be inspired to use making in a campaign

What would you include if making your own Creative Success booklet? Consider all your options then select the most compelling ideas as this will help convince others.

What other creative activities could get people thinking about your campaign? Playing a game, following a trail? Could you put things in unusual places for people to find?

What visual symbol would represent your ideas? Faz used the fish in a tree design to represent her campaign and made her templates using a 3D printer but you could use anything you have to hand (paper, card, modelling clay). Making a simple print block could be a good way to get started.

Can you make a solidarity badge for your campaign? Faz made hers from metal.

What material would you use? Could you draw, knit, crochet, sew or print some? Or better still can you get other people to make one of their own?

Your Turn To make

A Curator's Perspective

My own experience of working in the arts and choosing it over a 'safe' and traditional career makes this campaign feel relatable. The campaign also feels really important for young people in Birmingham and those engaging with Craftspace's programmes.

Research into systematic inequality shows that working hard to succeed may not even be enough to overcome racial, class, gender, geographical or other obstacles.

Faz's campaign is truly special by showing that building a support network can help on this journey - maybe with a mentor too?
