Women in Design New Mexico
Over the past two years, our team has connected with many local designers through networking events and a few lunch & learns. One influential relationship we’ve established is with Women in Design NM, a volunteer-driven nonprofit with a focus on bringing designers together in celebration of women in the field of design through networking and education.

WiD: NM + Submaterial Event
This year, Women in Design Chair Noreen Kramme asked Submaterial if our team would host an event with their group. We were beyond excited to put on an event and decided to have attendees create their own mini sculptural felt wall panels. Originally intending to host 30 designers, we decided that our new building could accommodate a few more, and we went up to 40. Within a few weeks the event sold out and went on a wait-list (we never saw that coming!).
Setup
We set up five large tables with eight stations at each and designers quickly got to work staging their sculptures. Once they were happy with their layout, the hot glue was applied to secure each composition.
Networking
Modern Folk Ware
Design Works
Future Plans
We are considering hosting an event like this each year to purge our excess material before our Annual Open House in September to clear out our space.
