Council subsidised art supplies.

Sophieh10

I'm sure I read on here once that there are council run art supply shops that are subsidised where you pay a membership fee and then can buy very cheap art supplies, bug I can't remember the name! I've searched high and low online bug wondered if anyone could please help me to find them. Many thanks.

Probably a local scrap art project, may have to be a local community group to use though.

Have you tried asking at your local library? They may know of the service.

For making effective painting, you must have complete quality art supplies.

OP, you mean a resource centre.

With the local government cuts, most of them have closed, and those left open are only available to a select few - specialist projects aimed at either children or vulnerable people, voluntary groups who work with those groups, and council employees who have a use for it (such as social workers, teachers, play workers etc). My local one has stopped childminders using it, and it is due for closure in 4 months.

Unless you open up a youth club which is recognised by the local council, its unlikely you will be able to get near one.

Don't know if it would be any use to you but here is one that is local to me:
