They have new artists coming in every two months and all of them will be women and/or LGBTQ artists. It was a free show to attend and on the first day they had light bites and drinks. It felt like attending a friend's art showing. It was very intimate and sweet. This place also doubles as a meeting place and photo spot.

To rent it for a meeting, it's $100/hr with two hour minimum. If you read more about this space online, you find that "Yellow House was created to be a gathering place for people to have thoughtful and meaningful conversations in mind."

It's in the lesser known neighorhood of Langdon in NE DC (south of Brookland). The building itself is historic and giant. It's well kept maintaining its old charm. Inside are art studios for a collection of DC small businesses and creatives. Twice a year they open the warehouse to the public to showcase each studio's work. As you wander throughout the building, talk to the artists, enjoy the snacks they lay out in each room, and get to know their stories. Many of them are native to this city and express their perspectives through their beautiful art.

It's super affordable, and they provide wine, nonalcoholic beverages, and snacks! If you're looking for a creative date night or just a fun way to unwind, this is it. Full .

Anyway, I've never sat at a pottery wheel before but thanks to the incredible instruction facilitated by the small class size and the relaxed atmosphere I had a blast.

I had so much fun and was so encouraged by the experience I'm considering a membership to explore the hobby further. At the least I'll be taking more classes. Highly recommend the classes and studio to anyone and everyone. I'm the beginningest beginner possible and I couldn't have had a better time.

Matthew was a fun, energetic, patient teacher. Even when my kids and a few others were running around, it did not bother him one bit. I really enjoyed partnering with my son and daughter to create a dance or set of movements. You do not have to be an experienced dancer to enjoy the class, as the movements are very easy to follow and create. I broke into minimal sweat and felt like I had completed a light workout after 90 minutes. Good for all ages and levels or fitness. This is a good class for families, seniors, and kids all at the same time.
