Mothers who Make is a grassroots, international network, dedicated to supporting mothers that hold the dual roles of mother and maker.
Mothers Who Make Dartmoor gatherings are for creative mothers of all ages and background.

MED Theatre Studio, Moretonhampstead

Open to all creative people, and/or mothers!

Our next Mothers Who Make Dartmoor session will involve the screening of a brand new short film created by two Dartmoor mother-makers, Emma Stansfield and Chloe Banks – Exchange Rate.
We will explore the personal journeys of these two women, as well as getting an insight into the art and science of film-making and script creation, from conception through to creation, including the challenges as well as the achievements. There will be opportunity to share in an open dialogue of our own challenges and wins through making art, as well as a few cups of tea!

Please contact Abby to let us know you would like to join and to ask any questions!

All types of Makers (professional or passionate) and Mothers (eg. grand/to be/bereaved) welcome to participate

Your children are always welcome in the space, but please let us know who to expect so we can plan the session to be inclusive and fun for everyone.
Mothers Who Make is a gathering for every kind of mother who considers herself a maker – professional and / or passionate – in any discipline and at any stage on their creative paths – writers, painters, performers, film makers, dancers, producers, musicians, crafters, cooks…
Children of any age 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.
There are peer support meetings across the UK and in France and Australia.
Sessions vary and have been held out and about at different locations, however we often host sessions at the MED Theatre Studio, 11a New Street, Moretonhampstead, TQ13 8PE.
Park in a car park in Moretonhampstead then walk to the centre where you find a wide alleyway the right of the Co-Op. Follow this around to the right where you’ll find our studio.
For further information or to join the meeting contact Abby at MED Theatre abbystobart@medtheatre.co.uk.
We look forward to seeing you!
