Build-a-Lamp Workshop with Chicago Women in Trades

Pipe fitters, plumbers, carpenters and electricians from Chicago Women in Trades—which works to increase women’s participation in skilled, well-paying professions that are traditionally dominated by men—will give you hands-on instruction on building your own lamp. Meanwhile, you’ll hear from local tradeswomen about how you can support women in trade work and be given your own “toolbox” that will help you advocate for more gender equality in your profession, no matter what it is.
