A 5 Week Artistic Journey with Hirut Yosef✨

There’s still space to jump in for the final 5 weeks of this vibrant artistic exploration with Hirut Yosef - illustrator, fashion designer, and graphic artist.

Each session invites young artists to explore identity, culture, and creative voice through hands-on, process-driven work.

Born in Gondar, Ethiopia, Hirut’s artistic journey spans continents and cultures. After immigrating to Israel in 1984 and earning her BA in Fashion Design, she later lived in Istanbul where she created her vibrant illustration series Mulu and The Beta Clan. Inspired by her African roots, Ethiopian heritage, and a love of street art, hip-hop, and soul culture, her work is a bold blend of tradition and modern expression.

Hirut currently teaches art at KIPP WHMS and brings deep care, creativity, and joy into every class.

If your child loves to imagine, experiment, and create, we’d love to welcome them for the remaining 5 weeks.

Come create with us! Have questions? Reach out to [email protected] or [email protected]
