Hammer & Stain Rockville — Attraction in Rockville

I recently visited Hammer & Stain during their open studio hours to create a sea glass Christmas tree, and I couldn't have had a better experience! From the moment I walked in, the owner, Michelle, made me feel so welcome. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful, walking me through the process step-by-step. When I felt stuck choosing colors or shapes, she offered advice and encouragement that made the project come together really well!

I wouldn’t consider myself very artistic, but with Michelle’s guidance, I created a tree I’m genuinely proud of :-) The studio itself has such a pleasant ambiance, with music playing and walls full of inspiring artwork that showcase the creative possibilities.

If you’re looking for a fun, creative activity in a supportive and inviting environment, I highly recommend...

We had an incredible experience working with Hammer & Stain for our elementary school’s PTA painting party! From start to finish, Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with.

We’re so grateful for her support and highly recommend Hammer & Stain to anyone planning a creative event. Thank...

Every morning, my kids couldn’t wait to go back, and they were always proud to show off their artwork at the end of the day. It’s such a joy as a parent to see your children thrive, feel confident, and have so much fun while learning. We’ll definitely be back next summer!

Highly recommend this camp to any family looking to nurture their child’s love for art in a supportive and...
