Weaving Futures

Workshop 1: Clay & Prayer
Create clay tiles inscribed with names, prayers, and intentions that will become part of the final installation.

“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for them a house in Paradise.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Weaving Futures is a series of free community workshops where Muslim women gather to create a temporary open-air prayer space together

In many mosques, women are placed at the back, separated, or unseen. Outside the mosque, many hijabi and visibly Muslim women move through daily experiences of Islamophobia.

These workshops are an invitation for us to gather differently.

Together, we will create a space shaped by prayer, reflection, beauty, and collective care, a space where Muslim women can see themselves reflected back through art, light, and one another.

Each workshop combines hands-on artmaking with dhikr and dua. The materials we create- clay, woven mirrors, prayers, names, and intentions — will become part of the final prayer space itself, carrying the presence, prayers, and hands of everyone who contributes.
