Fat Crow Press -- Summary (September 2023)

We had a great time showing and making prints at FAT CROW PRESS in Las Vegas, New Mexico -- during the First Friday Gallery Crawl on September 1st, 2023:




We got on the front page of the Las Vegas Optic newspaper, September 8, 2023:

Las Vegas, New Mexico








Julie Sola owns Fat Crow Press, a letterpress shop.  She spent a couple of decades before in Nashville, making prints at The Country Music Hall of Fame with Hatch Show Prints:



How we met 
JULIE SOLA

We met Julie Sola several times this year (2023) in Santa Fe.

We first met her at Hecho A Mano gallery at the top of Canyon Road, during PRINT SANTA 2023, while we were making prints outside on the Tortilla Press:
Then we met her again at the first PRINTERS PLANET Pop-up vendor market, at the Santa Fe State Fair, on June 24th, 2023:
Finally we met Julie Sola's team at The PRINTERS PLANET Festival in the Santa Fe Railyard on August 13, 2023:



MAKING PRINTS

We made prints on the street in front of Fat Crow Press.  Anna Aragon helped us with our Tortilla Press, and also made Gelli prints inside:



Julie Sola carved a round roadrunner that day, just to print on our Abusa Tortilla Press:



We printed round linocuts from Julie Sola, Anna Aragon, and Ellie Weadock:



We got the idea to use a Tortilla Press from 3 Gatos Press in Guadalajara.  We also followed their lead by carving round linocuts, to print like tacos.  We even sent them some round linocuts to print in Guadalajara.







LAS VEGAS,
New Mexico
Las Vegas, New Mexico is an interesting town, so we did some sight seeing:



The Dwan Light Sanctuary is on the campus of the United World College, and was gifted by Virginia Dwan, with contributions by Charles Ross and architect Laban Wingert (Charles Ross is also working on Star Axis):
