About

The Little Studio was founded by Michelle Fleck in 2016 as a place for girls to develop their confidence and self-expression through art. We focus on exploration of real artist's materials like paint, watercolor, clay, sewing and textile arts, and other open-ended mediums. The Little Studio provides a warm and nurturing small-group setting that fosters social interaction, creative problem-solving skills, play, laughter and joy.

Michelle is a teacher, mom, artist and muralist and has a degree in Fine Art from San Francisco State University and an Early Childhood Director Permit, as well as over 15 years experience teaching young children in various settings. Michelle has been a teacher in many settings in San Francisco including as a Head Teacher at One Fifty Parker Avenue School for 12 years. When not spending time in the classroom being inspired by young makers, she enjoys exploring the Bay Area with her husband and 4 year old daughter, cooking, listening to music, and hiking.
