By creating art as mothers in we are sharing our own version of motherhood in art.
Mums Art Club as a Reclaiming of Women’s Craft
Mums Art Club is a quiet act of reclamation.
For generations, the creative work of women such as sewing, weaving, quilting, decorating has been dismissed as “craft” rather than recognised as art.
These practices were essential, skilled, and deeply expressive, yet they were undervalued precisely because they were made by women, in domestic spaces, alongside caregiving.
Mums Art Club reclaims this lineage by creating space for mothers to make without apology, without productivity pressure, and without having to justify their creativity.
By gathering mums to create together, Mums Art Club honours the historical reality that women have always made art in community, in snatched moments, and in conversation with everyday life.
It challenges the idea that serious art must be solitary, uninterrupted, or detached from care. Instead, it embraces making that is relational, embodied, and rooted in lived experience.
In reclaiming women’s crafts, Mums Art Club also reclaims time, identity, and creative authority.
Mothers are not only carers or supporters of creativity, but artists in their own right. The act of making together becomes both resistance and renewal: a refusal to let women’s creativity remain marginal, and a reminder that what was once dismissed , is, and always has been, powerful art.
Mums Art Club provides a structured, supportive space for mothers to reconnect with their innate creativity through artist-led sessions that promote wellbeing, creative confidence, and emotional expression. By engaging in creative practice, participants are supported in strengthening their sense of identity and deepening their connection with their baby or child(ren).
Each session focuses on exploring the emotional landscape of motherhood and considers how these experiences can be represented through art.
Emphasis is placed on slow, hands-on processes, which encourage reflection, presence, and embodied making. This approach acknowledges the fragmented and demanding nature of maternal time, valuing process over product and allowing creativity to coexist with care.
The club also plays an important role in reclaiming women’s art. Historically, creative practices associated with women and the domestic sphere have been marginalised and categorised as “craft” rather than recognised as legitimate artistic expression. Mums Art Club challenges this hierarchy by validating maternal creativity and positioning women’s lived experiences as a vital source of artistic knowledge and cultural production.
Founded and led by artist Laura Gee, Mums Art Club affirms that mothers are not only caregivers and through collective making, the club contributes to the revaluation of women’s art practices and supports mother’s wellbeing, agency, and creative autonomy.
