We recently attended a sip and paint event, and the staff was kind enough to offer us free studio time when we couldn't complete our projects that night. My wife often brings friends, and they can spend hours painting without any issues. I'm surprise they haven't gotten kick out. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive; they're always quick to provide more paint or offer helpful tips. The studio is clean and well-organized, with a vast selection of art pieces to choose from, although the prices can be a bit high. Overall, I highly recommend Color Me Mine and will definitely be returning.

Gabbie, you're the best Heidi you're amazing and I absolutely love coming here every time we have built up quite the rapport haven't we lol stoneware was quite the night. Had a great time. Lots of excitement all around! Unfortunately, I don't have photos of my stoneware before the fire, but I do have pictures of other projects. I've worked on at Color Me Mine as again. This is the greatest place to get some paint therapy with a really wonderful team of people.

    What a gem! I love this place. So much better than other main chain pottery store. They don't…read morecharge studio additional fee. Just pick the ceramic you want to paint and pay for that! No time limit and I like the tray they give. Easy to turn and paint. I also like the squeeze paint bottles that's helpful when doing fine lines. There are plenty of supplies: consisting of sponges, brushes, water cups, pencils and erasers. I brought my friend here for her birthday and we just spent 3 hours painting, listening to music and chatting. We visited on a Sunday and it was quiet/peaceful, not too crowded. Definitely will visit this place again in the future to paint more pottery.

    We had our daughter's 6th birthday party at Hot Spot Studio over the weekend, and we were so…read moreimpressed by both the space and the staff. I honestly cannot believe I had never heard of this place before, especially living here in Fremont. The studio is adorable, clean, and very well set up for kids' activities and parties. They offer a lot of fun options, and for our party we chose pottery and slime, which was a huge hit. The full 3 hours went incredibly smoothly. We had a private room for the kids to do their activities, enjoy pizza, and have cake, and everything felt easy and well organized from start to finish. The staff was wonderful and made the whole experience feel seamless. We will definitely be back with our kids.

Came here for a birthday and it was an overall fun and easy experience. One thing I noticed is that you have to paint at least 3-4 thick layers on for full saturation.

We ended up having to wait around 20 minutes before a table freed up so I definitely suggest calling ahead to make a reservation! The owner of this business was incredibly nice. She took time to explain the glazes and how the process of painting our pieces worked. There is a flat fee of $15/person and you get unlimited time in the studio to paint your pieces. There was a wide range of glazes available for you to paint with. My only gripe was the condition the paintbrushes were in.. I was not able to find a brush for finer details and most of the paintbrushes were old with fraying brushes. The total price depends on the piece or pieces that you choose to paint. Our total ended up being $65 (you can get a 20% discount if you follow their social media or print a coupon from their website). Overall this was a great experience and I would love to visit again! I will update the photos with the finished pieces once I go pick them up!
