Christmas Card Making // A PAYC Event

The in-person venue is currently located on the second floor and unfortunately does not have lift access. We recognise this creates a significant accessibility barrier for some participants and we want to be transparent about this limitation. Because accessibility matters deeply to The Madre Project

No. Attendees are welcome to bring materials, but otherwise everything is provided.

Anyone interested in creativity and community! You do not need to identify as a mother or parent to attend. The space is intentionally inclusive.

Sessions are led and facilitated by Sandy Oldaker (@themotherresearcher), a philosophy researcher and artist working across motherhood studies, biopolitics, feminist theory, reproductive politics, and autoethnographic practice.

No. We require all attendees to book via Eventbrite so we can ensure we have prepared adequately for you, spaces are limited.

Join us at The Madre Project for a cosy, self-guided Christmas card-making session. We’ll have the Christmas films playing in the background, mince pies on the table and bottomless coffee to keep you going while you make something a little more personal for the people you love.

We’ll provide everything you need:

Card blanks & envelopes, paints, pens, pencils, glitter, collage materials and plenty more to experiment with.

There’s no class and no pressure to produce anything perfect. This is a self-guided making session, come with ideas, copy something you love, experiment, make a beautiful mess, or simply see what happens.

Stay for the session, make as many cards as you have time for, enjoy the festivities and have a conversation while you create.

No artistic experience needed. Just come along, grab a coffee and make something.

We will run two sessions

Daytime — Thursday 3 December

Evening — Wednesday 9 December

All materials included

Mince pies included

Bottomless tea & coffee included

Come alone, come with a friend, or bring someone you’d like to spend a few Christmassy hours making things with.

Make the cards. Eat the mince pies. Drink the coffee. Get Christmas started.

Babes in arms are very welcome. *please see FAQ's for access details
