              With String                 

 
               These  prints were made with string plates.  Students developed ideas for their designs on separate pieces of paper and then they carbon transferred their image to a cardboard piece which became their plate for printing.  They traced with glue over their drawn image putting the string down.  The raised surface then was inked and printing was done by putting the plates through an etching press.  String prints give an unusual textural quality.  These prints also flash brilliant colors and great creativity.
