Women of Woodworking is a volunteer-based media project that began in 2014 as an interview series here on my blog and on Instagram at @womenofwoodworking. I wanted to help amplify the stories and work of other women and gender non-conforming woodworkers out there, and help foster a welcoming community space for all.
That series has now grown into a robust community of women and non-binary makers from all over the world. We’re also partners with The Furniture Society to produce virtual programming, interviews, as well as meet-ups and a virtual affinity group.
