About Us
Happy Little Art Studio is an art studio for children located in the Four Corners neighborhood in Silver Spring, Maryland.
At Happy Little Art Studio we believe that all students are capable of coming up with good ideas. We teach our young artists how to develop these ideas into original finished works of art. The focus of our curriculum is creative thinking and independent decision making. Our classes are extremely small and this allows us to offer a completely diversified and powerful experience.
Classes are held at the Silver Spring Day School, located at 33 University Blvd. East, Silver Spring, MD 20901.
The art studio is downstairs in the Silver Spring United Methodist Church Building.

Michelle Tebor - Founder and Director
Michelle has devoted her life to working with young people in the creative arts. Starting fresh out of high school, she ran summer arts programs in Virginia and Vermont. She graduated from Longwood University with a B.F.A. in Art Education in 2002 and pursed teaching in Virginia, Florida and The District of Columbia. Prior to starting a family, Michelle worked for six years at The Lab School of Washington, an arts integrated school for students with learning differences, as an elementary art and music teacher. After the birth of her twin daughters in 2010, she turned her focus towards her work as an artist and an activist. In 2017, Michelle started Silver Spring Creative Reuse, a community project that aims to collect unwanted art and office supplies and donate them to our local classrooms. This project has already collected and donated over four tons of supplies to teachers in our area. Over the past few years, Michelle has also been working as the art teacher at Silver Spring Day School. Now the mother of three beautiful children and with many years of teaching experience under her belt, she is thrilled to announce the launch of the Happy Little Art Studio.
