ABOUT US
Hello there! We are Tabitha and Tom Harper. Together, we have 4 beautiful kids, a pack of fur babies, and LOADS of creativity! Our blended family is much like a modern Brady bunch; a little “his, mine and ours”. Our McClung and Harper kids are equally important. Our family is often lovingly referred to as “The McHarpers”, and McHarper Manor was born.
We hope that our studio always portrays the close-knit and nurturing vibe of our family, as we hope to share our love of art, learning, growing, and creativity with you and yours. Our studio has become a place for local artists to teach their skills and for students of all ages with a passion for creativity to learn something new. We truly believe in the power of visual arts and craft experiences to heal and nurture our hearts and minds. Because of this, we try to cover a variety of mediums and creative opportunities to engage and inspire people in our community and beyond. Incredible experiences, blossomed skills, and close knit community come from these collaborations. With the right environment and instruction, we can all make beautiful things.

We can’t wait to create something amazing with you soon.
