We came here for our oncology nursing holiday party. It was great to use the creative side of our brains and sit around and talk while we worked on our projects. I am excited to come back with friends to do this again. Highly recommend.

Always so much fun! It’s great to get out of my head and focus on having fun, while using my hands! Steve and Vivian, the owners, always ensure everyone is so well taken care of! What I leave too is that you can be creative or use one of the many wonderful ideas from the samples on the walls. And the end product always looks great!

I reviewed this place before but felt the need to review it again. If this location seems far from you let me say it's worth the drive! I took my cousin this past time and just like me she loved it! It's honestly fun, therapeutic and just a fabulous place. I am the least crafty person around and every time Steve is so patient with me. Book a workshop and you will be hooked too!

I came in with a large group for a fun class to make any sign/box/tray we wanted! It was a great way to get our group together and have some fun. Board and Brush was so organized and had their system DOWN! We all had designated work spaces, instructions and supplies ready to go. Aprons went on and we got to work! Sanding, staining and painting galore. I made a really cute wood box for my dogs toys. I sanded and stained the entire box inside and out which made it quite the arm and shoulder workout. The boxes take the longest with sanding and staining than other choices. However, its less painting than the other options so it balances out. His name and a silhouette of his breed is stenciled and painted on making it so personal and cute! I had a lot of fun here and hope to go again sometime!

Board and Brush is a DIY wood sign workshop chain and recently our company had a teambuilding event here. Board and Brush Torrance recently moved their studio from the office building near Torrance Refining Company to a brick & mortar location in Old Town Torrance. [Prices]: All of public workshops are listed on their website calendar in advance. Prices for each workshop varies from $25 (DIY holiday ornament workshop), $45 (DIY Doormat Workshop $45), $73 + $5 (DIY wood sign workshop), or $185 (kid's camp workshop) so you will need to check specific workshop listings for details.[Parking]: Old Town Torrance has plenty of free public parking so just circle around the area to find a spot to park.[Workshop]: Our session was originally booked for 2.5 hours, but the actual session ended up 3.5 hours and everyone did finish their wood signs with partial assistance from the staff. Our instructor was pretty good and instructions were relevantly easy to follow. Activities include using sandpaper to smooth out the edges, distressing the wood sign, choosing one of ten stain colors (dark walnut, classic gray, ebony, early American, Jacobean, weathered oak, Sedona red, white drybrush, white wash, and chippy paint) for wood, aligning the custom stencils, removing adhesive so the stencils stick onto the wood, adding stain colors for letters/designs, and trimming spillover color using razors. At the end I asked one of the staff and he was able to give the final touch-up. Finally leave the wood sign in a well ventilated area for the first 48 hours in order to dry the stain. The staff will also add hangers on the back if you need to hang your signs (just ask at the end as needed).[Drinks]: Wine (House Red, House White, Moscato, Rose, Sangria - $6), beer (Coors Light, Blue Moon, 805 - $4), White Claw ($4), water ($1), soda ($2), and coffee/tea ($2). I actually didn't get my tea and had to follow up with the staff to finally get my drink. Don't expect fancy coffee - it's just k-cups coffee/black tea.Expect stain, paint, and saw dust so don't wear your nicest clothes to DIY wood workshops! Board and Brush is still not my jam as I am not artistic enough, but it was an interesting activity and I can see this as a fun date night/family event/corporate event.
