The Milky Way
In August 2021, The WAAS were commissioned by an AHRC funded consortium of Manchester Metropolitan University, Social Art Network and Axis for Social Art for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (SAFEDI).

The Baby Makers
The Baby Makers, a series of creative workshops for women in pregnancy, presented in collaboration with community midwives. Focussing on the power of making and crafting having a positive effect on mental health and wellbeing, the sessions create an intimate space where a group of women and midwives come together to make something. In doing so they form a community that supports them through the coming changes in their life.
