Stories Behind the Craft

High Desert Makers is about more than the things people create. It’s about the people, ideas, hard work, and determination behind them. Across New Mexico, makers and small-business owners are building something of their own, often starting with little more than a skill, an idea, and the willingness to keep going.

Through these stories, we’ll meet the people behind the work, learn how they got started, what they’ve overcome, and what keeps them creating. From woodworkers and artists to craftspeople and entrepreneurs, High Desert Makers is a place to celebrate New Mexicans who are building something worth sharing.
