How do you balance modern motherhood? What does it feel like to be pulled in many directions? How do you navigate the ecstasy and the agony of child-raising?

Inspired by our current exhibition Being Home, join us for an afternoon of using your personal stories of motherhood as source material for creative expression. We will uncover the many faces of motherhood by working with found objects, free-writing and mask-making. Dig deep into the well of your experience and make your mark.
