We staff all activities where visitors will be making something with
scissors and glue. It prevents people from using all of the materials
and it allows staff or volunteers to interact with the visitors while
they make their craft.

What experience have people had using art materials in galleries, such
as glue sticks and scissors.  We are planning a workstation in one of
our galleries--it will be the only thing in the gallery--where visitors
can make their own art postcard and "mail it"  to local artists who will
answer their questions. We are considering collage as art form for
postcard and wondered if it is absolutely crazy to have scissors and
glue sticks in bins for visitors to use.  This will not be staffed
workstation.
