This was a fun experience. First time here. I thought the $12 basic fee was reasonable, but the pottery pieces were pricey. It was a great way to spend a couple hours with friends! read more

Located in the Palladio Shopping complex, this ceramic paint spot is definitely a spot to check out. We had my daughter's birthday party here and the staff was very informative and helpful throughout the whole process. Parties We reserved the back private room which can fit up to 15painters, and 20 guest total which means, parents can drop off or some can choose to stay. It was $150 to rent the back plus any other ceramic add ons that the kids want to paint. Ceramics range from $20 and up depending on the size. You can even limit what you want your guest to choose from (as far as price range) and the staff will bring it in the room and place it on the shelf for guest to pick. The back room rental allows you to bring any outside food and drinks (except alcohol). You are given a 2 hour block starting at either 1230-230 or 3:30-5:30. They do however allow you to set up prior to your booked time. The only tricky thing is finding parking to unload your party stuff so I would recommend bringing a folding wagon with you for set up/ clean up. Wish they had one designated reserved parking just for that. But if you get lucky, you can snag a 15min one right in front. Painting For those not familiar with the ceramic process, after your guest have completed painting, it will take about 7-10days after to receive your painted ceramic. They said it will be placed in a kilm at 1000 degrees! With that, you would have to come back to pick up your creation. I would definitely recommend this spot! Super friendly attentive staff, and such a fun and different activity that the kids or adults will enjoy!! read more

Me and my Husband was celebrating his bday and our anniversary. Staff was very accommodating and answers all our inquiries. They even go and beyond to do something if your celebrating a special occasion. Prices are very reasonable, they have alot of choices to choose from and materials you can use to. Highly recommended place to go and make memories with your love one and friends. read more

I called them ahead of time to see what their booking / reservations looked like. The person who answered the phone did state that they do "Walk-Ins" and there are painting fees associated (adults and children have separate feeds). The items that you would like to paint (i.e. bowls, cups, coasters, jewelry boxes, etc are labeled and prices vary). My husband, daughter and I made sure to go an 1.5 hours before they closed so it gave us enough time to pick our items, colors and paint. The space was clean, the staff were friendly and it was pretty easy to navigate everything. There is a back separate area for private parties. A lot of things to choose from. The items can be pricey but it's definitely a fun experience! Parking is relatively easy to figure out and they do have a restroom for customers. read more

Great experience! We came for belated birthday celebration for our 3 year old daughter. The two kids (3 & 4 year old) had a good time painting and were very excited to pick up their pieces. Staff were very very kind and helpful! We will definitely be back because unfortunately, our daughter dropped hers and it broke the minute we got home . read more

Love this color me mine! I've been going to CMM since the 90s and have never had a bad experience! This location is always clean and all the employees are friendly! All of my pieces are fired quickly and tuen out beautiful! read more

We adore the concept, have mostly enjoyed coming in and creating over the years. However it has become a more and more costly experience so we don't do it often anymore. I was pretty disappointed when we picked up our latest creations and there was a chip on the edge of one of the plates and they did nothing about it. 2 of 3 plates have broken within 2 months (our old ones from 8 years ago are still doing well). It seems like price has gone way up and quality way down. We were also very disappointed to find that even though I didn't have a project, I was charged a $10+ "participation" fee. Additionally the night we came in the teen girl at the counter hardly helped us, and spent most of her time in the back room with her security guard boyfriend. Because of all these combined We won't be coming back. read more

This was our first time at this pottery painting studio. They have many items to choose from. Prices are reasonable. The service was very nice, we were greeted immediately with our reserved table. My daughter have to asked for color refills many times, the employee was very nice and accommodating. My daughter loves the place so much and had lots of fun! We can't wait to see how our Fairy on the Moon turn out Will update the review once we have the product! P.S: If you do decide to go, best to call ahead so you can reserved a table as they do get really busy. read more

My kids had a blast painting their own pottery at Color Me Mine. They loved choosing their own designs and colors, and they were really proud of their finished products. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Most bizarre experience ever. Went in just now with the 3 kids I nanny and the woman at the front was extremely rude for no reason and brushed us off. Literally brushed us off with a hand movement and everything. I'm aware that people have hard days and their actions are a reflection of themselves and their issues, so I ignored it and we picked out our pieces and sat down. We were then ignored for 20 minutes while she helped two other groups that came in after us. Wouldn't make eye contact and when she finally did she made this funky smile and continued to not help us. Very strange. We got up and left. I hope she figures herself out. read more

This is a great spot for a fun activity: girls' night out, a creative date, kid bonding time. But holy crap, you'll definitely pay for it! There's a fee for painting ($10 each) on TOP of the high prices of the items. I took my daughter here as a special treat. Let's just say that if you even think you MIGHT have the slightest inclination toward OCD, do not, i repeat- DO NOT take a five-year-old here. She had a great time painting her unicorn, but for $40 I watched her pick ugly colors, mash the brush around, and leave parts unpainted. I don't think I sweat that much when I work out. It was stressful. But when we picked up her hideous, over-priced unicorn the following week, and she saw it completed in all its shiny glory, the look on her face was priceless. She loves it and is so proud of it! So I'm glad we went, but I'll wait until she's older and I'm on anxiety meds before I take her back. read more

This was a fantastic experience! They are being very COVID safe! They have tables inside and outside and are taking reservations. Staff is very friendly and all are wearing masks. This can be a hard project for littles because painting with patience is hard. It is a little pricy, but As long as you go into it knowing that kids are going to get messy and may mix all the colors you'll do great! My 2 and 3 year old LOVED this and were so happy with the end result. They even included twinkling lights for the little house lantern. We look forward to our next trip! read more

Another a great Place to try in Folsom for families or the single classes nothin but great times and vibes from staff. Love to

This place was fun and there's a lot of different choices of things to paint. The experience overall was good. The prices are okay. The main area of opportunity might be the service, but it was decent in general. I would recommend this business to others. read more

Scheduled an evening for holiday painting and had a great time. It was a somewhat busy evening and there didn't seem to be enough staff, so our paints were slow to be refilled and questions we had were left unanswered, but that didn't bother us. What did bother me was when I went to pick up our items I was told they were not ready because the kiln had not been fired up on full heat and it was requested that I come back the next day. My friend went back the next day and was told that the paints had not cured properly & the staff was attempting to fix our items. This went on for two weeks. Our items were never fixed, but made worse. The manager did give us a full refund and was very apologetic. Very disappointed that nobody seemed to really know their own company's products and they were a bit over-priced. Most likely will not return or recommend this place. read more

Been here many times and love it every-time. The brunette lady was so sweet and the other one working with her was not having it at all. But overall, amazing selection of paint colors and the pottery itself with really high rates. read more

Don't go here!! The whole staff ignored me and my family when we came and the manager was horribly inconsiderate! Please save your money and go somewhere else! read more

We started pieces at the Folsom location, finished pieces at the Laguna location because it was closer to home, and had to pay both studio fees after being told we could take them to any location without paying more fees! Very disappointed since it made pricey pieces even more pricey. If we were better informed by staff, we wouldn't have gone to a different studio. We left feeling a bit gypped and will definitely be more mindful if we go back again. read more

I go here once or twice a year. It's a lot of fun. A good family experience. A really good art project for those of us without talent and some of those with a great deal of town. Everything I've ever done there looks really professional. read more

Staff is not too friendly, they direct you to a chair and basically say find somethg to paint and colors are there! Of course pricey and parking sucks. Its very small place with few seats. read more

Color Me Mine - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Folsom, California

From the moment we walked in, I felt very uncomfortable. This was today, 1/16/23 around 3 pm. There were two women working. The brunette was helpful and kind. The other gal seemed EXTREMELY annoyed and unhappy to have to help people. This was our first experience doing this. We had zero explanation, zero smiles, zero patience, and honestly, the whole interaction put a huge damper on the experience. I almost stopped painting because I didn't want the piece as a reminder of the not so good time. Whom ever owns this place, I would highly recommend a refresher to your staff on customer service, patience with children, and clear instructions either posted somewhere or verbal. This is by NO means a cheap outing. You pay for the ceramic thing, plus an extra 8-10$ just to sit and paint. You aren't walking outta there spending less than 100$, easy. The older woman was so bothered that she audibly states "oh my god" when someone didn't understand her, insert eye roll too. I will never return or recommend this establishment. I left feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable. Felt like I was doing a chore, not enjoying leisure time with my family. read more

I took my two children, both under ten. They loved it! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Can't wait to see the finished products! I would have rated five stars except for cost. In fairness, their website does break down the various costs, including use of their studio ($10 for adults, $8 for children under 10), kiln use ($1.00 per piece - why they don't just include the $1 in the price of the piece I don't know. I can't imagine a customer not having the piece fired there), and the cost of the clay piece. Although there are some trivets and small ornaments, most items, including cups/mugs and small bowls, were in the $15 to $20 range. So, for one adult and two children, it cost me approx. $90. I had a Groupon that helped, but it only got me down to the $70 range. I was some what prepared mentally for the cost, but if this is just a spur of the moment/let's have some fun kids type of thing, it is very easy to rack up a $100 in this place. Okay, sorry to whine about cost, just thought it might be helpful for parents on a budget to know. All in all, we will go back again. It will be awhile, but we will go back. read more

I sometimes get bored of standard dates that revolve around food, so my boyfriend planned a date to Color Me Mine to show some creativity in both art and date planning. We had a coupon that waived the studio fee for both of us (I am unabashedly the coupon queen), so we were just left to pay for the pottery we wanted to paint. We both chose coffee/latte mugs since we thought we might actually use them sometime. The friendly girl staffing the studio took us over to the paints and filled up our palates with the colors we wanted and then set us free to have at it. I decided to play it safe with a pretty flowery stencil design, while my boyfriend just went to town freehanding his mug. You can pretty much make a date here last as long as you want depending on how fast you want to finish your piece. We took our time and really had fun doing something new. After you're done, you turn in your piece to be fired in the kiln and return in a couple days to pick it up. Upon pickup, I was not surprised to see that my dainty little flower design was quite pretty, while my boyfriend's brown and burnt orange creation was more...abstract? Regardless, it was a good time for people of all ages and ability levels. I even use the mug I made! My boyfriend doesn't use his, so I tend to hide it in the very back of the cupboard. Sorry babe, we'll stick to food dates for you ;o) read more

If you need a rainy day activity, this is a great place. It is a little expensive, but you'll end up with a great ceramic price that you can use, and even put it in the dishwasher. We had my daughter's birthday party here, and it worked out well. 8 friends all made a cool piece, and hung out in a private room. They are good at steering the little ones to lower priced or useful items. You paint your piece, and then come back a week later to pick it up. read more

Schedule a birthday party here! Such an awesome experience. Give them a price limit and let the kids be creative. Also, the 1.5 hr time a lot is just the right amount. Art, cake, and gifts! read more

Quiet Place for Your Creative Pottery Projects The idea behind "Color Me Mine" is simple: Pick out a piece you would like to paint, select your colors, paint your pottery. They will fire it for you, provide all the brushes, stencils, and you can come pick up your pieces in a few days. They have a lot of different colors of paint and samples for you to look at. The place is very quiet and clean. There are quite a few different seasonal and regular pottery pieces to choose from. The staff is friendly and will answer any questions you have. So bring a friend... or just go by yourself. Spend an hour or two and let your creativity run wild. read more

SO. FREAKING. EXCITING. I feel like quite the accomplished artist now. Okay, not even remotely like an accomplished artist; but I sure did have an amazing time. My friend has been raving about Color Me Mine for YEARS. I was never against checking it out, but always found myself doing other things instead. I'm so glad she finally forced me into trying it as her birthday gift to me. I can understand why people are more likely to choose something like the Painted Cork, or Wine Night, over CMM; but please trust me when I say that you don't need booze in order to have fun-- and I love me some booze. The beauty of CMM, is that you aren't rushed into completing your piece; unlike Painted Cork, etc. The staff are friendly, the age range is vast, and it's very fairly priced. The paint colors are great as well. I had a terrific time. I can hardly wait to go back. Check it out. It's worth it. read more

love love love!!!!!!! Even as an adult I love this place. Great way to relax and do something creative. Also a good idea for a fun date, gives you time to talk while keeping busy. Forget the movies, this is a lot more fun. read more

Great experience, with with a couple of gal pals during ladies night ($4 studio fee on Wednesdays instead of the regular $10 fee). We all painted different items and had a great time chatting while relaxing/painting together. I was the only one who didn't finish my piece in the 3 hours that we were there, but the staff let me know I could take my piece home and return with it any other day that is convenient for me and finish it up (free of charge, not having to pay the studio fee again). Woohoo! read more

Great family outing! A bit pricey, but they're doing what they can to seat open during pandemic. Many tools, like paint pens or stencils were unavailable or out of order. Other than those things, we had a good time. read more

Really fun, who doesn't like to paint!? But...ridiculously overpriced. The ceramics are not very extravagant and start at $20 and upward for a simple small figurine. Cups, plates, plain business card holders, kids figurines, vases, etc. Then there is an $8 studio fee per person. #2 people will cost at least $65 for #2 minimum costs items to paint. Staff is nice, place is clean and cool during the summer. Overall a fun activity just an expensive one that most average income folks can't afford. My 3 star rating is based on the expensive costs. read more

Color Me Mine - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Folsom, California

Very disappointed in my experience! I brought my granddaughter and she chose her project and I selected mine. I started to paint mine (a serving tray) and noticed a BIG nick on one of the corners done in the preparation of the tray. I mentioned it and said I wanted a new one. I was told she still had to charge me $38. All of the other trays on the shelf had perfect corners. She got mine from a cupboard and carried it to the table. I wasn't going to do anymore because I wouldn't serve anything on a chipped piece of pottery. I will not ever come back, my blood pressure can't afford another experience like today. After posting I got my receipt and she had taken off the cost. I had already posted so I hope this'll correct the information. read more

Attention all Girls Scout Troops and those wanting an inexpensive party option... a party of 15 can paint a good size tile for $11 per person (including tax and a private room)- $165 plus tip. And, you will want to tip once you see how beautifully run your party is. You can bring your own snacks, etc. The staff was beyond amazing- professional, helpful, friendly and organized. Sandra went out her way to earn our business by working within our budget. Kristin and Sandra could not have done a better job with the 18 kids that we had in our party. I just left the happiest group of 6 and 7 year old Brownies and their moms. We all had the best time! Thank you Sandra and Kristin!!! read more

You disappointed our 6 and 3 year old grandkids. The place was busy and only one employee. She was stuck for 15 minutes trying to locate someone's merchandise. Then we were next, she said to send the kids up to get their paint and ends up helping a line jumper. She should have refused to help her. Instead she begins helping her while our kiddos were standing by the paint anxiously waiting to be served. $50 worth of business you just lost because we left. read more

I love the concept of color me mine. It's a fun activity for any age and for anybody. This would make a good birthday outing, a good date, or a good friends day out activity. This location feels a bit small, I think I've been to bigger locations in the past. But, there was enough space for us to paint and it wasn't too busy on a Sunday. I wouldn't recommend Saturday as I think it is one of the very busy days. The parking is hard to find, which is unfortunate. The prices are pretty much $20-$30 for your average item. There are some that are more expensive and some that are cheaper but that is the average price I saw on items. They give you paint and brushes and stencils and different ideas. I had a lot of fun with the project. I wish it was a bit more informative for a first timer. There are different techniques and things I would have been interested in. All in all, I enjoyed my experience and I would be happy to try it again! Plus they have gift cards which make excellent gifts. read more

My hubby & I went to Color Me Mine for a date & had so much fun painting together. Pretty inexpensive for everything we got; painted for 3 hours, used multiple colors and we barely had to help clean up! Can't wait to get our ceramic in a week! read more

Excellent! I started going to this Color Me Mine when it was located on Iron Point near the outlets 20 years ago. I have always received good service and there are frequent specials. The manager helped me put together a CA mission tile painting activities for my 4th grade class. I highly recommend this business! read more

Color Me Mine in Folsom is a great place to be creative--and luckily, the staff is knowledgable and accommodating so your project can be a success. Everyone working there is friendly and helpful, which is good for novices who may have questions or need any kind of help while they are working on their piece. My latest project was quite labor intensive, and the ladies all seemed to want it to turn out as well as I did! I appreciate the customer service and the positive energy...and although I was apprehensive about my idea(s), I ended up loving the gift I made in the end! Thanks to the Color Me Mine staff for all their attention and help throughout the process--they helped me create a sentimental keepsake that will be loved for years to come. read more

Staff is incredibly rude and disrespectful. My friends and I went to Color Me Mine on a Saturday night 3 hours before closing. When we walked in, one lady working there physically rolled her eyes and stomped over to us to tell us that we were too late to start painting, when really we had 3 hours. We then went over to pick our piece knowing that we would be done in less than 2 hours, but then overheard the two employees at the desk pointing at us and saying how "it is so "f-ing disrespectful" of us to walk in at this time and expect to paint, so we left. Not going back to the one in Folsom, would rather give my business to people that are going to give me the time of day, very disappointed in the customer service. read more
