 the MILL celebrates the Lace Mill from its promising beginning as the US L
 ace Curtain Mill in 1903\, through its acquisition by the ill-fated Scrant
 on\, its IBM years\, to its decades of derelict abandonment\, up to its re
 naissance as RUPCO's award winning place-making design of 2015.We will exp
 lore the dedicated and ingenious technology of the Nottingham looms\, the 
 machines imported along with their skilled operators from England. But jus
 t as lace filters light and casts patterns of shadow\, the airy fantasies 
 of Gilded Age luxuries for the masses were spun out of share- cropped cott
 on often by the hands of children\; and forged by the hell of anthracite c
 oal mining. Run of the Mill also showcases lace as our human heritage\, an
 d journeys from nature's inspiration for lace\, to the many traditional ex
 pressions of handmade lace\, to machine made lace. We will culminate the e
 xhibit by honoring contemporary lacemakers and the reemergence of an unsun
 g handicraft as premiere textile art.\n\nOn Exhibition:\nArtifacts and Pho
