My work team booked a private workshop at Board & Brush and it was a fun outing for all of us. You…read moreselect your project ahead of time from an enormous catalog of options, and when you arrive your stencils and wood are precut and ready to go. Several workers walked us through the process over the three hour session, which including distressing, sanding, and staining the wood before applying our stencils and painting the design. At the end you're able to wax the sign to seal it and apply any hardware such as hooks to hang it at home. The cost of the workshop includes all materials, including gloves and aprons to keep you clean, as well as either two glasses of wine or one 16oz beer per person. Overall it was incredibly simple and anyone can do it. It's more methodical and perhaps less creative than typical paint and sip classes where you freehand paint on a canvas, but the advantage is that everyone goes home with a finished product that is pretty much guaranteed to look great. I recommend this as a group activity if you're in the Fredericksburg area.

Paint the Town completely dropped the ball. I spent weeks confirming headcount, party details,…read morepayments, and logistics with them. Then, on the morning of my daughter's party (scheduled for 11:30 AM), the instructor sent a vague text at 6:45 AM saying they wouldn't be able to make it and then never responded to any of my follow-ups. To make matters worse, I couldn't reach anyone at the company. I called, texted, and emailed multiple times trying to see if they could send a backup instructor or at least switch to a virtual format. Nothing. No support, no communication...just silence. Finally, I heard back from someone on Monday, asking if I wanted to reschedule. Because apparently, that's how birthday parties work? This company clearly doesn't understand the basics of customer service or event planning. I regret ever trusting them with something so important. I would not recommend Paint the Town -- look for a more reliable company that actually puts their customers first.

They are wonderfully inclusive, welcoming everyone as they are without any sign of bias. My artist was Frankie and do not let the word apprentice scare you, as she is a fantastic artist and did a great job of making my tattoo perfectly the way I wanted it. Tricia was still there close by to guide her, but I see Frankie as becoming a long-term part of the team beyond her apprenticeship. Don't hesitate to reach out to them about your needs, and be patient with the waiting time as it is worth it! And don't be surprised if they have an opening come up sooner that someone failed to show up for and perhaps you can grab that. Here's an image of my tattoo for all the sea.

The place had great ambiance from the exposed brick walls to the hanging lights, the space was to die for. We were a little skeptical because none of us are artists, but this experience wound up being amazing. We had a great teacher who was super helpful. The class has a two drink maximum included in the purchase price, which was perfect, however I think you can by bottles on site. The whole experience was excellent and our paintings turned out pretty well compared to what we anticipated. If you are local and you are looking for some entertainment on the weekend, give this place a try!

You can do parties here for kids if that's how you want to celebrate your child's big day. The private room next to us was doing just that. And they all looked like they had a blast! You do not need to bring anything but yourself. The food, paint, brushes, and the canvas are all provided to you!
