We're very proud to announce that Museum of the Year finalist, Chapter Arts in Cardiff, is hosting the Feed project.

You can find the Feeding Chair, along with Sally Sutherland's Feeding Futures Floor Flag in their wonderful caffi bar until the end of August. Come and visit us to feed your baby or child and share your ideas about how Chapter can further support feeding people and families.

We are collaborating with The Birth Partner Project, a Cardiff-based charity which provides volunteer birth partners to support women seeking sanctuary who would otherwise face pregnancy, birth and early motherhood alone, to think about the café can contribute to the public health of Chapter's local communities and become a more welcoming shared space that meets the needs of parents and carers with young children.

We're also planning some events to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week in August. More details to follow....

Milk and Blankets is a free, hands-on art project taking place across Birmingham. It explores the act of feeding babies and children, the emotions, techniques, preconceptions and struggles associated with it and the unsolicited advice that can be received. Working with artists Joanne Masding and Amelia Hawk, parents at The Mamahood Space are invited to take part in two fun and relaxing workshops, using clay, scent and tastes to make objects and infusions that will come to life during a summer picnic celebration.

Workshop 1: Clay making workshop with Joanne Masding (Wed 5th March)

This workshop is an invitation to make cups and small pots together, as we celebrate all forms of baby feeding in public. Looking at examples of infant feeding and the female form in sculpture, and bringing our own expert knowledge of what it takes to nourish a baby, we will create cups out of clay that will become a collaborative artwork. You will be taught how to make a pot using the pinching technique, and all materials will be provided. 

Workshop 2: Play with your food, have a cuppa with Amelia Hawk (Wed 19th March)

This workshop is an invitation to explore comfort and nutrition in the humble mug of tea. We will be making infused milks and teas for big and small hands, exploring our mental and physical needs from the warmth of a hot drink. Flavour combinations will touch upon lactation, nutrition and mood. The workshops will be loose and free-flowing, with plenty of space for play. All materials provided.
