POP-UP : Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project with Art Circle
Casual Gathering to work on your Peace Flag for the Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project, a public art display of handmade peace flags that will be displayed as a shared expression of hope, unity and goodwill. Community members are asked to create peace flags that will be displayed together outside The Red Mill Museum Village and the Hunterdon Art Museum. Inspired by traditional prayer flags, community members are invited to participate in creating a piece reflects the maker’s personal interpretation of the question:
“What does peace look like to you?”
Through symbols, colors, words, images or textures, every flag becomes a message of peace carried outward into the world.
The Mill to Mill Peace Flag Project is part of Handwork 2026, Craft in America’s nationwide semiquincentennial collaboration showcasing the importance of the handmade and celebrating the diversity of craft that defines America.
How to Make a Peace Flag

Each flag begins with a 9-inch square of natural fabric—materials like cotton muslin, linen or wool are ideal. To prepare your fabric:

Cut your fabric to 9” wide x 10.25” tall.

Fold down the top 1.25” to create a 1” channel.

Sew the fold in place. This channel will allow the flags to be strung together like bunting.

*Important: Because the flags will hang outdoors and may eventually release fibers into the environment, only natural materials should be used. Please avoid glues (including hot glue), staples, plastics, synthetics and chemical inks. Use natural threads and non-toxic, water-based dyes and paints whenever possible. Flags may not contain symbols of hate or divisiveness. This is a curated exhibit; submission does not guarantee inclusion.
When complete participant can submit their flag

Bilateral Drawing Exercise with Aidan Mirowsky of Little Fire Studios
Bilateral drawing is a drawing exercise intended to reset your nervous system. By holding a drawing implement in each hand; the person tries to make marks that mirror each other along an invisible vertical line on the page. This meditative process that asks your body and mind to slow down; reconnecting with the moment as you concentrate on the paper and focusing on the process more what the image is.

This activity is inspired by a workshop at the Newark Art Museum as part of the 2025 Creating Healthy Communities convening and is intended to create an opportunity to try this reset for yourself. Utilizing simple supplies; reclaimed colored pencils and crayons with 18” x 24” pages lining tables that are marked with vertical lines. Participants will engage in Bilateral drawing on a large piece of paper for one, after the minute is up, participants will switch to the paper to their right and repeat as many times as they want to participate. No one person will create all the lines in the final drawing. The experience is theirs but the drawing is not theirs alone. As people leave, others are welcome to fill in. As the pages fill with lines they will be replaced with new blank pages. The blank pages will be tacked on a table lined with stripes.

All drawings will be saved for a future video art piece. The video is intended to create a visual of the pulse that tie us all together like a heartbeat of a Mother with child; but in this case it’s Mother Earth and all the participants are the children revealing the pulse our creativity creates as a community and the invisible line that art making creates as we center ourselves with through art.

Art Opening - Printer In Residence Show
2026-04-10 18:30 - 20:00
Set in Stone, Mariah McLaughlin’s culmination of a yearlong Printer-in-Residence, brings together a body of work that combines ceramics and screenprinting to expand the limits of traditional printmaking. By moving printed imagery onto clay and treating ceramic surfaces as sites for layering, repetition, and variation, the work expands screenprinting beyond a t-shirt or paper.
At the center of this process is an interest in line, texture, and composition. Using a small set of visual sources, each piece becomes an opportunity to rearrange, distort, and rebuild imagery in new ways. Repetition is not used to produce sameness, but to generate difference: subtle shifts in placement, color, surface, and material create unexpected relationships between mark and object.
The resulting works exist between printing and sculpture, image and artifact. Set in Stone reflects an ongoing exploration of how a traditional print process can be translated, disrupted, and reimagined through clay.
