Color Me Mine

Came here to make a gift with my child and husband. The girl who greeted us was super sweet and agreed to let us pay $5 to rush the order by two days. The store is really cute and inviting.We picked out the item to decorate but when my husband asked for full pricing from a different associate she said because it's a weekend we have to pay $10 per person even though the sign says "10 per painter". We had one person painting and they had four empty tables. I would understand if they were swamped or had a wait.Not interested in getting nickel and dimed to pay $65 for a mug. You can see from my previous reviews I rarely write anything negative.We left empty handed.

This place is fantastic, my daughter made a Mother's Day gift here that needed some fixing, and they quickly assisted in making it right and refiring the mug, which was awesome

It is fun, relaxing and very entertaining. I will go back with my grandchildren. Adults have fun too.

I'm writing this review from the point of view of our 8-year old daughter, not from that of parents who have had an event at this studio. Our daughter loves art projects - water colors, sketches, crafts, ceramics. She has been to Color Me Mine on at least four occasions in the last six months, but has only one ceramic figurine to show for it. A bright red Angry Bird Money Bank. Because none of the others came home. They either cracked in the studio or in the home of the party host. One such mishap can be chalked down to bad luck or negligence, but three? I doubt it. More likely it has something to do with the way they process the ceramic figurines after the kids paint them. Which is a shame, because the kids have fun and the events seem well organized. On the latest occasion a few weeks ago, our daughter painted a seahorse, and she was so excited to bring it home. I even made it a point to speak to the Color Me Mine staff and told them to please be careful with her figurine as she loved painting it but was concerned she'd never get it. They expressed surprise, promised to take care of her seahorse, and even "made a note." Alas - it cracked before she got it. To say she was disappointed is an understatement. It is not fun to tell your kid that their lovingly painted figurine "broke". And likely even less fun to tell this to their friends. Which is why we are not planning to host any events here.

I was here for the first time, an early mother's day celebration. I loved the concept of picking the art and painting it. We really enjoyed it and the service was great, we were given instructions as what to do, how to do and lots of paints, and brushes of all kinds. I loved it so much that I am planning to hangout at this place and paint more of them.

I've been meaning to write this review for ages. I came here in October 2020, so prime pandemic time. I had a cute idea for a project to do with my new baby.I used their website to select the pieces that I wanted and the paint colors I needed for pick up the next day. The lady who helped me was super nice. When I showed up, she showed me the pieces I had selected and I actually wanted to change one out for a different tray. That wasn't a problem at all. She also showed me all the paints to see if I wanted any other colors, then packed everything up safely in a bag for me and rang me up.I did my thing at home and brought my pieces back to be glazed and fired. That is all part of the cost of purchasing the item so it's not extra. It was only a couple days and they gave me a call to say my pieces were ready. Again the lady who helped me when I showed up was so nice and showed me everything came out great before wrapping them up. I would happily come here again for at home painting or to paint in the little studio as it's in beautiful downtown Pleasanton.

Came in today on a whim and was so glad I did! I found the studio to be clean and surprisingly peaceful with soothing music playing in the background. Additionally, the staff was helpful and welcoming to my child who was on the young side and had never painted here before. (As it turns out, I did not get the kind employee's name but my receipt stated 'cashier 819'). This studio has a great selection of ceramics to choose from at a reasonable price. My daughter was also happy with all the different choices of paint colors and brushes. However, the employee did disclose they were backed up at least 2 weeks due to the influx of Spring Break customers. In the end, my child chose to personalize a very cute cupcake piece and had a wonderful experience doing so. We can't wait to see the end results and hopefully revisit this location.

Went here for the first time a couple days ago and the store had such a nice,warm,cozy vibe when I walked in (it did help that it was raining hard and they had the heater on) The place was full of people and a little crowded but thankfully there was one table left for us. Even with all the commotion, the staff on shift greeted us instantly were extremely courteous. They ran us through all the steps and even gave us tips on how to push out a better product. The activity itself was really funMy problem comes in with the tipping.. If they're able to make 90 dollars off two people painting some pottery they got online for probably 1/4th of what they're charging us, why don't they pay their staff enough so that they don't have to rely on tips? We (the customer) have to pick our own table, physically pick out our pottery, go and grab our own brushes and paints, and have to stand up and walk to the supply station to refill the paints and grab more supplies. So if we're the ones doing all the service, why do we have to tip? It's like tipping at a self-serve froyo place. Not at all blaming it on the staff as it's not their fault at all, rather, I think ownership should pay their workers more

I love color me mine. The staff are super sweet and caring. The selection is wide and very nice. I came here a couple of days ago and sat for 5 hours just painting my heart out. I recently got them a week or so ago. Will definitely be back with friends and family!

Great place to relax and create something . Prices are reasonable and they have a variety of ceramics to choose from. Staff are generally pretty nice and helpful. Got to learn new techniques. Might be a good idea to bring your own brushes as it was hard to find unsmooshed ones. Mine came out alright. Fun process !
