As an associate artist with Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, I led art activities at the weekly Unity in Diversity (UiD) and Swansea Asylum Seekers Support (SASS) drop in sessions at York Place in October. My aim was mostly to work with adults, but children joined in too on Thursdays.

The theme was trees. We painted fruit and autumn leaves from life and people worked together to make larger paintings and collages.

It was wonderful to see people absorbed in the activities to create colourful art work.
