It now serves as a miniature bank for my daughter as I teach her about counting and the value of saving money.

Paint to your heart's content, and the staff will glaze it before it is ready to be picked up at a later date.

We decided to try Color Café for a fun pottery painting outing. It was me, my two daughters, my…read moregranddaughter, and me, and we were looking forward to spending some creative time together. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be a great experience. * No blank pottery to paint - Everything available already had printed designs on it. We were hoping to paint our own plates, cups, or bowls, but there were no plain pieces available. * Very limited selection - The inventory felt small. We were told a party of 20 was coming in, and it seemed like the blank items might have been saved for them. * Unhelpful service - When we asked about options, the staff didn't seem very helpful or friendly. * Pricing - There's a $10 studio fee per painter, and many of the stamped platters were around $42 more, which felt expensive for items that were already pre-designed. Since there was nothing blank to paint, we ended up leaving without doing the activity. We were hoping to try something different from Color Me Mine, but unfortunately this visit didn't work out for us. We're going to Color Me Mine.

Let's get into customer service - Lulu was absolutely amazing to my friend and I who are not experts or artists in the slightest. I really wanted to do zebra print and Lulu walked me through how to do it and made me feel super confident. I ended up running out of time having to leave, but queen lulu offered to finish it for me! I could have come back as well but of course preferred her to do it lol. Picking it up was a total breeze as well. I love my new cup which I'm using as a toothbrush holder. I absolutely will be coming back and showing more friends!!

They have a good assortment of unpainted items to choose from and have a selection of seasonal prices that rotate in and out. The staff was helpful getting set up and explained good techniques for getting the best results.

So be sure to take a good look before just grabbing them. We enjoyed our time and were happy to see this place is still around.

On a cloudy Sunday morning, I stumbled upon Santa Barbara Arts and Craft Show on Cabrillo…read moreBoulevard. The show starts just after the boardwalk and lines the Cabrillo Blvd. I learned that this show is every Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. The show features arts and crafts including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, pottery and more. It was a delight to talk to the artist about their work in a very causal setting. Truly some unique pieces of art can be found at this show. Definitely worth a stroll if you are in town and heading to the beach. Parking can be found on Cabrillo Blvd or in the public parking areas. Note summertime can be very busy and tough for parking.

I recently completed the 4-week introductory pottery course and had a fantastic experience. The…read moreinstructors are incredibly patient and skilled at breaking down complex movements--like centering and pulling walls--into manageable steps that were easy for my brain to follow. The studio has a really wonderful, creative energy that I looked forward to every week. It served as a great 'sensory reset' and a way to focus purely on the tactile experience of the clay. Particularly seeing other members body of work. My only minor wish for the future would be a bit more shelf space for student projects! As I got more into the flow of creating, I found myself wishing there was more room to store work-in-progress pieces between sessions. Each purchase of a course provides access to membership hours where you can come in practice before the classes. They provide the base tools in a black case and if you need more clay it's $25. That being said, the quality of instruction and the community more than make up for it. I'm so happy with the projects I made and I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a new creative outlet! As a note there's a waiting list to become a member after completing the course. So don't hesitate!
