During this guided workshop, you will:
• Begin with a blank 18” x 30” natural coir doormat for the adult

• Choose from a selection of simple, kid-friendly stencil designs
• Learn easy painting techniques designed specifically for coir mats
• Explore color placement, brush techniques, and teamwork
• Pick up tips for sealing and caring for both finished mats
The child's mat is just the right size for:
• A bedroom doorway
• A playroom or playhouse
• A reading nook or cozy corner
• A toy kitchen or pretend storefront
• Gifting to a grandparent or favorite teacher
We provide everything you need - doormats, stencils, paints, brushes, and step-by-step guidance so you can focus on creating, connecting, and having fun. The class is relaxed, supportive, and paced for all ages, making it perfect for family outings, one-on-one time, or a creative evening together. You’ll leave with finished, porch-ready mats and the pride of saying, “We made these.”
Please select the design you would like to paint from the selections in the photos. You can enter it at checkout. This workshop will take approximately 1.5-2 hours depending on the project selected and ability of participants.

About Your Instructor/Artist:
Megan is the owner and creative force behind The Doormat Company, a hand-painted doormat and workshop brand based in Pennsylvania. Her inspiration comes from a love of home, gathering, and the small details that make an entrance feel personal. With a background rooted in creativity and community, Megan views art as a way to welcome people in - both literally and figuratively. Megan primarily works with natural coir doormats, using hand-cut stencils and layered paint techniques to create designs that are equal parts functional and expressive. Her process balances intention with ease, allowing each piece to feel approachable, warm, and lived-in (and sometimes sarcastic) - much like the homes they welcome. Through The Doormat Company, Megan hosts beginner-friendly DIY workshops at local venues, creating space for people to slow down, gather, and create something meaningful together. She currently resides in Pennsylvania with her family and continues to be inspired by front porches, shared moments, and the beauty of everyday arrivals.

We are located at 381 Brinton Lake Road, Thornton, PA 19373.
We are located behind the historic Mill (the Offices at the Mill). When you enter the parking lot, immediately turn right and go behind the main building.
