We recently had a birthday party there, as we went to another party in the past. They called to confirm that we could show up 15m ahead of time to set up. They showed up 10 minutes AFTER the party was supposed to begin. Kids were outside running around and it was pretty embarrassing. One person showed up to run the entire thing. It was complete chaos. She didn't explain anything. Kids were just grabbing stuff because they were so antsy from being outside waiting. It was just a horrible experience. It was completely different than what the party we went to was like. The worker was so quiet when I asked her to explain anything or help she felt uncomfortable. Instead of enjoying my daughter's party I felt like I was working there the entire time... grabbing paint for kids, explaining stuff, and helping them wash their hands. I would 100% recommend looking elsewhere if you're considering a party here. read more

Such a cute little place. We had a girls day here and painted some Christmas trees. They had the back room reserved and it was perfect. We were able to bring in some drinks and some small food to have as we painted. They reserved the room for 2 hours. The employee explained all that we needed to know and regularly checked on us to make sure we had clean water and if we needed anything. It was so much fun we planned to make it a yearly thing. The cost was reasonable and they have weekly specials for both young kids, teenagers and for people looking to get out of the house too! read more

I have been to Color Me Mine in Boulder a handful of times and always leave wishing I'd gone to Longmont's version, Crackpots, instead. The prices are slightly more expensive (and when you're paying an arm and a leg to paint pottery anyway, anything extra stings.) My biggest problem was the staff, though. The first visit, I found them overbearing and aggressive. I brought in the little girl I nanny for and I like to let her have complete control over her pottery (isn't that the point??) The woman (the manager I believe) insisted on the paint colors she picked for her pottery and at least twice took the pottery painting upon herself to "show" how it was done. I did not appreciate this. Not all of my experiences have been that bad (we went for their Christmas party with Santa which was really cute.) I just think for the price you pay, you should leave feeling a little more satisfied. read more

Ok, this place is fun. The host or whatever said feel free to ask any questions. But we didn't even know what questions to ask. Having experienced pottery in art class in high school i understood we wouldnt be taking our items home the same day. Studio fee was expensive, little pottery options was expensive. Soonest pickup was in 10 days. Kinda a bummer they didnt really explain much to us. My daughter did enjoy it. read more

Staff is helpful and friendly. It's expensive, and the items which went into the kiln for me were damaged, because they were fired at too high a temperature. If you go, use their paints, and expect to pay for the experience, you will probably not be disappointed. I used my own paints in an attempt to repair a piece which had been damaged in another studio -- and was therefore not completely happy. read more

Great service! Had a party of 6 here and stayed about 3 hours! The staff (particularly Cat) were terrific. Tons of pieces to choose from from cups to ornaments even a chips & dip plate and menorah! Thanks again! read more

CHARMING! Lisa, the owner was so warm + friendly. She took great care of us. Highly recommend spending some relaxing time here, we will be back! read more

We had a blast! We stayed for about three hours and it went by quick. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The only negative was it was a bit pricey. read more

I've been to Color Me Mine twice; once for a team building experience and once as a date night. Both times, the staff who greeted us were friendly but not particularly helpful or responsive. The first time I went, I didn't know that we could help ourselves to paint-- other pottery places I've visited preferred for customers to get paint refills by the staff. After waiting an awkward amount of time, I realized that the cart with paint was nearby and I was happy to refill my palette. We also didn't know where the other supplies were (cups for water, aprons etc) and kept trying to find the staff who seemed to disappear. I just wish that the staff person let us know what the process was so we didn't feel as though we were annoying the staff. The second time I visited, I knew the drill so the awkward guessing about the process was gone and we had a fantastic time. They were very attentive when I visited with work, giving us a great overview. All in all, the shop was nice and neat, had a ton of cool pottery pieces to choose from, and our pieces were done when they said they would be. We would visit again for sure! read more

Yay! Color Me Mine is awesome. Not only did they stay open late for our largish group of 8, they were also fun to work with, had great advice for the artistically challenged (me), but they played our choice of music on Pandora for a little inspiration. Overall, we all had an awesome time and would definitely go back again! read more

The owners take care to pick out pottery that is fun and functional, we did large bowls for our recent ramen obsession. Lisa helped us with cool techniques that no other pottery painting shop has taken the time to explain and assist with. I have not been to any of their classes or evening events but they sound fun. If you are looking for a fun afternoon or evening getting creative I would recommend Color Me Mind Boulder. read more

Absolutely loved Color Me Mine and am beyond pleased with our final projects. The girl working that night was very friendly and helped us out whenever we needed it. They have many projects to choose from and a huge color selection of paints, stencils, and stamps. Though the prices of the ceramics may be a bit expensive, they are going to be one of a kind unique pieces that you can not get anywhere else. Really something for everyone. read more

Color Me Mine - Made fun platters for game day and dinner gatherings. Love that they are unique! - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

A fun quirky atmosphere and creative fun! I like to just sit and paint, but the staff was more than willing to answer my questions when I had them and offer painting tips. It's hard not to get carried away with picking pieces out and spending all day there! read more

I painted a bowl and a few mugs here with some friends- we just spent the whole day in the studio and had a great time! They also offer free tea while you work which is nice. I had a minor issue with one of my mugs afterward because there was a little glazing drip that made it wobbly, but it was quickly addressed by the owner. Overall had a great time and will be returning again. read more

You don't have to be a child to love the place. Fun place to go once in a while. You can spend there several hours creating stuff. A bit pricy, but it's worth it. I would recommend it for cold winter days. read more

We have been bringing our daughter here for quite some time and have always had great experiences. We bring her in to create pieces fairly regularly and have also participated in their "kids night out" evenings. That staff has always been helpful, patient and attentive. Recommended. read more

We have been to Color Me Mine many times and have always had a great experience, but the most recent in December 2015 was really disappointing. First of all, one person on the staff made the experience not very enjoyable. The person was moody, aggressive, impatient, and obnoxious. They weren't at all right for working creatively with children. Secondly, the pieces are a bit overpriced. Last and worst, they did not handle our finished pieces properly. They lost one piece, completely destroyed another, and slightly messed up four others. For this, they only offered a credit (not a refund), which is disappointing given that this experience does not want to make us go back. Overall, Color Me Mine used to be a favorite activity, but hostile staff members and carelessness have destroyed its great character. read more

I wish I could give Color Me Mine no stars. Yes, you can go and paint overpriced ceramic pieces which is what they advertise, but the experience is awful. Many of the paints were low or out meaning those colors could not be used. Often the drawing paints (in squeeze bottles with fine tips) were crusted over and impossible to use. Some had pins in them to keep them from drying out, but apparently making sure that was the case for all of them was not a priority for the staff. Many of the paint brushes were dirty and had crusted on paint. This meant that one could get surprise colors on the piece when painting. The sponges were also dirty and couldn't be used for cleaning. Perhaps it was a personality difference but I found the staff grating. They offer 'useful' tips at the beginning of the painting process but are apathetic after that. Towards the end of our painting session, I gave up on trying to find working colors I wanted or getting tips from the staff. I also find it obnoxious that they charge a studio fee for each person (which is more for adults, yet children often are more wasteful) in addition to paying for the piece. I'm sad that I spent well over $50.00 for this experience and will NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. read more
