Cheap Materials

If you are looking for cheap materials why not try SCRAP out at Sunny Bank Mills? Scrap Website
Sarah Sze would have a field day in there, and if you havnt seen it you must look at Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s  The Way Things Go it's great for thinking up ideas about what to do with stuff and is in effect a video drawing.
 
It’s a bit of a way out of Leeds city centre but that shouldn’t deter you, it’s only a mile from the station and you can get there by bus.

If you need paint try Seagulls, they recycle paint and have a huge stock. See: Seagulls reuse 

If you need wood try Leeds Wood Recycling. 

For secondhand furniture and other household items try Emmaus  E.g. a student wanting lots of secondhand frames for drawings, was able to get a job lot from there.
