$50Event Navigation
Pick a date! Whether you are a grown-up or almost one (great for teens too)…reserving our party room is super fun & super easy and a great way to guarantee seating – especially during our busy season!
Our time slots in our party room follow a strict two (2) hour schedule. Please note that we will ask you and your guests to vacate the room immediately at the two (2) hour mark. For obvious reasons, this can be uncomfortable for both staff and guests and the very last thing on earth we want to do is make our guests squirm. But there is a very good chance we have a party coming in after yours, so please be mindful and courteous and adhere to this policy. Due to the size of our private room (11′ x 17′), we max out at 12 painters.

TERMS & CONDITIONS (a.k.a. nitty gritty / the stuff you REALLY should read)
Walls of Clay has been in downtown McKinney for 18+ years. Our practices, policies and procedures are fair. Our number one goal is to provide an awesome experience for our guest(s) and our policies allow us to do just that.
Your deposit is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend for any reason; such as schedule conflict, emergency, illness or weather-related, please notify us by phone at 972.547.4472 or email (info@wallsofclaymckinney.com). You may call or email anytime and be sure to leave a message if it is before/after studio hours. If we receive advanced notice, your payment will be held on account and applied towards another like event in the future.
Credits do not expire, NO shows, however, will not receive a refund or credit, your payment will be forfeited in the event you do not notify us.
Deposits, payments and credits cannot be applied to other services, events or merchandise. No shows will not receive a refund or credit.
You are required to reach a minimum of $200 before tax. After your guests select their pieces to paint (or glass to fuse) our staff will do our best to do a quick courtesy tally to see whether or not you have reached the $200 minimum. If you are below, we will let you know the shortage and give you an opportunity to paint something in addition, switch a lesser piece for a more expensive one, add-on, etc. If you choose to not paint an additional piece or switch and fall below the minimum of $200, the amount of the shortage will be deducted from your $50 deposit.
Here are some examples:
Example 1:
Let’s say your courtesy tally is $175, which is $25 short of the required $200. After notifying you, the host/hostess, you decide to paint an additional dinner plate for $25. Eazy peazy…your group has reached the minimum pottery amount and we will apply your entire $50 purchase towards the amount.
Example 2:
Similar to example 1, your courtesy tally is $175, which is $25 short of the required $200. After notifying you, the host/hostess, you decide your private event was more about having fun, getting together and everyone seems happy painting what they already chose and you decide NOT to add anything or switch out a piece of pottery and in the end, your total (before tax) is short $25. Not a problem, we will deduct the $25 shortage from your $50 deposit and will apply the difference of $25 (verses $50) towards your purchase.
The remaining balance, if there is one, is due at the event. We accept cash along with all major credit cards. Checks are NOT accepted for final payment.
Do to the nature of kiln-fired arts, slight imperfections can occur. And on rare occasions, kiln fired pieces can crack, shatter or do the unexpected during the firing process. While we take every precaution to ensure that this does not happen, there are some factors that are beyond our control. If a piece cracks or shatters, a credit will be issued along with a ginormous apology because we hate to see bad things happen to your creations.
Please note that we will ask you and your guests to vacate the room immediately at the two (2) hour mark. For obvious reasons, this can be uncomfortable for both staff and guests and the very last thing on earth we want to do is make our guests squirm. Please help us in adhering to this policy.
