It's Fine Press Friday!
On this final Friday of 2023, we end the year with a slightly different fine-press production, issues 1 and 7 of the Mexican arts journal La Jícara, published in San Crístobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, México by Taller Leñateros in 1994 and 1997. These issues were silkscreen printed on craft paper sprinkled with atol agrio, a characteristic masa-drink of San Cristóbal de las Casas, under the direction of Taller Leñateros founder Amber Past and art director Estela Hernández.
Past, an American-born Mexican poet, founded Taller Leñateros in 1975 as a Mayan book arts collective in Chiapas. La Jícara, which refers to a bowl or cup made from a gourd, was developed as a literary, artistic, and historical journal to preserve and promote Mayan and mestizo culture.

Mas que una bebida deliciosa, el chocolate es un legado de cultura y tradición, y el chocolate Oaxaqueño es un gran ejemplo de esto.
Se cree que fue Quetzalcóatl, enviado por los dioses, quien trajo la planta del cacao a México para ayudar a los hombres. Sin embargo, una vez que se conoció como tostar las vainas, empezaron a molerlas y batirlas para preparar una bebida solo digna para nobles y sacerdotes. Este chocolate era también antiguamente utilizado para dar solemnidad a determinados rituales sagrados.
