Omg! I thought I was the only one who used a tortilla machine with stamps 😂🤣😅 I used my grandma's tortilla press with stamps maybe 10 years ago and I still use it, I did upgrade to a bigger one.

Would the tortilla press also work with etching?

You didn't describe how you modified the larger press.

Awesome! I'm wondering if you could do debossing with this method?

You keep saying a yoga mat. You mean an actual yoga mat used for yoga? Is there a substitute?

If you took the hinge off the one side to make the top floating and added another press arm on that side you could make an even pressure press

What kind of pvc you use with the lino too? Thank you so much

Great video, love your goal for accessibility for printmakers! Would this work for linoleum?

Is the print solid because you over-ink?

Amazing ✅ 👏

Wonderful stuff Joseph!

Guau! De prisa iré a mi tienda Mexicana! Impresionante!

🔥🔥👍

I'll be right back, just gonna go 'borrow' mi suegra's tortilla press LOL

Brilliant 😃😃😃

That's such a smart idea!

brillianr I love it

did this over 50 yrs ago in middle school. didn’t know one could earn a degree on a 500 year old invention i.e. gutenburg press

I can’t believe I’m Mexican and didn’t think in this before. Great idea!

Hi , just wondering if you will be making more large presses eg 8 by 10” for your store ? Great work , also please Consider shipping to Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

I have loved watching your printmaking videos for years. I just discovered that you are in Florida too.

NOW I NEED TO BUY ONE. no tortillas.

Hermoso trabajo, ojala continue subiendo videos. Gracias.

I see you rolling ink on that batman image but I don't really get how the white parts stay white. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how that graphic is set up.

Just came across your channel. So happy to have found it man. Cool stuff.

Thanks so much for this! I never thought about pvc. What thickness is it? I love the solid effect.

This is genius ✨💯

very cool! thx

This looks amazing thank you! Just wondering if you could also print thinner things like monotypes, or etchings/tetra-packs with this method? Thank you :)

I am just starting out with printmaking having a background in Art Education, however I worry about appropriation and utilizing a tool that is deeply embedded in the home life of a culture of which I'm not a part. I live and work in central California and Southern Arizona, both places I can easily and cheaply grab a tortilla press, but am hesitant due to the cultural implications of using one. Not necessarily trying to get a blanket statement, I'm just curious about your thoughts concerning this?

Hi Joseph. That's an inspiring video. I'm a printmaker here in northern New Mexico. I love the idea of using a tortilla press for my woodblocks and linocuts, but I'm hesitant because of local sensitivities about cultural appropriation since I'm an anglo. Do you have any thoughts/reassurances to share about that?

my professor mannnn

Thanks for sharing, I'm interested in trying this. How do you make the print plates?

Prints look great! I will have to try this out. Thanks for posting!

I'm SOOOO gonna order a tortilla press from your site!! Amazing!

WOW!!! that was so interesting. I really like the way you use just normal objects that one may have at home to use and get the same effect. Though I will ask, must one change the "tortilla" press in order to get the same results??? I was thinking on getting one as is, but now I'm wondering. I love this idea because I'm a crafter. thank you so much for sharing....will go to your website and check out your store.

Awesome results. A friend gifted me a large trunk, I want to convert it into a portable block printing press as remenicent as old news paper presses as possible. Other than torilla press, do you recommend other small press models I could try fitting in a trunk to travel round with? Weight wise, I'm hoping press can move round on a hand truck or be lifted by two people.

La Tortillería, Taller de Arte y Cultura, fantástico !!! 😻 Ahoritita (en mexicano) voy a hacerme una tortilladora manual para imprimir. Saludos desde Toluca

Great! But where can I purchase one of the larger tortilla presses?

Awesome!

I just bought a tortilla press at a thrift shop thinking I could do some printing with it. How lucky am I to come across this video! Thanks for showing us how it's done.

Fantastic! I love this video and your work!

where do get pvc from?

Ay Pepe! Está súper bueno esto entre el arte y las tortillas. Qué más se puede pedi! Saludos desde Yucatán 🤍

Clever.

PVC instead of linoleum (mind blowing meme) this is exactly the videos I give likes. I'm always searching for cheaper smarter better ways to do things and this is a perfect example. Gracias compadre! My passion for making lino prints it's renewed for now on call it PVC prints. Greetings from Mexico

So dope profe !!

Thank you for this video. I am such a print fan, I want to get some tortilla makers now.

Lit!!!

Magical!
