  • A pencil or pen
  • A pair of scissors 
  • A glue stick
  • An old magazine
  • String 
  • Tape
  • A paper clip

Part of our Gateways into Creative Activity: a series of worksheets, videos and prompts for anyone who would like to have a go at a new artistic activity, or maybe rekindle a dormant creative interest, developed by Marion Cheung, Naz Syed, Creative Lives and Age Cymru, as part of the Unearthing Creativity project.


We are extremely grateful to the Arts Council of Wales for their support for this project.
