A peer support network supporting the dual roles of mothers/birth-givers and care-givers who are also makers/artists/creative people.
Join us at The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Learning Space 2 on Sunday 28 May, 2pm – 3.30pm for an inclusive, supportive and friendly meeting for any kind of maker and any kind of mother/birth-giver or care-giver who identifies as female or non-binary. A chance to reflect on how we are doing within the duality of our creative lives and mothering lives in a non-judgemental, respectful space.
Mothers Who Make events are adult-focused however children are always welcome and toys are provided. Sessions explore emergent themes, points of connection, points of dissonance, particular challenges and helpful resources.
Every kind of maker is welcome, professional and/or passionate including writers, painters, performers, film makers, musicians, technicians, producers, bakers, crafters and academics. We hope to reach across generations and art forms, celebrating the plurality of voices which are part of this discussion.
This session will also be a chance to receive a free copy of our upcoming publication Mothers Who Make a Garden: The Dreaming, which features contributions from 24 artists and mothers from the region. Find out more about Mothers Who Make a Garden here.
