Gnome Painting
Join The Skinny Jean Gardener for a Fun-filled Gnome Painting Workshop at Community 360 Colchester, Saturday 17th June. Our Colchester BID and Community 360 is pleased to announce an exciting and free event for children: the Gnome Painting Workshop featuring renowned gardening expert, Lee Connelly, popularly known as The Skinny Jean Gardener. This engaging activity will take place on Saturday, 17th June, from 9 am to 1 pm at Community 360.
The Gnome Painting Workshop invites children of all ages to unleash their creativity and participate in an enjoyable painting session. During the workshop, each child will have the opportunity to paint and name their very own gnome, which will then be proudly displayed around Colchester as part of the upcoming Colchester Garden Festival this summer with InColchester.
Not only will children have a blast expressing their artistic skills, but their gnomes will also play an essential role in raising funds for the local community. At the end of the festival, all the painted gnomes will be raffled off, with the proceeds going directly to support the charitable endeavors of Community 360.
