Join us for a relaxed, open-ended rock painting workshop where creativity leads the way. There are no step-by-step lessons, no rules to follow, and no experience required — just a table full of paints, brushes, and smooth stones waiting to become something uniquely yours. Spend time creating a rock or two to keep, gift, or hide around town for someone else to discover. Whether you want to paint colorful patterns, tiny landscapes, funny characters, inspiring words, or completely abstract designs, this is a space to experiment, unwind, and enjoy the process at your own pace. Perfect for all skill levels - whether you are a beginner or an expert. This workshop is about self-expression, conversation, and the simple joy of making art without pressure.
