Hey Craft! Make an Everyday Courage Medal

Craft in Common is a series of five online workshops with artist Alinah Azadeh. It’s a resource for making and sharing things to get through difficult times and in solidarity. This workshop is themed around courage.

In this time of crisis we are all trying to be more courageous. Alinah invites you to make a medal celebrating the often-unacknowledged acts of everyday courage. “It’s courageous to: try new things, reach out for support, feel and share difficult feelings, be strong for others, tell truth to those who you love, find joy in small things and to keep focusing on what you love and have rather than what is lacking.”

Alinah invites you to make a medal for yourself or to gift to someone else. You can use materials found around the house.

This workshop takes place online using Zoom.
