f you’ve been hanging around the house a lot longer these days, you might want to check out the Mesa business that Mary June and Dennis Collins opened. Ohio natives who have lived in Mesa for 37 years, they own the Board & Brush Creative Studio at 2837 N. Power Road in The Village at Las Sendas and are part of a fast-growing DIY wood sign and home décor art workshop chain that issues new designs on the �irst of each month, with the latest releases themed to fall, football, and family. Master craftspersons and novices alike can feel at home in the studio, thanks to instructor-led workshops that guide patrons through the ins and outs of power tools, paint, stencil art and assembly, with all materials supplied. Each Pick Your Project Workshop lasts about three hours and costs $68, with preregistration required. The Mesa studio also offers family-friendly workshops, time crunch mini workshops, specialty projects such as door mats, backyard games and totes, and even private parties and corporate events any day of the week by reservation. The studio is keeping class size to 20, with four people to a table, to allow room to spread out, with instructors at every table. It’s also a BYOB establishment after 4 p.m., so customers can bring their own beer, wine and snacks. While the studio opened last summer, it’s only recently the owners celebrated a grand opening.
