Treasure Coast: DIY Epoxy Fun in Stuart

My husband and I are always looking for something new to do on a date night, or even a night out with the kids. When I saw a DIY Epoxy Class in Stuart, I was signed up. I told my family. They complained. They had no idea what an epoxy class was, what we were going to do, or what to expect. They knew this was just another “thing” I had signed our family up for and expected them to be excited about it. This is where I faked it ‘till I made it. Promised they would have a great time, showed them videos online, and did a song and dance that every mom does to convince the family it would be amazing. We arrived at the warehouse in Stuart 30 minutes before the class started and still had no idea what we were walking into. It is a large open-air workshop, and there were already a good amount of people there for the class. I was happy to see other parents and kids there. I wasn’t sure if we would be the only ones with kids.

As soon as we arrived, some boards were already prepped and ready to select from. I automatically knew we should have gotten there earlier because most of the boards had already been selected. All of the boards to choose from were quality though, and I’m happy with what we could pick out. Even though we were a family, I had only signed up for one board. Keep that in mind when making reservations.

While we waited to get started, there was time to get to know our table neighbors, and we found out that this was their first class too. As much fun as the DIY was, getting to know other locals was wonderful too. There were beverages to enjoy (adult options too) that were included in the class fee.

All of the supplies were provided, and plenty of colors to choose from. This was the most challenging part - Picking the perfect color.

STORY & PHOTOS BY MARIANNA FRANCES

Before we started mixing the epoxy, we were able to walk through the warehouse. See sample products, select the finish of the board, as well as enjoy a vast array of finger foods put out. The mixing and pouring were easy, and there were workers to help with each step of the process. Looking at the colors that others selected made me second guess our color choice, but I still loved our board and how it turned out. Once it was poured, we were instructed to leave the boards there to dry. We didn’t take the board home that night but went back the next week to sand it down, oil it and take it home.

If you are looking for a fun gift for Father’s Day, a date night, or even something creative to do with your older kids…this is it. We walked into the class not knowing what to expect, and now every month my family asks when we are going back. Classes are held once a month, and a deposit is required to hold your spot.
