This tool was developed as part of Cultural Cwtsh, which was an online creative wellbeing hub for the health and care workforce in Wales, created by the Arts Council of Wales in collaboration with artists across the country.
In partnership with the Arts Council of Wales, we’re excited to share this mental wellbeing tool, alongside with many other creative resources, with everyone in Wales!
Three inexpensive ‘kitchen level entry’ projects into collage, printing and etching.
Hello my name is Emma Jones. I am an art practitioner based in the Vale of Glamorgan. I am passionate about art and the effect it can have on our wellbeing.
Here are three inexpensive ‘kitchen level entry’ projects into collage, printing and etching. Hopefully one or all three of them will spark your interest and you will want to pursue further. I encourage lots of having a go and experimenting.
The three videos are around five mins each, with pdfs working alongside them with step by step information.

Milk Carton Etching
Have a go at an inexpensive etching process. This one takes practice so enjoy all the results that come from each print.
Most important is the having a go, enjoying the process and not worrying about the outcome.
Polystyrene Print
Great way to reuse this type of single use food packaging and get you into print making.
Food Packaging Art
Using just an image and food packaging. I love collaging and this is a really fun way to get you started.
