Crafting a New Path
Jackie Toner’s leap from academia to woodturning and entrepreneurship began as a creative escape and became a full-time career. As the founder of Woods Woman Woodworking, she designs and crafts handmade kitchenware and art pieces while mentoring young women entering the trades.
In this episode, Jackie talks about turning uncertainty into opportunity, building a business from scratch, and leading a shop that values creativity and inclusion as much as craftsmanship. Her story highlights the rise of women in small-scale manufacturing, mental wellness in trades, and how passion can evolve into purpose.
Whether you’re a woman apprentice, an employer, or an ally, discover how you can help strengthen the future of women in Canada’s manufacturing trades at emccanada.org/herjourney
Presented by Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium (EMC), produced by Memory Tree Productions.
