August 8-9, 2025: Print & Stitch w/ Erin Keane
TIME: 10:00 to 2:00 both days.
Create a small, beautiful volume of mono printed papers at Print House! This fun 2 day class is taught by a dynamic duo - Denise Markbreit: Printmaker and Print House Founder/Owner and Erin Keane: Book Artist and Educator.
In this class you will learn the basics and best practices of mono printing. Your printed pages will be bound into a book. The end result will be a tantalizing and tactile volume of your hand printed papers to cherish!
DAY ONE: Denise Markbreit will lead you in a fun and fast paced mono printing session using found textures, commercial and handmade stencils, and mark making. You will be encouraged to experiment, utilize your own imagery ideas, and may bring your own stencils and stamps to customize your pages. We will be printing by hand and with a press.
DAY TWO: Erin Keane will guide you through a woven long stitch binding process with her clear easy-to-understand instructions. Your finished book can be a straightforward portfolio of mono prints, or it can be developed into a mixed media journal with your creative collages, meanderings or musings.
Prior printmaking experience is helpful but not a prerequisite.
Class limited to 8 participants.

ERIN KEANE
BOOK ARTIST and EDUCATOR
Erin Keane is an encaustic artist and bookbinder who designs encaustic book sculptures and journals. She honors books as an art form and says "Books, how I love books. I love them brand new, pristine with blank pages, primed for possibilities. I love them softened and worn and filled with messy yet beautiful thoughts, words, and sketches. When I discovered bookbinding, I was stunned to my core and thought “I could do this every day… forever.”

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.
