Board and Brush Creative Studio

303 N. 4th Street; Suite C , St. Charles, IL 60174

Specialty Stores

Woodworking techniques combined with the latest trends and custom graphics is what created the DIY Board & Brush Creative Studio concept.

At Board & Brush Creative Studio in St. Charles, their goal is to turn you into a “DIY master” by educating you to understand and appreciate the beauty of raw materials—the wood, the knots, the color variations and the simple imperfections that will make your project unique. Distressing, sanding with the grain, and staining are a few of the important steps we will guide you through to make your personalized wood sign look as though it has been with you for years, like a vintage heirloom.

Never used a hammer, sandpaper, or a power tool? Never added picture hangers to a home décor sign to hang on your wall?  Never waxed wood to protect it from the elements and make it glisten in the light? Don’t worry! They will teach you all of these skills.  Experience not needed, just bring your creativity and personality! We will provide the education, materials and fun!
