Board & Brush Creative Studio - Chanhassen — Attraction in Chanhassen

UPDATE: I talked to Susan and she was VERY helpful!! Thank you!

Overall, the experience was fine.

Staff was a little rude. I had an issue with my board. I asked why it was looking the way it did while I was staining as there was a LARGE portion that wouldn't take stain. The first girl told me "it is just the way the board is." I asked another girl who then brought it to their manager. They did up giving me a new board, however, I overheard comments about how I had "distressed it too much" and that is why it looked the way it did, which did not make sense as distressing it would not make the board be splotchy like it was. There was also a comment from the manager, "This board will just need to work for her because this is the only board we have."

After I was given the board back, I wasn't provided any tools to recreate the way I had it done before. My project overall turned out okay, however, it does not have the exact look I was originally going for.

I cannot say I will be returning for another project...

I had fun with my co-workers, making my project, and had a good experience. However, I chose a clock as my project and first of all the stain on my project wasn't drying the same way everyone else's was so that was inconvenient but it was whatever. Second, they didn't have the correct clock parts for my project. So the owner told me to leave it there and she would get the right parts and I could pick it up in a few days. There was a confusion somewhere with it being ready or not. We were told it wasn't ready when we called but when I finally did go pick it up I was told it was ready the next day. Unfortunately, tho she didn't actually attach the clock parts to it and didn't check if they would fit and she just gave me the same parts that didn't work with my project when we were there. So now I have an expensive piece of firewood. Had fun but if I were to do it again or suggest what to do, don't...

Soo fun! It’s a great experience from start to finish! You get to select your own piece to create, allowing you to find the right thing for your space that you’ll actually WANT to keep when you’re finished! The ladies (and gentlemen—Justin) instruct while managing the different skill and engagement level of the class, allowing people to feel comfortable to go at their pace and assisting when needed. Cannot wait to go back for more classes! Would be a great ladies night, bachelorette party, or work party! Great parking and accessibility at the Chan...
