REFRAMED | Built by Women | Patagonia Films

"We need women who are the professionals, who are the experts, who are then passing on that knowledge to other women. That’s where I see this going.”-Jenna Pollard
Women make up less than five percent of US carpenters by trade. By sharing her skills with a group of women apprentices, timber framer Jenna Pollard is changing the narrative-one dovetail joint at a time.

I looove this!

[@jackiegammon2065]

I worked as a carpenter back in the 80"s and loved it! Although I wish that this program had been around at that time: I would have loved it! Kudos to the instructors wanting to share their knowledge and to the women taking these courses!!

[@25erins]

HOLY COW, JENNA! So neat to see what you have built! Not only structurally, but the community as well! Great to see your vision come to life 👊

Gave me chills. Needed to feel this hope

[@rhettjacobi]

Being a builder for many years, I'm so grateful and happy to see this film. The craft of people of people learning trades is dying slowly, so we need more people to get involved and learn how to use their hands. If the guys are too lazy, or they find the work too hard....it's time for the girls to get involved and show them how to get it done!!

[@rachelaske2497]
