Still looking for a summer camp or experience with a little extra space to get creative?

We offer camps for 5+ @ McHarper Manor. However, the afternoon Studio Creators camps are perfect for artists entering 4th grade and up (or younger creators who are mature, independent, and excited about more involved projects).

But here’s a little insider tip: some of these camps currently have very small enrollment numbers.

That means:
✨ More individual attention
✨ More time to explore techniques
✨ More room for creativity and personal expression
✨ A relaxed environment where artists can really settle into the process

These aren’t your typical “keep them busy” camps. They’re made for kids who love creating, asking questions, trying new things, and diving a little deeper into their art.

Whether they’re into pottery, drawing, painting, mythical creatures, collectibles, entrepreneurship, or mixed-media projects, there’s something fun waiting for them this summer.

📅 Be sure to tap through June, July, and August to see all available camp options.

At McHarper Manor and The Curious Kiln, we believe curiosity matters more than perfection—and sometimes the best creativity happens in a smaller group.

We’d love to create with your family this summer. ❤️

☀️ SUMMER HOURS START TOMORROW! ☀️

More time to paint, create, unwind, and make a little happy mess this summer at The Curious Kiln 🎨

We’re extending our walk-in hours for the season so you have more opportunities for:
• family paint nights
• rainy day creativity
• girls’ nights
• date nights
• air-conditioned “please get these kids out of my house” adventures
• and spontaneous “I deserve a little treat” pottery moments

🖌 Summer Walk-In Hours (May 25–August 9)

Monday: CLOSED
Tuesday: 10 AM – 6 PM
Wednesday: 10 AM – 6 PM
Thursday: 10 AM – 6 PM
Friday: 10 AM – 9 PM
Saturday: 10 AM – 9 PM
Sunday: 12 PM – 5 PM

No reservations needed for walk-in pottery painting! Just come create with us.

A quick reminder:
Projects must be started at least 1 hour before closing time so everyone has enough time to enjoy the process without speed-painting like they’re on a reality competition show. 😅

We can’t wait to spend the summer creating with you. 💛

Our updated summertime hours for walk-in creativity begin next week! ⏰ We’re adding Tuesdays back into the mix and opening at 10am.

Join us soon for some intentional memory making opportunities ☀️❤️

Warmer weather is finally here, school days are ending… let the fun begin! ☀️

Celebrate the season with a little creativity—stop into the studio at Curious Kiln, pick your favorite piece, and spend some time painting, relaxing, and making something uniquely yours. It’s the perfect way to unwind, cool off, and kick off summer vibes! 😎
