A creative collaboration between ASDA, street-artist Li7e Alternative and MBN Arts. A young artist took on a half-finished canvas donated by Li7e Alternative and, through multiple sessions, added her own vision — experimenting with technique, personal style and collaborative art. The result is a bold, original piece that reflects creative partnership, growth and self-expression.
Canvases & paintings

Through guided sessions, they build their skills in brushwork, colour, composition and personal expression, creating pieces that reflect their creativity, voice and growing confidence.
Wood Work
Mike Ness2025-11-26T12:00:54+00:00In our Woodwork Project, young people learn practical joinery and creative construction by designing and building real pieces — from benches to small furniture and artistic objects. Through measuring, cutting, shaping and finishing, participants gain hands-on skills, confidence and the sense of achievement that comes from making something tangible with their own hands.
Design Technology
Mike Ness2025-11-26T12:03:03+00:00Our Design Technology course invites young people to take on design challenges — from decorative items to mechanical prototypes — guiding them through planning, building, refining and problem-solving. With hands-on making and creative thinking, participants develop practical skills, resilience and creative confidence in a supportive, alternative-education setting.
Clay Creations
Mike Ness2025-11-26T12:06:16+00:00In our Clay Creations project, young people get hands-on with clay to sculpt imaginative creatures, characters and models. Through shaping, texturing and finishing, they explore form and creativity in a supportive environment — turning ideas into tangible sculptures and building practical skills, confidence and artistic expression.
