StoneTriggerPress

I built my studio from local stone and sand, which I hauled by the truckload. The rock is from a friend’s land at the top of  Sierra Negra, which sits on the edge of the Colorado Plateau near Abiquiu. All my materials, except the propanel roof, were locally sourced. I hand-dug the foundation, and the footers were created by layering rock and cement, then little by little, we built up the 24” thick walls. The top section of the studio is adobe brick from the Alcade Abode factory in Northern New Mexico. There is no water or electricity as I work by the daylight. 

The 750 square foot studio has three Charles Brand etching presses ranging in printing size from 11” x 17 to 24” x 36.” Beginning in late summer 2022 I will be offering a select number single day and 5-day printmaking and bookbinding workouts. Please sign up for my newsletter for more information.
