Celebrating the Success of Mums Meet and Make at Roe Valley Arts Centre

In March 2024, we held our first Mums Meet and Make workshop at Roe Valley Arts Centre, on International Women's Day. This workshop led by pottery Fiona Shannon celebrated the incredible mothers in our community and we have been thrilled to continue this series with different monthly workshops, and the wonderful feedback we've received has been truly heartwarming.

Motherhood is a beautiful journey but can also be challenging and isolating at times and Mums Meet and Make was designed to help combat this isolation and create an opportunity for new parents to connect, share experiences and lift each other up through creative workshops.


Our workshops provide mums with a safe space to express themselves and cultivate their confidence and self worth.

‘I really had a fantastic morning and would like to Thankyou the centre and the tutors/teachers for making me and my little baby girl so welcome!’

We’ve held workshops in pottery and crafting and are looking forward to a brilliant glass painting workshop with artist Natasha Duddy next month. We’ve loved meeting all the mums and their little ones and creating a fun and enjoyable environment for them to create art with their little ones by their sides.

‘It was just lovely to do something crafty and chat with other mums’

Many of the mums attending have told us how they are revisiting creative practices that they loved before becoming mothers and we are delighted to create the space for them to do this.

These inclusive workshops are open to all mums regardless of their artistic background, we have wonderful tutors who offer guidance support and encouragement as the mums create.

‘Please keep doing these classes! We are really enjoying them and the coffee / buns / scones after are a complete added bonus! :) Thank you’
