Sign Making Workshop

Create your own sign in this hands-on Tacoma class that turns simple boards into standout décor!



3 hours Location Tacoma Class size 1 to 12 (public classes), 10 to 30   $75 ($75 for 12"x48" Porch Leaner Sign; $75 for 18" Round Sign; $75 for 22" Square Sign; $75 for 18"x24" Rectangle Sign)

Our sign-making workshop offers four shape options: an 18" round, a porch leaner sign 12"x48", a framed 22" x 22" square, and a rectangle board 18"x24". Each shape has its own design choices, so please be sure to review all four options before making your selection. This also means you can sign up for a round while your friend signs up for a framed square on the same day—just let us know who you’d like to sit next to.
Step into the season with a project that feels cozy, creative, and completely doable, even if paintbrushes usually make you nervous. In this Tacoma porch sign-making class, you’ll spend three relaxed, joy-filled hours learning how to make a wooden sign that brings instant personality to your porch, entryway, or holiday setup!
You’ll start with your chosen board, choose the stencil design that matches your vibe, pick a stain or paint color you love, and ease into simple techniques that make the whole “how to make a sign” process feel surprisingly chill. This isn’t about being perfect -- it’s about having fun with creative activities, discovering new craft ideas, and making something that feels like you.
Your instructor guides you through prepping your board, smoothing on your stencil for crisp edges, layering colors that pop, and peeling back the final reveal (always the best part). Add extra touches like glitter if you’re feeling bold, or keep it classic -- your project is totally your call. Every piece turns out different, and that’s the magic. Whether you’re hunting for things to do near Seattle, craving a stress-free night out, or genuinely curious about how to make a wooden porch sign from scratch, this workshop gives you a warm, supportive space to create something you’ll be excited to hang or gift!
