Art Pod: Mother and Child

Monday 17, drop-in 11am – 3.45pm

On Monday 17 February, The Hepworth Wakefield invites you and your family to celebrate Miffy’s 70th birthday and the publication of a new book, Miffy and the Artists, by Dick Bruna published by Thames & Hudson.

Miffy and the Artists features Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture Mother and Child – on display at The Hepworth Wakefield – and this iconic sculpture is the inspiration for this week’s Art Pod activities.

We are giving away Miffy ears and colouring-in sheets (subject to availability) – available to collect from the welcome desk on arrival. You can also read copies of Miffy and the Artists on the Explore & Draw stations in the gallery.

Miffy and the Artists by Dick Bruna is exclusively available to buy from The Hepworth Wakefield from Monday 17 February until Thursday 27 March 2025.
