Cultivating Creativity & Community for Artist/Mothers.

Lots of Spilt Milk members are taking part in the 100 Days Project Scotland which starts on June 1st 2022 and culminates on September 9th 2022. The rules are simple. Choose one creative thing and commit to doing it every day for 100 days, and record the effort each day. We would love to open this project out and encourage new members to join us by signing up before June 1st.

We are interested in utilising the unique format of the 100 day project in order to encourage the artist/mothers in our community to engage in a regular creative practice, form new habits and cultivate a deeper connection to ourselves and others. We understand how challenging it can sometimes feel to dedicate time and energy to your own practice with so many other daily responsibilities. We hope that taking part in this project can encourage you to prioritise yourself and your own creativity whilst benefiting from the support, encouragement and motivation from the Spilt Milk community. 

We will regularly feature Spilt Milk members who are taking part in the project on instagram and will also host regular ‘show and tell’ online events to share our progress and offer motivation to one another. At the end of the project, we will select some images to feature in our 2023 wall calendar which will be launched in October online, and at our next exhibition.

Share what you are creating on instagram and tag #SpiltMilk100Days #100DaysProjectScotland #SpiltMilkMember 

It is up to you to decide what your daily creative activity will be and it can literally be anything! Choose something that’s manageable and if you happen to forget or skip a day here or there, you won’t be judged!

Some ideas and suggestions:

• Fill a small sketchbook page or journal each day (it could be a sketch, collage, sentence or even a word a day!)

• Use your phone to take an image, video or record a voice note each day. 

• Sing, dance or perform.

• Commit to trying something new each day (new mediums, new tools, new techniques, new recipes? You chose).  

Check out the official 100 Days Project Scotland website for more inspiration and to see what participants created in previous years.

Ready to join us? Current members can find details of how to sign up in the member area.

New members are welcome to join us before June 1st to take part. Check out our membership page to see how to become a member of Spilt Milk and join the project.
