The lovingly painted seahorse that never came home.
Navin K.

I'm writing this review from the point of view of our 8-year old daughter, not from that of parents who have had an event at this studio. Our daughter loves art projects - water colors, sketches, crafts, ceramics. She has been to Color Me Mine on at least four occasions in the last six months, but has only one ceramic figurine to show for it. A bright red Angry Bird Money Bank. Because none of the others came home. They either cracked in the studio or in the home of the party host. One such mishap can be chalked down to bad luck or negligence, but three? I doubt it. More likely it has something to do with the way they process the ceramic figurines after the kids paint them. Which is a shame, because the kids have fun and the events seem well organized. On the latest occasion a few weeks ago, our daughter painted a seahorse, and she was so excited to bring it home. I even made it a point to speak to the Color Me Mine staff and told them to please be careful with her figurine as she loved painting it but was concerned she'd never get it. They expressed surprise, promised to take care of her seahorse, and even "made a note." Alas - it cracked before she got it. To say she was disappointed is an understatement. It is not fun to tell your kid that their lovingly painted figurine "broke". And likely even less fun to tell this to their friends. Which is why we are not planning to host any events here.

I was here for the first time, an early mother's day celebration. I loved the concept of picking the art and painting it. We really enjoyed it and the service was great, we were given instructions as what to do, how to do and lots of paints, and brushes of all kinds. I loved it so much that I am planning to hangout at this place and paint more of them.

Glazed and fired ceramic pieces

I've been meaning to write this review for ages. I came here in October 2020, so prime pandemic time. I had a cute idea for a project to do with my new baby. I used their website to select the pieces that I wanted and the paint colors I needed for pick up the next day. The lady who helped me was super nice. When I showed up, she showed me the pieces I had selected and I actually wanted to change one out for a different tray. That wasn't a problem at all. She also showed me all the paints to see if I wanted any other colors, then packed everything up safely in a bag for me and rang me up. I did my thing at home and brought my pieces back to be glazed and fired. That is all part of the cost of purchasing the item so it's not extra. It was only a couple days and they gave me a call to say my pieces were ready. Again the lady who helped me when I showed up was so nice and showed me everything came out great before wrapping them up. I would happily come here again for at home painting or to paint in the little studio as it's in beautiful downtown Pleasanton.

Object selection done, now on to color....

We needed a Winter Break Activity for our young women. They knew the drill from previous visits... and choose their objects, and colors. They got right to work crating their masterpieces. They are now located at 350 Main St in Pleasanton, and open at 11 AM....YELP information states 10 AM They had a great time.

I came in one weekday afternoon for a team building activity. I've never been to a Color Me Mine before and had a really great experience. There's so many different figurines and items that you can choose from. There were certain things I wanted to paint, however I was concerned with the level of detail required on some items. We were situated with a color palette and endless colors to choose from. I picked an adorable honey pot that I was very happy in choosing from tons of options before me. The best advice I can give is layer your pots as much as you can! It's recommended to do at least 3 layers if you want the color to really show. I probably had layered mine with paint tons of times! Haha! Also, focus on the color on the tile samples rather than the color you see. It will look different once it's fired up and as the finished product. I had such a great time relaxing and all I had to worry about was what color I'd choose next. No worries if you make a mistake, there are handy sponges that you can wipe away any unwanted paint. You'll have to wait about a week to receive your item and they'll usually give you a call once it's ready. Overall, mine turned out wonderful and I'm so happy I'll be able to display it!

After curing

I love color me mine. The staff are super sweet and caring. The selection is wide and very nice. I came here a couple of days ago and sat for 5 hours just painting my heart out. I recently got them a week or so ago. Will definitely be back with friends and family!

She chose the clay art activity with a "Sea Friends" theme because it sounded creative and exciting for the kids, but the actual experience did not meet expectations at all. There were only three very simple animal designs offered, which was far too limited for a two-hour birthday party and not engaging enough to keep the children interested. The employees assisting with the activity did not appear to be properly trained to host or manage a children's party. Their instructions were unclear, they spoke very softly, and there was little enthusiasm or interaction with the kids. The atmosphere felt dull and unorganized instead of fun and energetic like a birthday celebration should be. Many of the children lost interest quickly because there was no excitement, guidance, or effort to keep them engaged. What was most disappointing was that, despite booking a two-hour party, the actual clay activity lasted only around 40 minutes. After that, there was very little for the kids to do, leaving them bored and restless for most of the remaining time. As a parent spending money to create a memorable milestone birthday for my daughter, I expected a much better-planned and professionally hosted experience. I chose this place hoping it would create happy memories for my daughter and her friends, but instead it turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience for both the kids and the parents attending the party.

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.

After waiting for a while an associate comes out and roughly explains what the process is and disappears again- fine by me but I know a fist timer would be pretty confused. The color selection is very poor. They have a row of colors just plain colors, much less than what I've seen other places. The pottery options are also pretty lackluster and pricey for what they are. The positive part of this rating goes to the lovely associate that helped us the first time. She was lovely and kind, but my overall frustration that led me to this overall rating was picking up my pottery today. Again was not very fully and I see a line of people at the front. Cool I get it. But the associate had not a single sense of urgency in her. She just slowwwwwwly walked to the back looked around slowwwwly came back. Once it was my turn she didn't even ask why I was here just stared at me so I told her I was picking up and she asks for a picture of the item..? Wtf? Not even a name phone number or email that they require when dropping off my items but a picture? I had to scroll and find them. Once I show her she's like..ok when were you here? Geez do you want my outfit details that day too? How ridiculous. They need a better sorting system I saw her looking around and several pieces. Then she sloooowwlly comes over to me and dumps my plates on a table nearby and some crumpled bags next to it and just says "ok you can look at them" and leaves to the back again. Frustrated I get my pieces and dip. I don't know if it's because I've been to muuuuch better where they also treat me better. But this place was such a let down. Also picky side note the music they put sucks.

We chose the paint-your-own pottery option, but they also offer so many other activities like candle making and canvas painting. There was a great variety of pottery to choose from, and we ended up picking a mix of bowls, mugs, and piggy banks. Ani was so lovely! She explained the entire process clearly, had color samples available, and literally provided every single tool you could need. The thing I loved the most was that they really let you take your time, and the atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing, perfect for all ages. Even after they technically closed, they kept the shop open so we could finish our pieces, and we never felt rushed for even a second. They handled the firing, and we came back the following week to pick up our finished pieces. The colors came out so vibrant and perfect, and they even wrapped everything up for us!! It was my mom's birthday, and they surprised her with a free candle on the house, which was incredibly thoughtful. The staff is genuinely kind, supportive, and passionate, and I would absolutely choose to support this business over large, commercially owned art studios. We will definitely be coming back!!

So many colors and ceramic pieces to choose from! From sculptures to household/practical items. I love that they show tiles of what the paint color will look like Turnaround time to pick up your piece is relatively quick: ~4 days (ie finish sunday, pick up thursday) They have a lot of tools / resources to help design your piece (ie tape, lace, stencils, puffy paint, etc) An area they could improve on is their brushes - I don't always love the brushes they provide since it feels like they've been misused (not their fault but could be prevented but informing customers on how to properly use brushes), so i usually bring my own. Parking: never had trouble- there's free parking behind the store or around the neighborhood
