Have you ever stumbled upon a colorful, hand-painted rock that has been painted in bright colors or has an uplifting message written on it? You may have just found a kindness rock! Rock painting or rock art is a trend that has picked up popularity in recent years. Whether you’re an artist who is looking for a new art project or
someone who wants to share a positive message with others, painting rocks might be for you.~This painted rock, sometimes called a kindness stone, is simply a rock that someone has decorated with an inspirational message. They can be any size or shape, as big or small as you like! The point of this stone painting is to sprinkle positivity around your community. Once you create one, the idea is to leave it somewhere for another person to find and enjoy. As we all know, sometimes a simple message of love and compassion can spark joy and brighten someone’s entire day.~If you would like to paint some rocks with us, we will be handing out craft kit materials, including rocks, on Wednesday, April 7th between 11-2pm for all that register. Limited to 30 kits, please call (860)434-4127 to register. Free of charge and open to all members.
