieces to choose from and a bunch of different paints to use. It took us about two hours to complete our pieces and about a week for them to be ready for pickup. A fun note to add is that you can order a drink while you paint-water, sodas, and hard seltzers. We had a great time and plan to go back in the future!

My mom and I went to Corks & Colors and ended up painting mugs. We thought we'd be there for an…read morehour, but it easily turned into three because we were so relaxed and having such a good time. They have a great variety of pieces to choose from, and the whole environment feels cozy and creative. The only thing I'd mention is that the music kept shifting from loud to soft, which was a little distracting. If you're sensitive to sound, sitting outside might be a better option next time (the outdoor seating was full when we went). Overall, we loved it and will definitely be back. It's such a peaceful way to spend an afternoon.

My wife and I had a wonderful time doing the splatter room! Highly recommend this place.read more

I did the splatter room here and had such a great time. The staff were super friendly and…read moreexplained the whole process really well, which made it easy to just relax and have fun. The space was clean and organized, and I appreciated that they had everything ready to go when I arrived. They give you protective gear (which you definitely need!) and you "gear up" before walking in by wearing a mesh suit, hair net and cover your shoes too but you can take them off and just slide on their "socks" they give you . Once you're in there, it's just a blast--literally throwing paint on the canvas, the walls, and maybe a little on yourself too. It's messy in the best way, and weirdly therapeutic. You can also use their Alexa to play music of your choice and make it a fun vibe and have your own mini party. I really liked that you get to take home your canvas afterward, it's such a cool keepsake. You wait 24 hours to come back and once it is fully dry you can take it home. It's not something I'd do all the time, but for a creative, out-of-the-box experience, it's totally worth it. Highly recommend if you're looking for something playful and a little different to do in Gainesville. I love that they have so many options such as acrylic projects, string projects, painted glasses and other DYI experiences. You can set an appointment and come in at your reserved a lot. I'll 100% be coming back and already want to try one of their other DIY experiences!

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!

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!

What a great time we had! Mom and I had been planning a trip to Do Art for years. Finally we made…read moreit and we had a great time. This is a great place for artists at any level. My mom is a whiz at drawing and painting and I'm below a novice. Two year olds draw better than I do. There was a lot of pre-made ceramics to choose from; which was a lot of fun to browse through before settling on the right piece. The staff were really helpful. They explained different techniques - 3 coats of paint will give you a more solid color, don't paint light over dark - to help us get started. Our table was well grounded, not wobbly. This is important when you are painting delicate fine lines on your piece. The paint brushes were well used which could make it hard to paint the more delicate things. Lots of paint colors and ceramic pieces to choose from. The pricewas $9 lab fee that includes the cost of paint, firing, brushes, pencils and other goodies. Then you purchase ceramic you are painting. Prices for ceramic pieces cover a wide range. My small candy dish with lid cost $11.50 and mom's vase/paint brush holder was $10. But we had unlimited use of the studio and paints. We had our own table. 5 stars for the studio, very clean and people friendly. 5 stars for variety and price. 4 stars for staff. The more mature staff were always available and walking the floor to make sure everybody was helped and having a good time. At the staff change a younger group of staff came in. While friendly it was a bit harder to figure out who was staff and who wasn't when we checked out. I ended up approaching a nice college aged woman to ask her if she worked there. Her purse was on one of the tables and she was totally engrossed in painting a piece. She did work there and we were able to check out. Our pieces will be ready in a week. 3 stars for not having a better system for tracking ready to pick up items, items that have been fired and ready to go home. No labeling system. Just walk in and say I'm picking up a tea cup and the staff says is this it and you say yea or nay. They might have a pefrect system but I did worry about not getting my mom's vase returned. We will see on Friday. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I had a great time hanging out with my mom and watching her work her amazing artistic magic on that vase.

I love Do Art. I have been coming here since I was a little girl in elementary school (I am now in…read moremy third year of college). The old place was really cool because in the summer they had camps where you could make all your pieces and work on the potters wheels. It was a really good outlet for all of my creative energy, and it still is. I came here tonight with one of my girlfriends, and we had a really nice time just being mellow and painting. The ceramics to choose from was a bit lacking-they did not have what I was looking for, but I settled for a medium size box and a large square serving platter. Unlike their old place, they have a ton of paints and I didn't have to fight with people to get the color I wanted (this actually used to be a huge pain because you'd have to go around to every table to see who had the bottle of paint you were looking for), but now they have three bottles of every color available which is great. The studio is clean and I definitely give them props for their music choice- all the songs reminded me of my middle school days listening to Simple Plan and Bowling for Soup; it was almost nostalgic. The only complaint I really have is that the staff is not very friendly. When I first walked in, an older lady sitting at a table peered at me over her glasses and asked what I needed. My friend walked in after me and had a similar experience. That old lady needs to go or change her attitude. The other woman who came in later was super nice, however. All in all, it was a fun experience and I will be back. I hope next time that there will be more choices of ceramics to pick from!
