Great place to go with the kids for a relaxing Sunday family activity. Super helpful and friendly staff. Definitely coming back!

A great little spot to try something different for date night. We are here on a Monday for a bit of ceramic painting. The space is very open, with lots of tables and lots of pieces of pottery stacked on the shelves around the store. There were two ladies working that evening who told us to pick our piece and they would come tell us what we needed to do. I went for a big mug ($19). We nabbed a table by the window and one of the ladies came over and began to explain the process. The lighting by the window tables isn't the best, so I would avoid sitting here. Once we decided on our colors, the lady nabbed them for us, and we began painting our pieces. All in all, it was a really enjoyable experience. We posted our pictures on Instagram, tagging the shop and we each received 50% off the studio fees.I picked the pieces up one week later, and they looked fantastic. Street parking is tricky in this part of town, but there are a couple of structures (one on DeLacey, one on Green st) which offer 90 mins free. read more

Such a wonderful experience! All the employees were eager to help & provided excellent service. Very peaceful activity and a fun place! read more

Great activity for kids! Accommodated for outdoor seating for those with covid concerns.

So much fun! Can't wait to get our final pieces back after being glazed and fired in the kiln! The only thing was that the service charge for groups and the additional gratuity was much more than we expected. Unfortunate but we would still want to go back again soon. It's a fun activity to do with friends! read more

I have been coming to this place since high school and I'm currently in graduate school! The experience is sooo precious and unique, will visit again and again! read more

I've visited a few Color Me Mines and this location is my favorite! It can get busy but the service is still helpful and it's been a nice place to paint! I also love that the selection is unique and I always find something new and fun to paint. Getting the finished product has always been simple and my pieces come out perfectly! I definitely recommend visiting here! read more

Originally a 1 star review, however the manager Kathryn looked up my info in their system and took the time to call and address the situation. Long story short there was an issue with a promotion that they had and that the staff handled less than acceptably. So Kathryn called and was very polite and actually explained the policy (makes perfect sense once it's explained properly) anyway, she offered a refund from her own pocket, which I refused but the gesture was enough to restore my faith in the level of customer service here. She insisted on rectifying the situation so that I would hopefully feel confident in choosing this location in the future (successfully done). As stated in my original review, they were friendly (other than the mishap) and the studio has what you need to create a nice custom glazed art piece, especially fun for kids and have a very fast turn around time for pick up. Note to the owners: you hired a great manager in Kathryn and it is only because of her that I will bring my business back there! read more

I stopped by for their first Friday special which includes a late closing (midnight), live music, $1 studio fees, and byob. Staff Allison was amazing. She took time to actually break down things for us and made herself available if we needed anything. That little bit of effort from her would make me come again. Location This is the first Color Me Mine that I've been to so I don't have anything to really compare it to. However, I did feel like it was a bit cramped. The tables were close together and even right next to the shelving that carries the ceramic pieces. Having the ceramic pieces so close to the tables made it really hard to look at the product offering without getting in the way of other guests. Parking Meters and structures. Pricing Ceramic pieces vary in prices; $12 and up. From what I saw was that studio fees are about $7 but if you go on the first Friday of a month they're a $1. Overall I'd go again, especially if it's the first Friday of the month. Drinking, painting, listening to soothing music, saving some money- all make for a great night. Tip Give yourself time to paint (2+ hours) Make it a girls night or date night Make a reservation to save yourself the hassle *Pieces take about a week to be fired up so you'll have to go back and pick it up or pay for shipping. read more

This was such a great experience paining with friends. Great customer service and loved how nice everyone was.

This was my first time at this location and it was a great experience! The blonde girls and the girl with curly hair were so sweet and helpful! We will definitely be coming back read more

Thank you for your presence at this year's Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA Wiggle Waggle Walk. The free paw prints on tiles and bowls were such a special treat and something that will be cherished in our pup's forever home. The pick up process was very well organized and after receiving an email that the tile was all fired up and glazed, was happily greeted by friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back to make my own artistic mark for the upcoming holiday gifting season. read more

Color Me Mine - Thank you for my pawfect print! - Art Classes Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm definitely a fan of this place. It is an interesting activity that is well worth the price. So, you can make reservations; however, we took a chance at a walk-in and they squeezed us in. It is very simple. You pay a $10 studio fee per person, which covers your admission and your paints and supplies. You then choose your colors and your ceramic piece. After that, it is up to you to paint until your heart is content. You usually have to put at least 2 to 3 coats on, so plan on staying for a while. After that, you pay for your pieces, and then they fire them and you pick them up about a week later. I heard that this place does First Fridays where you get a reduced studio fee, and you can bring your own wine. YUM! I think I'll try that next time. A great time, no matter what your skill level. read more

Man, what a great place to make you feel like you're a kid again, too bad this is my first time doing this! First and foremost, I would strongly suggest making a reservation here, we tried to walk in before and they said that we'd have to come back because of the amount of people there. (not all the tables were full but they do spend a lot of time helping you out and there's always some kind of party in the back). Basically, you sit down and they explain the procedure: go pick out your item, then fill out this form, and then begin the painting process. After all the fun decorating occurs and you're ready to leave, just know that it does take a full week for them to put it in the kiln and make it all pretty and glassy looking. I believe the Pasadena location does a special where the paint fee is $1, first Friday of each month i think? Normally it's about 10-11 bucks per person, so pretty good savings there. read more

Staffs: ok Location: hard to find parking. Parking garage will charge you anywhere from $5-$8 Facility: good Picking up your finished item(s): bad! Make sure you double check your items before walking out that door. I didn't check mine and I am missing an item. read more

I was [ ] this close to quitting all of my jobs and becoming a professional ceramic painter. Color Me Mine would supply me with my pieces and I would just paint!!! Let the inter working of the great artists flow through me... Okay sorry, I got caught up for a minute. Color Me Mine is different and fun. You get to hang out and paint and be creative. It's always fun and I always have a good time. The pieces (cups, plates, bowls, etc.) can be on the pricey side, well they are on the pricey side. If you think you about it they eliminated a lot of work for you. You get to enjoy the fun part, you don't have to mold the piece you want or wait for it out of the kiln, you just get to paint. The First Friday of the Month is a $1 service fee and you get to BYOB... Color Me Mine is great for kids, it's good for adults, it's great for a date night or an anniversary thing. Oh, you'll want to book a reservation and make sure you bring coins for the meter parking out front. read more

I've taken classes in pottery, so I was a bit skeptical about Color Me Mine. But I've changed my snooty attitude since visiting the shop last week. My friend decided to host a little party for her bridesmaids there. I was the maid of honor. :) I selected a tall mug to paint. The shop is well stocked with white colored items for embellishing. Cups, cookie jars, pet food dishes, tiles, plates, vases, and figurines graced the shelves. Each one has a price marked on the bottom. My tall mug was $17. The items have a matte surface and seem like bisque-fired porcelain. The glazes are well organized by color name and number with corresponding samples on the walls. I picked only a few colors and they fired up true to the samples. There are brushes, stencils, stamps, and tape available. Everything that you need to decorate your item. The shop keeper was helpful & gave our group a brief tutorial before we got started. There are many cool samples throughout the store to inspire you. This would be a super fun activity for some creative kids to try. My mug was a little more complicated and it took me almost 2 hours to paint. Well, I was chit-chatting the whole time with the other bridesmaids. The items were fired and ready to pick up exactly when promised. We didn't lose any pieces in the process. They all looked better than I expected. The colors were brilliant and the coverage was excellent (I used 3 coats of glaze for most areas). The detail I was able to get was also great. I painted tiny stars with sliver-thin rays of light coming off of them and each one looked sharp. My design had words and the finished project was very legible. I have high standards for my crafty items and I'm very happy with how it turned out! Overall, a good experience for a "shared activity" with friends or kids. read more

Went here for a date night with my husband and had a great time! It was clean, and the employees were nice, but not super attentive. We refilled our own paints like it was our job. The experience was fun overall and there was a pretty good selection of things to paint that weren't to kitschy. If possible, find out when they get shipments in of products. We walked by the next day and there was almost twice as many ceramic pieces to choose from! we felt a little cheated. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to paint when you go here. We spent nearly two hours painting a tissue box, and that was with two people working on the same thing. Also, if you check in on facebook you get $5 off of your sitting fee, which is pretty nice :) Cons: -the tables are really close to the shelves, so looking at things to choose what to pick and paint was a little awkward. the whole place is a little cramped -the employees kind of show you how to do techniques, but you need to be vocal if you want help/advice about how to do something. We wanted to tape off lines, but they didn't tell us until we were leaving that they have the tools for us to do that. read more

Great experience. We were running late and they still let us in and we even got a discount.

So much fun!! Came with my family and we enjoyed our time!! So many portions to choose from employees are nice!

I have been to various Color Me Mine locations in Southern California and this is BY FAR the best one i've been to. The staff was so attentive and helpful with everything from picking out our pieces to getting us the exact colors we were looking for. Ellie specifically was so helpful and great with my kids even though they were a bit rowdy when we first arrived. Thank you Color Me Mine for creating such a fun space for my kinds and me to go for an afternoon. read more

it was a super fun experience and the employees were very helpful the entire time! i truly appreciate all the help all the employees did with our first time! My wife and i really enjoyed it read more

Parking: There are lots around because this location is in old town Pasadena. Most parking s free for the first hour and a half! Price: On weekdays it is an 8 dollar fee for painting and then the additional cost of what you paint (the price is located underneath what you pick) I think it is a little pricey but It is a fun experience. You can pick up your items a week later! Service: They greet you right away but you might be turned away if you do not have a reservation because they do get busy, so call ahead! They give great instructions and start out by filling your paint for you. They did keep up with water changes but not paint refills so I did feel awkward getting up because I was not sure if I was allowed to touch the paint. My brother and I went and he painted a monster figure while I painted a cup. He is 6 and got tired pretty fast. They do give you a time limit also, it was 2 hours. We finished before then but we had small items. If you pick a larger one it might be difficult to finish in the time limit! Next time I go I would look for a Groupon or a place a little cheaper because the total in the end with tax was a bit pricey. read more

Brought our kids here during the week. Has got to be one of the best places to do an art activity with your children. They specialize in pottery that you can paint to your desires. Our kids had a great time. The staff here are also so wonderful and friendly. read more

There should be a sign or some sort of notification that mentions a fee is added if you assist your child in painting in any way. It's a sneaky additional charge that they don't bother to mention. It would have been nice to have been given a heads up at least. Also, the staff wasn't as friendly as I would expect considering a lot of children come here. read more

Went there for the first time with my grandson and daughter. It's such a relaxing atmosphere and fun for all ages. They have everything u need to let your creative juices out! We can't wait to go there again. It's a bit pricey so it might be a once a year thing. read more

Fun place to de-stress and forget about reality. Its easy and fun. Okay, I sat there for thirty minutes planning my piece but after that it was relaxing. You pay for studio time and the piece. You can color anything from a plate to a coffee mug to car figurines. It takes a week for it to be ready but they call you when its done. You can use as many colors as you want, but don't be wasteful. You could be there for hours, they don't care. If you can't come up with your own idea, you can go online and google ideas. There are some tools in the drawers you can use. For example, stencils, sponges or stamps. I like it a little more than paint nite because you can go in whenever you want. For one, they give you more than two paint brushes. They have a lot of brushes to use from tiny to broad. Second, they refresh your water so its easy to clean your brushes and it doesn't mess up your colors. Also, you can get creative and venture off into your own ideas. Plus there is a lot of space and you can bring in your own food or drinks. Across the street is an asian coffee shop with a variety of drinks and pastries. I would stop there for a drink before your paint session. I put a happy face on the bottom of my jewelry box and it was smudged when it was cooked. I guess try not to get fancy with the bottom because the rack might mess it up when it gets cooked. No one looks at the bottom anyway. Good experience. Its a little pricy but if you have some time to kill and money to spare, then its a good place to spend it. Have fun! Dont try to one up the four year old picaso at the next table, it will only lead to a paint fight ;-p read more

I haven't been to one of these places since the 3rd grade, but boy did I have fun! My husband and I are children at heart, and we always have a good laugh at my lack of artistic abilities. We came here for a double date night with my brother and sister in law, and we all had so much fun! There are so many cute ceramics to choose from, and once we made our paint color selections we all began putting our paint brushes to work! It took about 2 hours for us to all complete. The only con here is the price. It's too expensive for what it is, and I think the service fee per person is unnecessary since we can just get up and get our paints ourselves & clean the brushes if we want to. Regardless, we had a great time and do recommend! read more

I love this place!! I'm not the most artistic person, but what was great about this place was that I was able to find a cute owl piece and color in the face and body (no need to be creative to color)!! Some of my more artistic friends painted their own picture on mugs and plates. There are definitely regulars who come often because of how pro they are and don't need assistance. Seating: this place was not the biggest. There were maybe 5 tables that seat 3 people and a room for a party of 10. So if you have a small birthday party that you want to host I'd definitely recommend this place. I know where I'm going for my bachelorette party!!I was there with a group of 9 people and we already occupied 3 tables. Luckily we got there at 2 pm because people without reservations started to come near 4pm-ish and they were told to come back because of the lack of seating. Service: 5 stars for service! They made sure we understood how the colors would come out after our pieces were baked and gave us clear and precise instructions. They also replaced our brush washers whenever the water became too cloudy. I even saw one of the staff members teach a little girl how to do a tie dye color on her plate! It was pretty neat!! Parking: unfortunately there's no parking lot but Street parking for $2 in the meter was not bad at all. Price: smaller pieces of ceramic came out to be around $10+ whereas the med-large pieces were 20+. There's also an extra $10 service charge (im guessing to pay for the paint used,gas used for the baking of our product, and etc. ) I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK!! read more
