History

Established in 2009.

Power and Light Press is a letterpress print shop based in Silver City, New Mexico. Here at Power and Light, I take great pride in the pursuit of fine craftsmanship, but I work just as hard to hone a juvenile, sometimes inappropriate sense of humor. I specialize in off-​color greeting cards and occasionally do custom work such as business cards, event posters, music packaging, invitations, and stationery.

I am a one-​woman shop and do all design, illustration and printing in-​house on my 1926 cast iron Chandler & Price Craftsman press. Each card is hand-​fed, one color at a time, the old fashioned way. As a maker of things, I am keenly aware of my footprint in this world, and so I work exclusively with 100% PCW papers, and use recycled envelopes and compostable sleeves for packaging.

Business Owner

My name is Kyle Durrie, and I am the proprietor of Power and Light Press.

I am inspired by paper, wobbly lines, history, overheard conversations, logs, whiskey, trains, the color brown, roadside Americana, the Wild West, dogs, salt water, maps, and vintage office supplies, among other things.

I also love crossword puzzles, swimming in creeks, green chile, adventures, and occupying small spaces.
