Event lasts 6 hours

A kindness stones workshop is an uplifting, creative activity designed to promote random acts of kindness in the shape of painted rocks with inspirational words. These workshops combine art, mindfulness, and community building into a meaningful hands-on experience suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Drop in to create your own stones utilizing paint pens, inspirational examples and flat river stones. Spread them around town to bring smiles to the community, or to keep as a daily, positive reminder for yourself. Each participant will paint 3, 2-3" stones per ticket.

The workshop typically follows these key steps:

Rock Selection & Preparation - Participants choose smooth, appropriately-sized stones and learn proper cleaning techniques to ensure paint adhesion
Base Coat Creation - Participants apply colorful background designs using various techniques like solid colors, pour painting, or dot painting
Message Writing - The heart of the workshop where participants craft inspirational words, phrases, or positive affirmations using hand lettering techniques
Artistic Enhancement - Adding decorative elements like hearts, rainbows, or other uplifting imagery while following environmental safety guidelines
Sealing Process - Learning proper weatherproofing techniques to ensure the rocks withstand outdoor conditions
Sharing & Placement Discussion - Understanding appropriate locations for hiding rocks and alternative ways to spread kindness

$5 from each ticket will be donated to Mosaics of Mercy, a local organization that provides ongoing support to community members stuggling with mental health.
