NO RESERVATIONS NEEDED!
WALK-INS WELCOME
Welcome to The Curious Kiln, our paint + pottery studio!
We are beyond excited to bring a space for open-ended creativity to friends near and far!
When we engage in the act of creating we are more closely aligned with our core selves, our own creator, and who we were made to be. By offering a space where people can get their hands dirty, make something beautiful, or even make something ugly, we are doing our part to bring people closer to center, and to truly make the world a happier, calmer, and more beautiful place.
So make some plans to get creative, gift an "experience" this season, set up a date night, or just waltz on into our creative space to see what strikes your fancy!
We can't wait to create something magical with you soon!

Now Booking Private Parties
Small group pottery painting parties happen in our private space inside The Curious Kiln: The Revelry Room! Here, you'll have access to your own mini-fridge, countertop ice maker, high-quality Bluetooth speaker to play your favorite tunes, and don't forget: the artistic atmosphere! Our space will be so inviting, you won't even need to bring party decor; unless - of course - you want to! The Revelry Room is great for smaller groups, and can seat 8 adults at tables for comfortable painting. For children - 10 painting participants can be seated comfortably. "Revelry Room" Reservations are charged a $75 non-refundable fee for private use of the space for a 2-hour window. At checkout, $25 can be applied to your bill to cover balances. Studio fees + pottery piece choices will be paid on the date of the event based on participation. For groups of more than 8 adults, or children's events geared towards attendees under the age of 8 (where parents might be inclined to stay for the duration), we do require groups to book a McHarper Manor private party with pottery programming in our larger workshop space. With any party reservation, you are welcome to bring your own food, drinks, treats, and favors! We have no restrictions on food, and encourage you to celebrate and feed your guests based on your specific needs and preferences. Need help planning food, or advice on how to prepare? We've hosted hundreds of parties and we're happy to give you our best suggestions, from which pizza place delivers square pieces for kids, to who should cater your shower! **For parties with 9 or more guests (any age) we highly suggest booking a full-service party experience in the McHarper Classroom / Workshop space. The creative party packages come complete with a dedicated party host / paint attendant for pottery painting events, or choose from our menu of other creative party projects. This space is suitable for hosting groups of up to 40 participants.
Hi there.
We're Tabitha and Tom, or just "The McHarpers"
We, and our team here at The Curious Kiln, can’t wait to meet you! You'll love spending time in our warm and inviting paint + pottery studio, located in Miami Township (Milford, Ohio). As huge lovers of art and nature, few things appeal to us more than clays, natural pigments, paints, glazes and inks! Tabitha grew up in ceramics studio environments most of her life, and Tom has always been eager to dive into anything clay or glaze related! We're excited to offer any-time “paint your own pottery” (traditional glazed and fired - or same day process) as well as “take-and-make” kits for any occasion. Choose from our stocked shelves of designer dishes, home decor, figurines, wood signs, pre-etched canvas, and fun seasonal favorites - then get to glazing! Spend time with the ones you love, or take yourself out for a self-care date! Whether you choose to drop in for our anytime pottery painting, or enroll in a class to build your clay or skills - our friendly staff will be there to welcome you and get you started on your next artful endeavor. We hope to see you in the studio soon! xo, The McHarpers
