Jo Andersen from Tucson, took pictures from last year's Southwest Print Fiesta 2022, and printed those photos with a photogravure process.  Then she made handmade books to  Manuel Guerra and Adriana Zavala, as they were featured in the book:

Adjacent to the Print Fiesta Vendor's Market was a Maker's Market, where we encountered a table from Future Forge Makerspace of Silver City.  As they just got a nice new laser cutter, we gave them a stack of 6x6 inch linoleum squares to engrave, and of course make prints:

In addition to sponsoring the Southwest Print Fiestas, the Power and Light Press in Silver City has an Artist Residency:
