- Ornamental blacksmith William Flores runs the oldest blacksmithing business in town, a living link with an earlier Tucson.
- Ramona Franco's family has maintained an elaborate altar to Our Lady of Guadalupe for three generations.
- Signmaker Paul Lira, responsible for many of Tucson's most interesting signs, brings to his work a thoroughly "mexicano" sense of aesthetics and humor.
- Muralists David Tineo and Luis Mena proclaim Mexican cultural identity in their work and carry on a tradition that has blossomed in the last twenty years.
Featuring a foreword by Tucson author Patricia Preciado Martin and a spectacular gallery of photographs, many by Pulitzer prize-winning photographer JosA(c) Galvez, this remarkable book offers a close-up view of a community rich with tradition and diverse artistic expression. "Hecho a Mano" is a piAata bursting with unexpected treasures that will inspire and inform anyone with an interest in folk art or Mexican American culture.
