Possible signs/symptoms that you may run arts workshops: - you own at least 1 crate like this - your collage materials have their own crate - you collect used pens for recycling - you couldn't find the potato peeler in ur own house, but can come up with 20 set squares/scissors/etc in 5 secs flat

A big plastic wheelie crate with the contents emptied out. It includes: boxes of art supplies labeled as for under 4 year olds, ages 4+, Sharpies and sketching pencils. A giant box of assorted scissors a sack of felt tip pens and pencils in bundles, a stack of boxes of pastels, a jar full of dice, a zipper bag full of precision scissors, glue sticks, and paintbrushes, a carton of acrylic gouache paints, a box of pencil sharpeners and erasers, and a jar marked for plastic pens for recycling. There's a stack of paper pads and boxes of fancy-ass pencils left in the crate. Whew. It's a fucken lot, I tells you.

- you've said 'fuckkit' and tested if pens & glue sticks work on your hands at least once - no matter how carefully you sort & bundle your pencil sets, there's always at least 5 odd ones that don't fit - but that's OK because you have another box of like 10 years worth of odd pencils! 🤷 🙃

The back of my hand covered in little felt tip pens squiggles and glue where I've tested if pens etc still work.

A plastic clip box filled with an arbitrary assortment of colouring and graphite pencils that have become separated from their sets. Usually because they're got too short for people's liking so they just get chucked in the bottom of the crate at the end of workshops.

On the topic of dead glue sticks, I've got one marinating in some water in a jar to see if it rehyrates enough to jam back in a tube or if the resulting syrup is usable

- you don't have anything worth bequeathing in a will but your friends know to just invite the organisers of the local craft groups over and let them pick through the chaos instead of hiring a house clearance firm

Also your bestie/partner in SciArt workshop-crime has got really mad & held a grudge at you for only giving them safety scissors to collage with. (It was an accident, I swear!)
