Private Instruction:

Guided Projects:
Guided Projects is for Active Creatives, already established in their craft, and looking for help structuring and expanding their projects.
All creatives hit road blocks. Maybe you love to use your hands, but you are momentarily feeling dried up in creativity. Or maybe you are looking for mentorship to have confidence as you progress through a project. Or perhaps a little outside input is just what your practice needs to push you in new directions.
Whatever your reasons, you might appreciate the encouraging and organized help of artist Keith Garubba. In-person includes use of all studio materials. Remote Sessions also available.
Studio Time:
Studio time is offered to those who have demonstrated experience and safety with the hardware available at my studio. Primarily, this will be of interest to artists who wish to get some time on my printing press.
