About YESUL HOUSE

A Home for Curious Creators

At YESUL HOUSE, we believe art is more than something children make.

It’s a way to wonder, experiment, ask questions, solve problems, and see the world a little differently.

YESUL HOUSE was created as a space where children can slow down, get curious, and explore ideas through art. Instead of simply following step-by-step instructions to create a finished project, our experiences invite children to discover, experiment with materials, and make something uniquely their own.

Why “YESUL HOUSE”?

Yesul (예술) is the Korean word for art.

But YESUL HOUSE is about more than the word itself.

We chose HOUSE because we wanted to create the feeling of a place children can return to—a warm, welcoming space where creativity feels at home.

A place to wonder.

A place to make.

A place to belong.

Cora HyunJung Kim

- Owner& Art Instructor

Cora is a passionate artist, educator, and creative with a lifelong love of art and design. Trained through elite, exam-entry art middle and high schools in Korea, she went on to earn her BFA there, followed by an MFA in Fine Art from CSULB.

A mom of two boys, Cora has a natural gift for connecting with kids and drawing out their creativity. She finds beauty in nature and everyday moments, and that inspiration shows in her deep appreciation for color, culture, and design.

At Yesul House, she brings warmth, energy, and a playful approach to her teaching, and loves helping students build confidence while making something they're proud of.

Our Philosophy

We want children to leave YESUL HOUSE with more than something they made with their hands.

We hope they leave with a new question, a new idea, a little more confidence, and the feeling that their imagination is worth exploring.

Because sometimes the most meaningful thing a child creates isn't the artwork itself.

It's the way they learn to see.

Come curious. Leave inspired.
