First time ever doing anything of this sorts and let me just say the staff was so kind, sweet, and helpful. I wanted to clear my head and just get out of my normal routine and thought... "Since I'm craving Jin tea (next door to this spot), let's go browse color me mine to see if there's anything I'd like to paint?" They charge a studio fee of $12 and then you pay for whatever the price amount of the ceramic you'd like to paint. My mug was about $24. I had my service pup Frida w/ me and they were super chill about it. The hack to this spot is to come on a weekday when it's dead for those who have that choice! I wasn't rushed and they came to check in on me regarding colors. I can't wait to see how it turned out as I was inpatient with myself towards the end xD read more

Color Me Mine - 3 layers later and a napping Frida - Art Classes Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place is so cute. I made the cutest little bowl ever and had such a fun time. The pricing is pretty reasonable. You pay a fixed amount for the paint, then for whichever item you choose to paint. They bring you the paint, paintbrushes, and will give you extra if you need it, which makes everything super easy. You can call ahead to make an appointment, but they also take walk-ins if they're not too busy. Overall, such a cute date idea or just a fun place to go if you want to do something different. read more

I've been going to Color Me Mine since I was a kid, and this location in Old Town Pasadena absolutely lives up to what I love about this business. I've now visited twice: once just to browse with my son, and most recently on Sunday, 11/24 with my boyfriend's 4-year-old daughter. The customer service here is truly outstanding. When I called around 3:30 to check availability, the woman on the phone was incredibly helpful and friendly. She let me know they were busy but had a spot for us. Life with a four-year-old meant I lost track of time, and an employee actually called me back at 3:40 to let me know a large group had walked in, offering us a 5:30 slot instead. Here's where they really went above and beyond: I didn't listen to the voicemail until I was literally walking into the store around 3:45. When I made eye contact with the employee (I wish I'd gotten her name!), she gave me a knowing look and could have easily turned us away since I was late and hadn't responded to her call. Instead, she was incredibly kind and gracious, and actually found two seats for us right then and there! My girl was able to pick out and paint a little cat statue in about 10 minutes. On a previous visit, when I just came in to browse with my son, the employees were equally courteous and informative. Every single person I've interacted with at this location has been wonderful. Regarding pricing: yes, the pieces are expensive, and there's a $12 studio fee per painter. But this is a special activity, not an everyday thing. You're creating something unique that gets fired in a kiln. The location is prime Old Town Pasadena real estate. When I asked about the studio fee, they immediately clarified it was only for people actually painting, not for me as an observer. A simple question cleared that up with no confusion and no hidden fees. If you're planning to visit, just come in with the understanding that you'll be spending some money for a quality experience. The staff here makes it absolutely worth it with their kindness, patience, and willingness to accommodate customers. Highly recommend! read more

A fun experience for anyone - young, old, kids, aspiring artists or just to have fun. Lots of ceramics to pick front to paint. Paint and then pick up in week after they glaze if for you. read more

As a crafty girl, this was so therapeutic. I just feel like the cups, plates, etc. are kinda pricey. However, the employees there were so nice and made the experience better. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking a reservation (by calling in). You book accordingly to your reservation window timeframe. This is my 2nd time coming here, always a good time! overall: 9/10 read more

This is my favorite Color Me Mine that is located around me. The ambiance is relaxing, and the music sets the vibe. The place is dog friendly, mine, Suki, was allowed to sit down with me!! The workers are extremely friendly and always tend to check up on customers frequently. There is a variety of ceramic pieces to choose from and their own water bowls is a ceramic piece itself, which I love! I will be coming back here, worth the 20 min drive :) read more

Color Me Mine - before cooking in the kilm - Art Classes Near Me - Pasadena, California

What a fun date idea! Yes it is expensive but the experience is pretty calming and overall enjoyable. We made a reservation and basically they give you 2 hours from your reservation time. This means if you end up coming late your time will just be less which isn't too big of a deal if you're a little late. You first walk around and select which type of pottery you want to color. The prices are what you'd pay plus $12 per person for studio fee. Yes it'll easily add to be about $40-$50 per person after everything even if you purchase the cheapest pieces. After choosing the pottery that we wanted, we selected 6 colors that we wanted to paint with. This paint is refillable so don't worry about running out. I ended up painting a monkey coin piggy bank ($22) while my wife painted a bowl ($27). After the two hours were up, we went to the front and paid for the things we got. In total it was $85 dollars, yikes! The weird part is that they ask for tip as well which 18% is the lowest options, pretty steep for something that we majority service ourselves. Overall this was a fun experience if you need something to do with friends or a significant other. Make sure to make reservations because it does fill up. You pickup the items about a week later so hopefully my monkey piggy bank turns out well! Parking - Nearby lots but I like parking at Delacey lot since its $1 for the first 2 hours. UPDATE - They called me 4 days later and I picked up my items the Saturday after. They came out better than I was expecting so that's awesome. Will say pickup took some time because they seemed unorganized and couldn't find my items for about 10-15 minutes. Would recommend maybe calling ahead the day of pickup so they can have it found and ready for you when you arrive. read more

Stay away from this place. We visit the other locations on a monthly basis. The only location that charges all people in the party 12$ each for just sitting and watching the kids paint. Outrageously priced each item higher than any location. The kids are so excited so we would only stay this time. Great way of loosing your costumers read more

Color Me Mine - Overpriced mini mug - Art Classes Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is such a cute activity to do! I came by with my mom for a girls day and though it's on the pricier side depending on your item of choice, it's worth the core memory. They charge $12/pp (includes the painting/cleaning fee) and + $$ for whichever item(s) you choose. They have little paint dishes on the table as well has brushes and pens/sharpie for you to write which number of color you'd like the worker to fill up for you. After they fill it up, you're able to use your creative mind and imagination to decorate as you please. They say it takes about 7-14 days for them you finish glazing your product but it took less than 7 days for my items to be picked up! read more

i was really disappointed at the service provided here, but had an overall good time otherwise. we didn't have a reservation and did a walk-in for 3 people. it was pretty crowded so we were seated outside. we had almost an hour and a half to pick out an item and paint, which wasn't entirely enough time in my opinion. by the time we chose our item and got our paints, we had about 45 minutes left of our time there so it felt a bit rushed for me. since we were seated outside it was hard to get the workers' attention if we needed extra paint or had questions so we'd have to go in and out of the shop to ask for things, so i found it a little inconvenient. once we were seated, there wasn't really much direction given other than to choose our paint colors. i was hoping they would give us a little guidance and tips on the process. our brushes were also not the best, so it was a little hard to work with. it was ready within a week or so for pick up. some of the colors came out darker than i thought it would've, but i think it still ended up looking decent enough. read more

Went in after a few years with some friends, I could NOT have had a better experience thanks to these workers.

Ok. Hear me out. I'm well over 21 and have walked past enough Color Me Mine's to fill the entire Northern Hemisphere (maybe not) and its ALWAYS empty. Empty! So why is it that this is my first time and the place was completely full. No empty table in sight. Honestly I wanted a relaxing and chill vibe to paint my soap dish but it was just too crowded and loud. Didn't take away any stars because that's just me and I am comparing this to my pottery experience. The 1 star knock off is the price. Just way too expensive for a simple soap dish. I'll be finding a less busy location. But this location is probably cute for a date! read more

Avoid this location! They actually charge parents a fee just to be in the studio while their child is painting, which is ridiculous. The Montrose location doesn't do that! On top of the bizarre fees, the ceramic prices are outrageously high compared to other studios. They wanted $24 for just a small cup. We won't be coming back. read more

I like this place it's just a bit pricey and they don't call you when your items are ready to be picked up. They charge for the item you're painting plus a fee to paint it of $10 per person. I didn't like that they never called me to pick up my item. read more

Color me mine is a genius idea, and such a fun activity for all ages. The final results are always so beautiful, shiny and rich colors. The only downside is the price point. You will easily spend $200 for just 3 paintings. read more

Such a cute date spot! Definitely recommend and come here again. The workers were attentive and helpful in explaining the steps. It's so exciting seeing the thing you painted come to life. Pricing depends on what ceramics you pick to paint, but there is also a $10 fee per person. Just to be safe, I recommend making an appointment so you can have a schedule to work around because it can get busy, but not too busy. read more

You have the option to reserve a table in advance or just show up at the door and dive right in. Once you're inside, they will find a table for you, then you can explore and choose from an array of pre-created pieces to paint on. Each piece has a price marked at the bottom, so you can easily keep track of what you're spending. In addition to the price of your chosen piece, there's a $12 studio fee that covers your session. Once you select your piece, you take it to your designated spot. You can then choose six colors to start with, and the staff will happily refill the colors for you as you go along. You have usually two hours to complete your work. Your piece will need to be glazed and cooked", so you won't go home with it on the same day. They will call when ready for pick up - which might take a week. Each table is equipped with brushes, pencils, and all the tools you might need to bring your vision to life. Located in a bustling area with plenty of shops and restaurants, Parking can be limited nearby, but there's a convenient parking structure close by. It's only a dollar for the first hour, and 2 for the next ones. read more

Have only been here twice, and both times the employees were so nice, and the ceramics were so good! So good when we went we couldn't choose!

The place is very professional and we had a great time painting our ceramics. The staff was extremely helpful and flexible and friendly. The place provide everything that you need in order to paint your pottery and the seven day period for waiting to have it in the kiln is reasonable. read more

This place has been here for the longest and I've always wanted to come here. And at last I finally did. I came here with a friend from out of town and we had the great time painting our items that we picked out. I picked out a certain mic mug, something I would actually use everyday lol. And he picked out a small ceramic plant pot. It's fairly simple. You pick out a ceramic item off the shelves of what you want to paint on and then you pick out several colors. At the end you give it to them and they cook it and then they reach out to you when the item is ready for pick up. The staff here are so nice and helpful and come around often to check if you need a refill on colors. We spent about an hour and a half here. It was a great time just painting and talking. There was a little girls birthday party at this place white we were here and I love that you can book events like this. It was lovely seeing the little girls painting their ceramic items. Enjoyed the process. Can't wait to come back again and bring it more of my out of town friends. Might even come here for a date night. *PARKING: good luck trying to find street parking on Green Street. Your best bet is to park in the big parking structure off of Fair Oaks Ave and Green Street. First 90 mins are free before 6:00pm. I believe after 6:00pm you pay by time or maybe even a flat rate. Can't remember. read more

Came here with my s/o for a Valentine's Day celebration and thankfully I made us a reservation because they were pretty busy for the holiday + Sunday. We checked in at the front desk and the girl explained how everything works (it's our first time). So we begin to pick pieces out we wanted to paint and picked colors out. We had about ~1.5 to finish our product which I will admit, I was a little worried we were not going to finish but we did! Prices were a littleeeeee steep considering and to be honest, when we finished our final products there was more things to choose to paint. But again, I'm sure it's because of Valentine's Day that it was a little slim pickings. 10/10 would recommend for a date night or to do with friends. Really therapeutic! read more

My friends and I were in dire need of a creative (and fun) experience. We immediately thought of Color Me Mine since one of my good friends lives in Pasadena. We didn't know to make an appointment (as a few of us have been to other Color Me Mine locations before). We walked in on a Saturday afternoon around 10:30 AM and asked for a table. I think the appointment system is new. They seated us immediately at a table outside which was great! We picked out our pottery to paint and got started. At Color Me Mine, they provide you with the brushes, color palette to pick your paint colors, water to clean your brushes, and your very own palette. We stayed past the allocated 2 hour time limit (again, this was new as I've stayed at past Color Me Mine locations for more than 2 hours). We were disappointed we weren't informed of the 2 hour time constraint because if we knew, we would've planned our time accordingly. The team member was nice to tell us we had about 10 minutes left of our time and informed us we can pay and schedule another date to come back to paint (free of charge). The staff are super friendly and helpful, we just wishes one of them informed us about this new time constraint! We'll definitely schedule a date to come back and finally finish our pieces! read more

This place is pretty expensive but thats not the problem. First timer here and let the worker know that but they arent helpful at all. I would expect the workers to explain the process of everything but i practically had to ask numerous questions that they could have just explained when i arrived and stated its my first time. They also move at snails pace and kick us out after 1 hour even when there arent any other painters. How are we expected to finish our painting in 1 if they dont get the paint fast enough, and require us to wait around? Cmon. Also place is hella messy read more

We were called in at 3:30 pm and I'm not told clearly the end time to be 5 pm. Also there was on painter on this order. I sit next to my daughter doing my work. We got a plate for paint initially. When we were told the session is ending in 30 mins, we asked for another smaller plate which I saw other table also had as their second plate. The last 5 minutes, I need to helpe my daughter to finish the last coloring to try to get it done on time. Not for my own pleasure to paint but just to rush to finish. I ended up was charged for a painter's fee. After my complaint they gave me 50 % discount of the painter's fee, refusing to remove it - for 5 minute of rushing painting to finish the job. I spent $60 dollars for both my daughter and me have a worst bonding time ever. Thanks Color me Mine Pasadena. read more

My daughters love their cereal bowls. Spent two hrs painting and they barely finished. They charge a sitting fee of $10 even if you don't paint.

Pricey but they were sooo excited to get their bowls after a week to glaze. Overall a good time! read more

Everything was awesome about this store, the workers are amazing and kind. I love the calm and helpful environment!

thoroughly enjoyed my color me mine visit! hadn't done anything like this before, but had so much fun! would recommend calling ahead to make a reservation - we walked in around 8pm on sunday and every table was full, luckily a party was leaving so we were able to sit inside! studio fee is $10 per person to cover space, firing, and glaze. you then go around and pick the pieces you'd like to paint (prices vary and are on the bottom of the ceramics). from there, they give you a palette where you can write down the numbers of corresponding glazes you're interested in. took us about 2 hours to paint 2 pieces. staff was generally friendly and pretty quick about refilling our glazes when we ran out. decent amount of street parking around! we were able to pick up our pieces in 4 days (3 days ahead of their quoted 7-10 days!) read more

This place is a great option for a date or a family thing with your child. While they recommend making a reservation by calling (626) 298-6765 or emailing pasadena.studio@colormemine.com, it's not absolutely necessary. They charge a $10 per person "Studio Fee," and the total cost depends on the item you choose to paint. The smallest items start at around $18, with larger pieces costing more. I would say to expect to pay $30-$60 per person. They provide stencils, tape, pencils, and markers to help you, along with brushes and a choice of about 4 or 5 colors. I paid approximately $45 per person, and it takes about 10 days to 2 weeks for it to be ready for pick up. read more

i've been at multiple pottery places including different color me mine locations, and this time me and a friend had a bit of business in pasadena, and it is far from where we came from, so we figured we'd stop by to paint for about 2 hours as we had some time to kill. the painting process and overall supplies were great however, the service was not very good which made us not enjoy the experience as much. when we walked in, we did wanted to browse the selections before deciding to paint, and after we picked out our pieces, we sat down an empty table and a worker came over. after she got our names down, she asked us if we had a reservation, and if someone talked to us or discussed the directions at the beginning, and we said no. she went quiet and stared at us then walked away without saying anything as well as ignoring us, and we just sat there wondering if she would come back to give us some instructions or so. we were waiting for a while until i had to ask a worker if they could help us with the process. she said we can just write down the number of the colors and walk away which bummed me out a bit since the instructions were vague. a few different pottery places do have different firing techniques as well as glaze and whether we could use a pen or pencil, so i wanted to know what we should do. another worker came over and let us know we only have until 2:30 pm, and the time was around 1:10 when we started painting, which didn't feel like it was enough time and we do not have time to come back again to finish the pieces as we are hours away from here. i then asked her to give us directions and what we should do as we did not receive any word from the other workers, and she did helped explain the process which i did appreciate. since the workers limited accessibility to supplies such as the squeeze bottles and the paint itself, i had to stand at the area and wait for the workers to come by to help me yet they were busy talking with one another. after my friend paid, they did not give us a certain date to have it be picked up and just said next week, but we wanted to know a certain date since we were going to have a friend pick them up for us. overall, the employees could have communicated better and help us out more. i'm not sure if i would come back here when i'm in town. read more

Horrible company - everything is company policies, no empathy nor flexibility. 1) I bought 3 gift cards total worth $120. Kids lost them. why bother to take down my tel at time of purchase when you don't even record it. Should have reminded us to take down number behind the card in case we lost it. 2) We only found one card - so came with one kid (under 12 yrs old) at 11 am (yep we were late, my bad). Painting Session was 10-12 noon. I asked if we can stay a bit longer as the place is not filled. They said will check, obviously the didn't. 11:45 am came, we have 15 mins. I asked if we can stay longer if next round of customers aren't coming in yet. NO. It's company policy. When we left 12:10 pm only 2 new tables arrived, meanwhile 6 tables were empty. Imagine you go to a restaurant, they tell you of a 90-min dining time and insisted you have to leave when half of the restaurant is empty! No customers are queuing to paint. 3) As the place wasn't busy & I was babysitting friend's minor so I stayed w her. Upon checkout, they charged me US$10 for just sitting there! Furious. I said then why didn't you remind me that you would charging me $10 extra! (I wasn't painting at all, just watching her paint). Yep Company policy again. Never again - worst customer-friendly company. read more
