About Us

Little Yellow House Art (LYHA) is a vibrant art enrichment program dedicated to nurturing creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts through hands-on, in-person experiences.

For over 12 years, we’ve partnered with independent schools and community organizations across Los Angeles to provide engaging after-school programs and summer classes. Our curriculum is designed to spark joy in learning through making, exploring, and imagining.

From thematic art classes to seasonal camps, our offerings take place at schools, local parks, recreation centers, and our welcoming home studio. LYHA also creates custom, in-person art programs tailored to meet the unique goals of each learning environment and the needs of the students we serve.

Examples of Enrichment Program Class Themes

Harry Pottery

Students channel the magical world of Harry Potter using ceramics and learning clay techniques.

Medieval Clay

Students explore some popular themes from almost 1,000 years of culture and art. Castles, dragons, coats of arms, and more will be created while using basic hand building techniques.

Star Clay

Using their imagination and a lot of clay, students use the method of hand building to bring their favorite characters from the movie and book series to life.

Dragons, Myths, and Monsters . . "Oh my!"

Students explore the world of monsters and mythological creatures by creating their own interpretation with clay. The pieces are created using basic hand building techniques.

Woodworking for Beginners

Students will use fine motor skills to forge a strong connection between the hands and the mind. They are encouraged to try new ideas, exercise their imagination and creativity, and are allowed to make mistakes in a safe environment. Students will learn how to use tools safely, effectively, and (ultimately) independently.

The Shape of Clay

With clay and their knowledge of basic shapes, the students will create different forms of vessels and sculptures by rolling, squishing, slicing, and using basic hand building techniques.

Madhatter's "Clay" Tea Party

Combining the whimsy of Caroll's characters and settling of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," students will use their imagination to bring to life the Madhatter's tea party. From footed teapots and stacked, whimsical tea cups, to unbirthday cakes; re-creating this festive feat will feed the artist in any child.
