Summer fun is still available at Olympia’s make-and-take art mecca, Board & Brush. It’s a place that lets everyone become a skilled crafter. Perhaps you are running low on ideas for engaging activities for you and your family. The Board & Brush art studio would love to have you come in and pick from over 600 projects for home décor, farm style signs, doormats, glass etchings, porch planters and whimsical housewares. All projects are designed to be completed with ease and creativity.

“I love doing the classic wood projects, and I like functional projects,” says Erika Gulliford, manager. You will be impressed by the wide variety of items you can make and decorate. The best part is that Board & Brush has all the materials you’ll need with all the instructions you may want along the way. It doesn’t matter if this is your introduction to crafting or you are already a skilled artist.

Board & Brush has gone to all the trouble of stocking the studio with paints and stains of all imaginable colors. You can get your hands on tools to distress your wood, add ribbons, ropes, stencils, and other essential accessories like glitter. You might want to receive step by step instruction or simply be free to hone your existing skills.

Your children and their friends could spend a morning or afternoon together involved in unique projects. Maybe you want to get in on a Bingo Night. Believe it or not, Board & Brush is already making plans for seasonal events for Halloween and Christmas. Make personalized gifts before being overwhelmed by the rush of the holidays!

Birthday Parties and Special Events in Olympia

“We love hosting birthday parties, baby showers and bachelorette parties,” says Erika. Board & Brush has been working diligently to make your personal events memorable. Are you in charge of planning a bridal party or anniversary celebration? Board & Brush has projects for all ages with styles to suit many tastes. Everyone is not required to select the same project. “Everyone can pick whatever project they want, unless everyone wants to do the same thing,” explains Erika. The event can be tailored to your time needs so that you could choose mini projects for limited time or larger ones when appropriate.

Maybe you are thinking about an upcoming birthday party or offering a change of pace for your book club. Isn’t it a fabulous idea to simply reserve a space and let Board & Brush do the heavy lifting, like project supplies and clean up? Board & Brush events can include wine, cider or beer. You bring your own food, snacks and sweets that work best for your group. And, of course, the cake.
