M/Others Who Make, Bournemouth
"MWM is an international movement for women and non binary people who care about creating, and create whilst caring."
Together with e-textiles artist Emilie Giles, we are the neurodivergent mother-artists coordinating the first M/Others Who Make* creative sessions in Dorset.
Our monthly sessions began in February 2024, at TOSH in Boscombe. Our workshop outlines:
"All of our groups are designed to welcome women, people who birth and non binary people who are mothers, parents or carers at any stage in their journey. Makers of all interests and disciplines are encouraged to join us, whether your creative identity is a profession, a passion, or lying dormant, you are welcome. Children are encouraged to attend too and are integrated into the meeting, for the dual roles of mother and artist are recognised and given equal value within all MWM events." MWM
Events are open to all m/others and non binary parents. Expectant, new, grand, great grand, step, foster, adoptive mothers. Those with babies, or older children. Mothers without living children. Mothers who breastfeed, mothers who bottlefeed. Mothers of any race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity. Mothers with a disability.
Our monthly workshops are held at The Old School House Boscombe, located at Gladstone Road East, Boscombe, BH7 6BG.

Our monthly sessions began in February 2024, at TOSH in Boscombe. Our workshop outlines:
- Let's gather, share and make together: A new, simple creative make each session, led by a m/other.
- With your children in attendance - or not! Events are adult-centred but children are welcome to attend and participate.
- No particular level of experience is necessary to attend: Women at any stage of their careers or creative journeys are welcome.
- We provide everything: Creative kit, guidance, tea, toast and toys and play space for little ones.
