Maker / Artist wanted

Making Mothers is a research project which aims to test an approach to the provision of antenatal care. Using a collective making activity alongside midwifery support we hope to prove the value of creative engagement as part of midwifery care, suggest new models for antenatal intervention and offer a group of pregnant women an experience at a significant moment in their lives.

We are looking to recruit an experienced artist to deliver workshops to women in South Birmingham starting in March 2019 to June 2019. We are particularly interested in makers working with textiles who can devise and deliver a making activity which links expectant mothers to their unborn child.

The Maker/Artist brief and Expression of Interest form can be downloaded from the website.

Deadline for Expressions of Interest is 5pm, Tuesday 5th February 2019.

The total fee for the project will be £1080 (including VAT)  plus £200 materials to cover:

•  Planning and delivery for 6 x 2 hours making sessions with women.
• 6 hours preparation and set up time for the sessions.
• 2 hour post birth session with participants and additional evaluation session with the team.
• Time for a pre-start meeting and visit to venue prior to commencing the project.

Travel expenses up to £350.00 can be claimed.
