Baby Penguin Figurine

Meticulously crafted with precision and care, each penguin is individually turned on the lathe in two distinct parts. The body, a harmonious blend of Walnut and Maple, while the beak, crafted from Osage Orange, adds a delightful touch of contrast and character. Each penguin has a unique shape. 

Having advocacy and representation as a driving force of the business, Jackie challenges those negative perspectives and offer inspiration to others, no matter who they are! This started with taking up space in this male dominated craft to challenge these stereotypes, thus Woods(wo)man was born.

About Jackie:  Jackie Toner (she/her) is a queer, cisgender female living with a disability and currently residing in Pesikitik/Windsor, Nova Scotia. 

Unlike many artists, Jackie doesn’t hail from a craft background but instead holds a BSc & MSc in Kinesiology. Throughout her journey in Academia, Jackie found working with my hands incredibly therapeutic and found woodworking as a creative outlet. In early 2023, Jackie left her PhD in Health to focus on her passion for woodworking & turning and sharing her passion with others through teaching.
