    What a fun experience! You or someone you've known has done…read morethe "paint night" thing...well, this is way better and my new favorite crafting place! I signed up a friend and I for a class at Board & Brush. There is a calendar of events and for open project nights you can pick from any of the selections on their website to craft. Each project is priced differently depending on what you choose to do, and after seeing the quality of the pieces I think well worth the cost. Upon arrival, we had aprons and supplies waiting for us. You're encouraged to bring your own snacks and drinks. The staff was super helpful explaining the process for each piece you worked on and came around to help and keep things moving. The stencil part was a little hard but they were there to help and make sure your project came out as expected. There was a wide variety of stains you could choose from for your project and on the walls examples of every color. It was a really fun night and activity. Can't wait to come back and get started on the next one!

    I can't say enough about how great of an experience our group had painting our projects!…read more The space is beautiful, clean, and well organized. The staff is super trained...everything moves like clockwork. Mistakes are easily corrected. Advice is constructively given. And all of our projects came out so cute!! I can't wait to go back! I especially appreciated the staff...they were so positive and helpful. I wish I could single each of them out because nearly every one of them helped us in some way! This is perfect for a ladies night or a birthday celebration. While the pace is fast - there is still time for snacks and drinks!! So fun!!

    I was looking for an activity to do on Friday, observed Veteran's Day. School was closed, and the…read moreveteran in our home was off of work. I randomly thought of Brushes & Beans. We called around noon, and they made us a 2:30pm reservation. We arrived a bit early so my husband and I could order coffees, and we bought a baked good for my children (ages 4 and 6). I think some might be caught off guard by the macchiato at this cafe, but they are true to Italian size and style (says the prior northern Italy resident). My husband ordered a double and had them add the bourbon caramel flavoring to it (not true to Italian style - ha!). He said he really liked it, and I enjoyed teasing him with a little "pinkies up!" call out when taking his photo. I ordered a decaf Americano (boring, I know) and also enjoyed it. Our children split a chocolate chip scone. There were a variety of muffins to choose from, croissants, and gluten-free items as well. Soon, it was time for our painting reservation. I have to say, everyone we interacted with was patient, helpful, and kind. They each seem to enjoy their job. They came around the tables often to ask if we need anything, and would bring additional paint or offer help and advice when needed. There is a nice variety of ceramics to choose from for painting as well. All in all, we very much enjoyed our visit and would certainly go back again! I was thinking it could be a fun outing for a Girl Scout troop or any kind of club or organization. You could go and paint ornaments, which are affordable and easy to do. I may have to pass that idea past our Girl Scout troop's leader. :)

    The coffee was expertly prepared as we enjoyed our toddler niece painting her ceramic project…read more Great fun for her and admirable assistance from the attentive staff. The fruits of child preparedness artwork will be fired and ready for us to collect in 2 weeks!

After washing your hands, smell their fragrance wall to find about 10 of your favorite scents! After, select the candle jar (different sizes are different prices), and since there were 3 of us, we got to take advantage of the buy 3 get 1 free deal! The scent expert will help you decide which scents would go best in your candle (up to 3), you will decide how much of each essential oil gets put into your wax so you truly decide on how heavy/light each scent is! Candles take about 2hrs to set or you can pick up the next day. Every aspect of this experience is customizable, down to the label! Great for large parties, kids, and as an activity to explore Lawrenceville as well.

As the organizer of the event for my birthday, I arrived ten minutes early (with 3 others) to be respectful of our reservation (not realizing they didn't open yet). Staff was inside and the door was open. It was pouring rain so we came inside. A staff member told us we had to wait outside. I said "I am Alaina and have the reservation for 11am. Do we have to wait in the rain?" And they said yes. I was flabbergasted. This is Lawrenceville so you can't simply walk back to your car in the parking lot and wait. A much better response from a business who specialize in customer experience is "welcome! We're happy to have you celebrate your birthday with us. We open in 10 minutes so we're not quite ready for you yet, however, you're more than welcome to wait over *whatever place most appropriate* or if you want to brave the rain there is a coffee shop a few stores down if you want to grab a coffee first" That would have been the appropriate response. Not. We're not open. Wait outside. (Do I have to wait in the rain?) Yes. That being said, Alexis was very friendly, and she assisted our group. I'd suggest the business not scheduling reservations before 11:15am.

There's an option to paint or choose some sturdier pottery to do pour glazing on. They also do wheel throwing courses! For painting, we chose a mug and a small planter. The prices are listed on the bottom of each item and it comes with all the supplies, paint, and final firing. There is not table fee here like at other places. The staff is incredible. They remember you by name when you come in and are so helpful with picking out ideas, sharing techniques, and getting colors for you to use. If you don't finish your item the first time, you can come back and finish a 2nd time at no cost! ($10 if you come back after that on the same item.) We came just us the first time, and the 2nd time we came back with our son. It is a very different experience with kids vs adults, but either way is fun!

    4.5 stars. Songbird Artistry is a local, family-owned business that sells merchandise that is made…read moreby over 50 local artisans as well as art classes. The merchandise includes jewelry (e.g., necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and pins), apparel (e.g., gloves, hats, t-shirts, onesies, and bibs), bath products (e.g., soaps, beard balm, aftershave, and shower steamers), foods (e.g., olive oil, vinegar, seasonings, and dog and cat treats), stationery (e.g., stickers, greeting cards, and magnets), and home decor (e.g., candles, coasters, prints, and knick-knacks). I bought one pierogi magnet for five dollars. This magnet sticks well to my refrigerator in my kitchen, and it looks cute.

Their jewelry is locally hand made and goes anywhere from traditional to whimsical motifs including Harry Potter, Disney, Hamilton the musical, mosaics, and even dried flowers! Their booth only carries a limited selection of what's in the store where they have partnered with local food vendors such as Olive and Marlowe, as well as other Pittsburgh vendors to sell you almost anything. You can find stickers, clothing, caps, coasters, keychains, soap, candles and so much more! I was able to chat with Jenny who is one of the owners of the business who told me that they offer various craft classes in the store as well as unique themed parties such as Harry Potter for kids. If attending a class is not your bag because of the pandemic then on occasion you can purchase a craft kit in store and arrange for a Zoom class on a particular day to make your craft. They are very flexible when is comes to meeting people exactly where they are. You can find most anything on their website. Have something in particular in mind? Just contact them and they will accommodate your every need. During my visit I picked up two pairs of earrings with surgical steel backs. Jenny gave me some rubber stoppers with my purchases to insure they won't get lost. I purchased a pretty teardrop stud earring set and the Hamilton inspired earrings. I'm all set to enjoy one of my favorite Broadway musicals-"Hamilton." I also learned they do "Wicked the musical" jewelry if you are fond of that show. It's a great place to buy local made arts and crafts showcasing Pittsburgh. Although they are based in Lawrenceville across from Children's hospital, you may run into this business at various events with the last one I saw them at was VegFest. They were also at Picklesburg. Jenny told me that If I ever make to the shop itself the cheapest parking is at Children's Hospital across the street for $3.00. Not a bad deal if you are looking for parking in the area. Will be looking forward to visiting their store this fall to check out their other offerings.
