Monoprint Comprehensive with Print House Founder, Denise Markbreit
April 18–19, 2026 | 10:00 am – 2:00 pm (daily)

This two-day monoprint comprehensive is an in-depth exploration of monoprinting techniques designed for students ready to expand their skills beyond an introduction.

Emphasis will be placed on developing a personal visual language while strengthening technical confidence and workflow. This immersive format allows ample time for experimentation, refinement, and critical discussion.

DENISE MARKBREIT

PRINTMAKER and FOUNDER-OWNER 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.
