Keith is the type of person who can brighten up anyone's gloomy day just by his smile and the way he says hello! His studio is warm and inviting plus when I take a class with Keith , I all of a sudden get this creative explosion that makes me feel like I can conquer the artistic world and he makes me feel like I can.
... Inspiring, playful, clear, and knowledgeable. I had a wonderful experience marbling paper in his new spacious and well-appointed Whistling Studios. My class mates were fun and supportive too.
I signed up for this class just to try something totally different and to my surprise it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time, I felt like a kid again!
