About this Event

Join researchers Carole Hunt and Marie-Clare Balaam for an interactive workshop exploring motherhood through objects from The Harris collection. Discover the stories behind maternal artefacts and fashion, bring along your own objects, and share your experiences through a relaxed show-and-tell session celebrating the everyday items that shape motherhood, past and present.
Babies and young children welcome. Refreshments provided.
Please note that this workshop is being offered on two dates. Please select the date that works best for you.
