Join us for a festive Oktoberfest-themed workshop at Walls of Clay, held the night before downtown McKinney’s Oktoberfest festival! On Thursday, September 26th, choose between glazing a stoneware stein or a large tumbler. Our expert Creatologists will personally guide you through the glazing process, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

Your high-fire clay pieces are both stylish and functional—oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Best of all, we’ll have your creations kiln-fired and ready for pick-up by Friday, September 27th, after 7:00 PM. This means you can use your custom-made mugs throughout the entire festival!

Don’t miss this chance to create a unique piece of stoneware and make the most of Oktoberfest. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and get ready to toast in style!  BYOB

Step 1: Paint Your Piece

Our team of Creatologist will give you a tutorial on how our specialty high fire glaze work.  We have several color combinations to choose from and no two are alike – this is the nature of high fire stoneware.
