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.

This is the greatest place to get some paint therapy with a really wonderful team of people.

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!

Parking is super easy since it's in a plaza, the people that work at this studio are super friendly and nice, and they offer so many other activities - I saw a kids painting night happening before, they have glass fusing, etc. They also have an area in the back where it looks like they do most of the classes so the pottery painting is almost always available!!

The classes are kept small so that you get lots of hands-on instruction and feel comfortable being a beginner with both your teacher and with the other students. There is something so joyful about looking over the shelves of everyone's projects and seeing what others are making: whether it's young kids or professional potters. The owner's exquisite pottery is also displayed in the front of the shop if you're more interested in buying great pottery than trying to make it!

This is my new go-to plant place for all of my plant needs and questions! I came by here last month…read morelooking for a Monstera Deliciosa that was not too expensive after looking all over the city for one and I stumbled into this place. Initially when I was looking for this place, it was difficult to find, however after calling and getting directions, turned out it was easier than expected! As a beginner plant parent, Allie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the plants I had questions about. She alleviated any worries I had about taking care of a plant and ensured that the Monstera Deliciosa is an easy plant to take care of. She gave thorough plant care tips which was proven to be helpful in the weeks coming. After weeks of taking care of this plant, it was very simple to take care of this plant! It has sprouted new leaves since coming to its new home. If I have any questions concerning the plant, they're responsive on instagram, in the situation I do not have the time to go into the shop! If you are a new plant parent, I wholeheartedly recommend this place due to the excellent service, ambiance and the valuable knowledge of the staff!

The moment we walked into Plant Connection SF I knew it was the perfect place to host the kind of…read moreunconventional wedding celebration we had in mind. The setting with the plants inside and out was important to me as my mother who is no longer in this realm was a gardener/plant whisperer. I could feel connected to her in the setting. Ali the main coordinator we worked with was very helpful and a great communicator both through email and in person. We really liked having the ability to set up the bar outside and keep the doors open to keep the flow of air circulating as people mixed and mingled. It was a wonderful whirlwind day and it seemed like it was over in a flash, but we keep hearing from people about how much fun they had. We highly recommend Plant Connection SF for people who want to embrace an unconventional setting for a celebration in the heart of the city.

I received a glass flameworking class as a surprise for Christmas, paid for, with the option for me to move it to a number of dates. I chose the March 8th date. It's been THREE MONTHS of multiple calls, voicemails, and emails per week to The Crucible. We have gotten ONE single response the entire time: something to the effect of "so sorry we dropped the ball - we'll get back to you," then.... nothing. None of our calls or emails or voicemails have been returned. The March class date has now passed, and not a single offer of a refund or a reschedule. We're doing a chargeback, which we really hate to do since it's so detrimental to the business, but... if it weren't for all these other reviews I'd wonder if this place even exists? Three full months of effort on our end and not a single useful human answer?Hoping this review plus the chargeback gets us some sort of resolution.

This teacher stayed in one location which was farther away from where I was seated. I couldn't hear her instructions as a result. I managed the best I could.
