Rustic Chalk Decor's Saturday DIY Crafternoon continues at its Kelowna studio on Saturdays through December 19, 2026, running 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The drop-in wood sign painting sessions give adults and children a chance to make their own home decor, and they remain listed as upcoming on KelownaNow's event calendar after last weekend's session.
Why you should go
- You leave with something finished. Guests pick a project, design and colours at the studio and take home a wood sign or other decor piece, with staff help available throughout.
- The price stays low. Projects start at $25 per person, and the $25 deposit at booking is applied to what you make. Higher-priced items such as trays and doormats are paid up on the day.
- It suits families. Each guest makes a project, and children under six may share one project with a parent, so a younger child can join without a second fee.
- It fits a short outing. Most projects take one to two hours, which leaves the rest of a Saturday free.
- It is downtown and easy to reach. The studio sits at 542 Lawrence Avenue, about a block toward the lake from Safeway.
What happens at the studio
Guests choose a project, design and colours when they arrive, then work at their own pace. Seats are booked online or by phone with Lasma at 778-214-3619, and a $25 deposit is required at booking. Only registered guests are allowed in the studio, so there are no spectators or bystanders, according to Rustic Chalk Decor.
- Wooden signs from $25
- Tote bags from $25
- Photo boards from $35
- Wooden trays from $55
- Pillows $55
- Doormats from $60
What to know before you go
Sessions run every Saturday from November 7 to December 19, according to KelownaNow, which lists seven dates at the same 10:30 a.m. start. Arriving five to 15 minutes early is recommended. The studio also advertises drop-in spots when space allows, but booking ahead is the reliable route. It also sells take-home DIY kits. The brief does not say whether December 19 is the final session of the year, so check with the studio.
