Anna, Tamara, and Sonia, all skilled woodworkers, knew the obstacles that women faced when trying to break into the male-dominated woodworking industry. Often women find it difficult to enter the labor market due to the sector's traditional masculinization and the high cost of setting up a specialized workshop. This inspired the trio to create "Un Taller para Todas" ("A Workshop for All"), an association and shared workshop. However, finding a suitable workshop space proved challenging due to zoning restrictions. Eventually, they secured a rental space at TMDC, a collaborative workshop in Sant Martí and with the support of the Barcelona Activa program were able to develop a unique business model.
Un Taller para Todas is not just a workshop but also a community that supports women in the woodworking industry. They provide a space to practice woodworking skills, share resources, and collaborate with new professionals. Their ultimate goal is to empower women to achieve self-sufficiency and economic equality in the trade and to undertake professional projects that were once taboo or off-limits.
