Printmaking classes at the Myers School of Art have created a unique Valentine’s Day exhibit in Folk Hall.

Advanced printmaking students used silk screening, intaglio, relief printing and collage to create miniature prints for the Fair Trade project. Students and faculty can leave a small, significant object and take a print in exchange.

Several shelves filled with the prints and objects, ranging from apples to movie ticket stubs to pictures of loved ones, can be viewed throughout next week.

The interactive process with everyone is the most important part of the Fair Trade Show, said Hui-Chu Ying, printmaking professor and coordinator of the exhibit.

Being able to see the array of art, as well as the objects that viewers leave behind, is what makes the show an interesting and constantly changing exhibit.
