SUMMARY -- PRINTERS PLANET TAOS 2025

We had a great Memorial Day weekend printmaking in TAOS, NEW MEXICO -- during THE PRINTERS PLANET pop-up print market, on May 24th and 25th, 2025:


THE PRINTERS PLANET pop-up print market in Taos was at the STABLES GALLERY on the grounds of the TAOS CENTER FOR THE ARTS:

The TEMPORARY TATTOOS were an unexpected highlight.  DANIEL ALLEN was the hero as he carved several tattoos on the spot, from pink carving rubber, and stamped many willing visitors:

PRINTERS PLANET TAOS 2025 -- RISO DEMO

ANNA ARAGON gave a demo of her RISO  GOCCO printmaking machine:


Apparently they do not make RISO PRINT GUCCO kits anymore, but one can find them on Ebay. The company has gone on to make RISOGRAPH machines.

The other print vendors gather around ANNA ARAGON
