    pottery - A ceramic container with a rounded lid features a design mimicking a cookie, with brown spots on the lid and body. The container is placed on a table in a setting that appears to be a pottery studio or workshop, with chairs and other pottery items visible in the background.

    Not sure about all of the negative reviews, this place is great! Color Me Mine in Glenview is quiet refuge from a stressful work day, bad mood, ailment-- painting is truly a wonderful form of therapy. The workers are very kind and attentive towards your color needs (in my case, putting up with my refill requests every couple of minutes- gotta add those layers!). Do stop by here sometime. Probably best to try on an off day during the weekday as weekends tend to get pretty busy.

    We had left Funtopia & went for a stroll when we saw this establishment; An already made ceramic pottery piece my daughter paints with, was another fun indoor activity for her. There is different fees for adults and children plus a studio fee. I opted out in painting. Her tea lantern piece ended up to be $26 total. There's plenty of choices of ceramics to choose from: I prevented myself for the Hello Kitty ones! Yes, at my age I am still into Hello Kitty. My 5 yrs old daughter felt like a big girl when the employee asked her for colors; I advised My daughter that each brush produces different paint strokes and the sponge is used to even out the paint on the ceramic. After she was done, I'm told I'll be contacted to pick up the piece in a few days. Although pricey, I can't put a nametag for her experience. Plus, the tea lantern can be displayed or given as a gift. There is also a tip fee for the employee supplying the colors.

    I was here on a Saturday afternoon with my fellow yelper Nan. The studio wasn't busy at all. We came in picked out our pieces and then sat down and selected colors, and the people who worked there brought us palette's with paint. It was kind of difficult to get their attention when we needed more paint later on, which I thought was odd because the studio was pretty empty. Regardless we had a fun time painting and chatting on our own. It's a fun activity for any age- there were ladies that looked like they were in their 50's painting intricate designs on a plate when we first arrived, and also girls that looked like there were 12. It was fun, though it is a little pricey. I painted 2 mugs, which were $12.50 a piece, plus a studio fee of $10. But thankfully Nan had told me about a $5 off coupon that's available on the website if you take a survey about your experience. With the discount and tax, I ended up paying $32 for painting 2 mugs. Which isn't cheap, but I guess not uber expensive either. I would definitely come back here again- I think it's a great activity to do with your girlfriends.

    I love coming here so much. You go and pick up an already made pottery piece. Then you sit down and select the colors you want to paint. I like getting creative and then seeing my final product. The place is small so it gets really crowded. Also, sometimes the place gets busy with birthday parties. It gets really noisy. I would say the pricing could be considered pricey can't blame them. For the pottery and the painting fee, you could pay around $30/person to $50/person.

    Fun for all ages.

The owner, Robin, and one of the other employees were fantastic at leading a group of 21 first grade girls through painting a mermaid tail (there were so many choices for the canvas painting - my daughter happened to choose this one). They can do them more or less complex based on the age group of the party. Robin was truly fantastic to work with. She took care of everything, including ordering pizzas from elsewhere in the mall. I brought the paper goods and cupcakes and everything else was handled. We were in a party room in the back that is utilitarian but also decorated. I definitely appreciated that there were separate tables for the art and the eating! I was perfectly happy to not be out in the front of the store with the general public. And the price was totally reasonable given everything that they did for us. Would definitely host another party here! We've also come on a random day just to do a walk in ceramic painting, which was also great. Lots of selections at all sorts of different price points. You can also do walk in canvas painting.

We eventually ended up forgoing this year because she's still so young she wouldn't fully appreciate the experience, but plan on going for some Mommy and me time. The staff that I was in touch with while planning the event were all so helpful, responsive, and friendly. Even when we decided to pass on holding the party there, after we had filled out the form and not yet put in the deposit, they were so understanding. They get high ratings, they're located conveniently in a mall where if you have youngers you can go to the playgrounds in the mall, and if you have olders, they can walk around and do a little independent shopping. Looking forward to visiting soon!

We opted for the ceramics painting (there were 3 generations in our party), and the selection of ceramic ware they have to choose from is very nice. No old looking, 70s-style outdated stuff -- it was hard to choose -- from bowls, plates, vases, figurines, candle holders, mugs. Also, the selection of paint is very current as well (no primary red-yellow-blue) and the chart was very helpful in imagining what the finished fired piece would look like. We came on a Saturday morning, and there was plenty of bustling activity. Several young people were doing the cream crafts which were all these super cute charms that they were gluing with colored icing (adhesive?) to frames, or mirrors, or jewelry boxes. I might want to do that myself another time. Ruby helped to set us up and explained the paints, how many coats to do, as well as the process to complete and pick up the items (takes a few weeks). We spent a very relaxing morning painting and conversing. You could probably just walk in, but I would suggest making a reservation on a weekend morning. The prices seemed reasonable and we are all looking forward to getting our finished pieces!

But it definitely did not disappointed. The starting range to paint a blank ceramic is about 6 bucks, the cost does go up depending on the size, and or character. I saw some larger items for 22 bucks. This was a fun way to get out of the house, do something fun, creative, and expressive. Once your blank ceramic is purchased, they have multiple paint stations available. They provide the paint, the paint brushes, cups of water, and a plastic apron to cover your clothes. My eight year old loved the idea of the different colors. My two year old decided to mix all of her paint colors together. (We are working on her artistic skills) They also have really good deals on party packages and an exclusive party room. Apparently they make slim, paper art, canvases, and spray paint/graffiti art.

Aside from being problematic, my daughter hadn't had a "good" birthday in the past few years - Covid, passing of a beloved pet, etc. this was supposed to be the redemption. In my panic, I posted to a local mom's group in desperation. Enter Robin and the Painted Penguin. That day I was super busy at work and couldn't respond to her message, but we connected in the evening, and she went above and beyond for us. My daughter and her friends made amazing art and had a great time. I was blown away by the variety and fun of the business (I kind of was a little jealous of the options they had). On top of all of this, Robin was fun, engaging, and genuinely helpful. TL;DR: 10/10 absolutely recommend, will go again.
