August 13-14: Gelli Plate Comprehesive — Using Acryllic and Akua ink

$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.

DETAILS

Level: All levels, no prior printmaking experience required.
Date: August 13 - 14, 2026
Time: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

DENISE MARKBREIT — PRINTMAKER and CO-FOUNDER of Print House

Denise Markbreit, co-founder of Print House, is a lifelong printmaker and educator with a deep knowledge of print processes. Nearly 20 years ago, discovering Akua ink at an artist retreat marked a turning point in her practice, sparking an ongoing commitment to building the safest, most environmentally conscious print studio possible—one that protects her health as well as that of the students and collectors who move through the studio and gallery.

A multidisciplinary artist, Denise’s work centers on woodblock and monoprint techniques, exploring themes of landscape, memory, and shadow. She works in the space between abstraction and representation, drawing on her affinity for wabi-sabi and Japanese aesthetics. Her visual language extends across printmaking, textile work, constructions, and mixed media, often incorporating a strong sense of drawing throughout.

In 2018, Denise founded Asheville Print Studio + Gallery. Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene in 2024, she co-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 prints, constructions, and textiles have been exhibited in numerous galleries and institutions across the country and are held in art collections worldwide.
