\u201cBalancing that family and work and then a full-time job, has probably been the biggest challenge,\u201d Posch said. Both co-owners have worked incredibly hard to make their business available for the Manchester community and doing that involved a lot of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLisa has her strengths, and I have my strengths,\u201d Posch said. \u201cI’m the dreamer, and she’s kind of what keeps me grounded \u2013 but that grounded person also needs somebody to push them out of their comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, many in Manchester mistakenly think the studio is a pet groomer \u2013 instead of understanding the uniqueness of the business. The closest similar businesses are in Murfreesboro and Chattanooga. Like those studios, creating at Board & Brush involves more than just painting a pre-made project or even simply assembling from a kit. The workshops teach how to distress the raw wood, stain it, paint it, and stencil it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c[We] walk through the whole process,\u201d Posch said. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like\u2026 a night out without having to go too far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA night out\u201d often involves food and drinks brought in by the customers, and everyone goes home with a beautiful project. The work and activities that go on in the Board & Brush Studio have been so attractive that several customers have come back \u2013 to be employees. Who wouldn\u2019t, when the job is to create and help others create? Posch and Ellison also love being at the studio, often going to work on days when the business is closed. Their love echoes what many of the customers feel after a workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt’s like a stress relief,\u201d Posch said. \u201cWe have so much fun up there [that] it’s hard not to want to be there every day.\u201d GN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The creative souls of Manchester enjoy Manchester\u2019s Board & Brush Creative Studio learning things from etched glass to charcuterie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":6886,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[32],"class_list":["post-6884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","tag-november"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC_6434-comments-1-1024x683.jpg\")
