CARVE-IT -- Tessellation Prints at HECHO A MANO gallery

We made 5 collaborative EXQUSITE TESSELLATION PRINTS during the CARVE-IT event at HECHO A MANO gallery in Santa Fe on September 14, 2024:

with a scrapbook of some individual tessellation tile prints


The inking and tessellation printing table


The participating printmakers contributed "hat" Tessellation tiles to make larger prints:
