Another
Nashville Design Week
is in the Books!
Thank you to the 45 adventurous souls who attended our “Design for Reuse” lamp making event on October 30, 2023.
Each successfully made and took home their very own LED desk lamp originally designed from recycled parts. It wasn’t an easy task. But, as makers know all to well, nothing worth doing is ever easy.
And, thanks to the Nashville Design Week selection committee for choosing Make Nashville to host our second event in as many years. Looking forward to many more!
Wonderful things are happening at Make. Sign up for one of our bi-weekly open houses and see for yourself!
