Our Woodworking & Gender project, has been highlighted by The National Lottery Heritage Fund on their website, including an interview with Project lead Cat Poppensieker.
Project lead Cat Poppensieker says: “Heritage woodworking crafts are in danger. If there is no transfer of knowledge to the next generation, we’ll have a real issue. And if we don’t encourage women to be part of that next generation, we’re losing half of the potential people entering the trade.”
Read the blog on the The National Lottery Heritage Fund website to hear more from Cat and the influence the project is already having on the industry.
The Woodworking and Gender project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Conran Foundation, The Mila Charitable Trust, Benchmark Furniture Ltd, Vastern Timber Ltd. Thanks to these funding organisations and National Lottery players, we will ensure future generations of skilled and resilient women, trans and non-binary woodworkers are able to support the woodworking heritage of this country for years to come.
