A Splash of Color

With classes offered Wednesday through Sunday, you can have a weeknight art escape or a weekend artist retreat. You can view upcoming classes on their website.
*Each painting location allows guests to bring their own drinks and snacks, with adult beverages allowed during designated hours during adults only events.
Check with each location for their specific rules. Each location is also offering DIY kits you can do at home!
Crafty Creations
Are you a fan of country chic home décor with a personalized flair? Hammer & Stain in Locust Grove has the workshop for you. Choose from tons of designs at their quaint studio space where you can create your own wood signs and home décor. Hammer & Stain also has open paint nights where the kids can paint their own rocks. You can also pick up a DIY kit to make your creation at home with virtual instruction. Visit their website for upcoming classes.
Out-of-the-Box Art
Exquisitely painted rocks are popping up at locations all over Henry County. While the members of the Henry County Rocks group are responsible for most of these works of art, you can create your own rock art at one of several studios around Henry County. Hammer and Stain has special rock painting days for kids during their Open Painting Workshops. At Creativity Café, you can choose to switch out ceramics or canvas for a rock. Create a custom creation with the provided supplies. Whether you keep or hide your treasure for others to find is up to you! (For hints on where to find or hide painted rocks, be sure to join the Henry County Rocks Facebook Group).
