August 13-14: Gelli Plate Comprehensive

$250.00

Workshop with Print House Founder, Denise Markbreit
August 13-14, 2026 | 10:00am - 2:00pm
Class tuition includes all materials

Join Denise for an immersive two-day exploration of Gelli plate mono printing at Print House. Gelli plates are versatile silicone tools that allow artists and crafters to create layered, painterly prints without a press using acrylic paint or traditional printmaking ink.

Over the course of two days, you’ll move beyond the basics into a deeper understanding of the medium—learning how to build complex layers, develop rich color relationships, and use a variety of techniques including stencils, masking, texture-building, and more refined registration methods. This expanded format allows time for experimentation, iteration, and developing a personal visual language within the process.

Designed for beginners and those looking to expand their printmaking practice, this workshop offers a balance of guided instruction and open studio-style exploration. Expect a playful, process-driven environment where surprise and discovery are part of the experience.

DENISE MARKBREIT — PRINTMAKER and CO-FOUNDER of Print House

Denise discovered Akua ink - a soy based, safer printmaking solution while at an artists’ retreat. It was a game changer for her printmaking practices. Delving into safer techniques, without solvents or chemicals, opened up a world of eco-friendly printmaking possibilities including Mokuhanga, Mokulito, Mixed Media printing and Solar Plate print matrixes. Denise has been hooked on green printmaking ever since!

In addition to her pursuit of printed fine art images, Denise creates hand printed home accessories, and print based mixed media images and sculptures. Denise also teaches printmaking classes and workshops.

In 2018 Denise founded the Asheville Print Studio + Gallery. After the devastation of Helene in 2024 she founded Print House with fellow printmaker, Anna Bryant, in 2025. Denise holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and an MST from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her fine art prints have been exhibited in numerous galleries and institutions across the country and reside in art collections worldwide.
