Come join us for a relaxed and colorful rock painting workshop in the spirit of Pride on Wed 10.6.26 at 5:30 PM and Sat 13.6.26 starting at 11 AM at Anton's house.
The event is open to everyone, and painting supplies and rocks will be available on site so you can easily create your own rainbow rock. The rock workshop instructor is Anni Salminen.
You can also bring your own stone if you want to paint it. Let's paint bold colors, messages, and symbols together – and spread joy and equality around the city.
