Our object this month is a design from our collection which will be featuring in our upcoming exhibit Pattern & Process: Industry and the Individual. The exhibit showcases dozens of designs from the Bates Mill during its operation, as well as various pieces created by artists located here in Maine. This print pictured is just one of many that will be available for public viewing, with the designs ranging from florals and stripes to racecars. The show opens February 6th — drop in and check out all the never-before-displayed designs and stay for our guided tours of the machines used to turn them from designs to products!
