When I messed up she helped me start over and make the process so seamless and fun. So excited to see how it turns out!!! Give this woman a raise !!! read more

Color Me Mine - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Studio City, California

A friend and I tried this place for the first time and it was so fun! You get to use all the colors, sponges and brushes. The pottery itself can be a bit pricey. Anabel was such a great help with instructions :) and when you're done painting your piece, you have to leave it at the studio for about a week so they can have it glazed for you and you return to pick it up. read more

Fun, messy, creative, nice staff, great for (play) dates! My girlfriend booked us a date here and as someone who loves arts and crafts, this was so enjoyable for the both of us. The staff is extremely friendly, there are a variety of colors and objects to choose from, and during busy times, it isn't as crowded or noisy. The only downside for me is the cost of objects, the $10 paint fee is fine but painted a butter dish that was $36 so around $50 per person wasn't favorable for us. But, you do choose what you paint and you can always choose a less expensive object. The experience here can be duplicated at home for a DIY night, but we enjoyed our time, the diverse colors available and can't wait to pick up our finished glazed items :) read more

Went to a paint and sip birthday party for a friend. It was a fun idea, note ** will take you 2 hrs + ** you think you won't need too much time, but you will especially if the pairing item you choose is medium or above. Especially when talking and hanging with friends time flys by. Prices reasonable and they bake them for you and you come by and pick them up later. Parking is 90% street parking that is metered so bring quarters and try to remember how much time has passed by. The lady who helped us was kind and got our paints for us. Fun time would recommend for any age group(s) read more

Had a party of 10+ here. Staff on the phone were extremely kind in helping setup the reservation. Some partygoers arrived late. However, there wasn't much instruction or assistant day of from employees. Also, none of us were aware the items we painted would need to be melted until after when finished. We did have a lovely time and it was a fun thing to do with a large group of folks who may not know each other well. Oh and our items turned out cool read more

The staff here rocks!!! They were all so kind and patient with my big group of friends! We came here to celebrate my birthday and they even fixed a broken candle for my cake. We closed the place down and they were so kind and even turned up the music so we could boogie on our way out the door read more

The staff here is rude and not very welcoming. The signs state the staff will help you grab paint, bring you water, etc but none of that happened. We waited and then the staff told us we had to get our own stuff. After finishing our artwork, we paid for everything. Shortly after we got a text message saying they forgot to charge us for something so we returned (mind you there's no parking) only to find out she did charge us and made a mistake. Incompetent staff. read more

I had so much fun in the beautiful environment and I use the pottery every day. I highly recommend this for everyone.

This location is a treat! They have tons of workshops (and discounts too if you're on their email list) and the staff is always so good with our kids. Our 14 year old also takes a clay sculpting class once a month and loves it! The owner is lovely too. We've had times where we needed to reschedule on short notice and she was gracious/accommodating in response. We've been coming here for 6 years and have always had a wonderful experience! read more

Mickenna was amazing! I took my niece (1.5 year old) and it was a bit challenging but Mickenna made the process so smooth and easy! She was so patient, sweet, and helpful throughout the process. Whether it was grabbing paint, helping us dry the piece, or helping us clean up our mistakes.. she's amazing! Thank you, Mickenna for making our experience here so wonderful! read more

In the past owner and workers have been snarky over the phone but experience This time workers (I think, not sure if the owner was there) were nice for the most part. When looking for something to paint there was a piece that it was unclear what it was for, piggy bank, just a piece to display etc. picked up to see what it was and nonsensically it wasn't attached and the top fell off and broke. Apologied profusely and fully expected not to be charged. Ridiculous! When I went to pick up completed potter it was still displayed the same. The child I was with was very sad already that we had broken something. When we picked up they had written the wrong thing on the bottom (it was a gift), just didn't listen. Solution was to use a sharpie that didn't even match. Stuff was wrapped poorly, barely enough paper to cover items. Overall an unhappy experience. read more

When we called to make a reservation for our daughters birthday party, the staff member directed us to their website to make reservation online. My wife made the reservation, they took our deposit and sent confirmation email. Then we received their advertisement email where they list a pottery class for anybody on the same date and time that they supposedly took our reservation for. When my wife called, they had no idea about our reservation and just said that they won't honor it, even though we have the confirmation email and deposit was taken. This is outrageous and unacceptable business behavior. Terrible business. I wouldn't trust them with your children's special events. Oleg L Studio City read more

We surprised my wife for Mother's Day and we're really happy with the pottery that we painted... The service was a one and I highly recommend!! read more

Danielle literally flipped us off as we were leaving. I work in a setting where customer service is a very crucial part of our job so I understand that not every customer is going to be your favorite but asking us to leave at 6:30 instead of regular closing hours and helping everyone else in the store is not the customer service I was expecting when coming back to this color me mine. I literally watch her ask other customers if they wanted a pictures, brushes, or any other colors. Im not sure if this had anything to do with our race but it definitely seemed like it. Everyone in the store was white and we were the only people of color, not only that but my friends and I are still young and considering that this is a place that is meant to be for "families". The first time that we visited, the staff allowed us to stay a little bit past closing to finish up what we had going. We were met with excellent customer service by the two nice lady's working at the time. Its really disappointing because I had really enjoyed my first time coming here, but after experiencing everything with Danielle (in span of an hour and a half), I think Id rather spend my money and time somewhere else. To the business management, please consider the effect your upfront workers has on customers, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and customer service. read more

I wish I had the same experience as the previous reviews. I went to this location today, it was busy. The girl that showed us to our table was very nice and helpful. Enjoyed painting, the bad experience was at the end when it came to paying. The cashier Sarah had a terrible attitude. When we asked her questions she replied back with an attitude, she was not helpful at all. Her body language gave off as she was not happy to be there. You are working at a place that it's all about CUSTOMER SERVICE, if you are not a people person you are working at the wrong place.First and last time going to this location. read more

I went to Color me Mine on Tuesday and the cashier/ worker ariana was so rude. She kept giving us dirty stares and whenever we had a question she just kinda glared and answered rudely. she was also talking on the phone and walking around the place really loud, i'm not sure if it was a customer or not but it's disrespectful when i pay 30 bucks to paint something in peace and u have employees constantly giving u a hard time and being very loud and obnoxious. my bf also asked her for water and i get it u forget bit when i reminded her she just gave us a dirty look and went to get it. on top of all of this, she charged my bf a painting fee when he maybe painted for 2 minutes on the item i purchased and when he went to give her the 10 bucks he was short a couple cents and said to us rudely well who has the remaining balance. overall i felt very uncomfortable and because of her terrible customer service i will NOT be returning. ariana needs some serious attitude adjustment or a new job terrible experience read more

We had a great time!! So much things to paint! I recommend it for a date or a couple night! Customer service was superb! read more

The staff is EXTREMELY RUDE. I dealt with four different people (while we were painting and then for pickup) and they were all so rude. They acted like me and my party being there was a complete inconvenience. I will never be back to this location. Honestly, if you want to go to a Color Me Mine and are in this area I would just go to the Encino location. read more

Make sure you get here 2 hours before they close or else the unprofessional staff member, I believe her name is Madeline or something, she has long brown hair, will turn you away with giving you any information on when they stop taking people. She was rude and snippy. She was just being lazy. read more

I will never go back here.. service was terrible, I picked up my piece and a part of my mug had no paint on it they said it was because the paint was thick and melted during firing. Really upsetting because their prices are crazy expensive and I worked on my piece for so long and made it as a gift. Let me start off with my experience at the actual place. The worker wasn't very friendly. She said she had to get all my paints for me but whenever I needed more paint I had to get up out of my seat and literally walk around the store to look for her because I'd be waiting for like 5 minutes. And every time I asked her for more paint she seemed really annoyed so it made me uncomfortable. It happened at least 5 times. Then another worker told me I could get my own paint, but the other one said she had to get it for me. If the workers don't even agree then that's just ridiculous. Then when I'd ask for more paint she'd question me and say things like "are you sure? Do you really want to do that?" And make faces insisting that I would ruin my piece if I added anything. Just rude and made me want to leave in the middle of painting. So then I go to pick it up and it looks chipped and the same worker texts the kiln expert or whoever is in charge. She tells me that they can add paint and refire it but they can't guarantee that it won't melt off again. So I said I'll just take it because I'm giving it as a gift and I was seeing the person before the next time I can pick it up. All she said was "ok" and gave it back to me. Didn't even offer my money back. I basically paid $40 for a mug that was ruined in the firing process. Such a waste of time and money. read more

Hadn't been here in years until a friend brought me with her kids. Then we can again for her birthday. That's when I met Danielle and she told me about Midnight Madness. Happens once a month, usually right in the middle some where. I got completely hooked because it's all about the adults and you can create while you drink! YAY!! Back to Danielle....She's the absolute best!! Super knowledgeable, a fantastic artist, more patient then I would be and super fun! If she isn't the manager, she totally should be! She and the other employees like Jasmine, Katie and Pickles are a big reason why I've kept coming back and have spent so much $$! read more

Was able to make a last minute reservation for Valentine's Day on the day of around 1:30 pm. Our reservation was at 5 pm and they were having a Valentine's Day special for $30. That included the studio fee for one couple + four mini cupcakes + a cute little Valentine's Day cup with four cake pops and little decorations. We got there and our table was ready so we just chose our piece and started painting. The employees were very, very helpful. We probably asked them around ten questions. They were super nice and always helped us when they could. We were there for about three hours painting and it was a really good time. We'll definitely be back again. Great service, great experience! read more

During the summer of 2021, our kids (9 and 5 years old) and attended the camp and it was their most favorite camp. The owner, Dru, is the best and went to great lengths to create a safe and fun camp for the girls and their friends during the height of COVID. She is a small business owner and brought in an air purifier, everyone wore masks, checked temps at the door and hand sanitized upon entry. The camp is positioned in the back of the store, which is separate from the retail section, which was closed during most of the camp. She recently held a winter camp and cared for the girls as her own. The girls came home with the most creative projects that they were so proud to create. Love this place. read more

I'm gonna assume the lady up front was just having a bad day but she had a weird attitude the second we walked in. I get it, sometimes you're just not in the mood to work. But my friends and I came in and wanted to paint and she acted like that was out of the ordinary? She literally rolled her eyes and was like okay do you have a reservation? And we were like no... meanwhile it's empty in the store. Again, maybe it was an inconvenience that we didn't make one but the overall vibe was unwelcoming. She then sighs and says well it's really recommended next time you have a reservation. Throughout our whole visit she would roll her eyes when we asked for something and it just came off very rude. I don't like to leave reviews like this, coming from someone who also works in customer service. I just was disappointed with the customer service. read more

Writing a review on my experience at the Color Me Mine in studio city . As this is not my first time at this location I was so disappointed with the customer service me and my daughter received today. As we walked in not only were we not welcomed in or greeted but we waited approximately 10 to 15 minutes in the front while Katy the cashier/host chatted with another customer in the back. Ones we got her attention she rudely asked "what are you here for" ones we filled out the paper work we sat down and waited another 10 min while she assisted other customers. When she returned to use she asked again with a tone "what colors do you want" another 10 min waiting for the colors as she stood talking with what I wanna assume was another customer. I remind you I have a toddler (2years old) . Finally after the waiting we finally got to color our mug. The whole Time Katy was on her phone, we felt we didn't get our regular customers service or attention . What's more upsetting is as we are sitting down painting and customers are walking in she greets them with a "welcome how can I help you today" when all we got was "what are you here for" her attention was focused on others around her but myself and my daughter. This made our experience so unsatisfying and disappointing. At the end when we were ready to leave. She was busy texting and talking to new guest who had came in. When I had already told her I was ready to check out. I didn't even get a thank you, come again. She didn't even tell me when I was able to pick up my daughter craft that she made. How can they have one employee on duty ? How can this employee not be consistent with her Customer service? Why were we treated differently? As this is one of our favorite location I don't see myself Coming back. read more

My son came here for a birthday party and when we went to pick up what he made a week later, we had a horrible experience with the manager, Danielle. She gave us a small bag with one of the items he made and I let her know that there were more items. She starts to get all defensive and upset saying that the kids at the party were only supposed to make one item and now someone has to pay for these other items. I had to show her a picture of my son painting the other items in order for her to believe me. She then starts to yell at another worker saying that whoever handled the party, will no longer handle them because of this. Danielle needs to take a chill pill. read more

Sometimes I wake up and decide I want to paint. No reason behind it, sometimes, I just think of something I want to make, and I decide that I am going to make it. However, I really enjoy making functional art, things I can use when I am done. So, I really love going to Color Me Mine and making dishes for my home. A year or two ago, I discovered CMM on a long drive home from work. I found it to be a wonderful way to relax and be creative. I ended up making a whole set of various "tattoo themed" plates and mugs. Each one was an exciting project for me. I still use those plates and mugs. This last Saturday, I woke up with an itch to make something, I want to make an entire set of Alice In Wonderland themed dishes. Dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and maybe even mugs. I will start with the dinner plates first though. Each one will have a different character featured on it. I will make a total of six. So I set off with my book of images in hand to begin working on my first plate, the White Rabbit. I arrived around 12:30 and there were few people in the store. I quickly selected my pieces and got to work. I had been here so many times before, there was no need for instruction. However the staff there is very helpful and will explain everything to you. This specific store is my favorite, it is pretty large, has friendly staff and a good selection of paints. For those who are going here to do some really artwork, the lighting is much better in this store than the Santa Monica one and you can see much better. I ended up spending almost 9 hours here painting (hey it takes a long time to paint everything THREE TIMES!) and the staff never made me feel bad about it. They let me bring in my lunch so that I could continue painting. Some tips when coming to this store, there is parking underneath as well as street parking, but watch out because you can only park there for two hours. There are several food selections around the area that you can try if you need to take a break. The do have special days during the week where the paint time is cheaper, and certain days when they are open until 12am. Paint time is $10 whether you are there for 20 minutes or 9 hours, so you might as well get your piece done all at one time. If you are looking for a good way to relax and spend some time being creative, I suggest checking out Color Me Mine, as it is a great way to have fun making art AND you have something functional in the end. read more

Color Me Mine - My plate after I finished painting it but before it is fired in the kiln. - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Studio City, California

Normally, I wouldn't leave a review for color me mine. But I ordered a gift for my wife on February 28th for March 14th. I decided to check the status and I saw it hadn't yet shipped by March 8th I understand that these things take time but I emailed this studio with my predicament. They apologized for the delay (I'm sure they are busy) and remedied the situation so quickly. Her gift came before her birthday so that I could take my kids to complete her color me mine gift. I truly appreciate their work and communication. read more

I don't write reviews unless I feel extremely compelled in one direction or the other. In this case, I felt the need to warn other customers about this particular location and the fine print. I nanny for a girl in the neighborhood. We are regulars here, we go in at least a few times a year and sometimes I bring her friends. This is now the second time we've been in to this location and left with an unexpected fee. The first time there was an 18% gratuity added for our party of six but this was not communicated until went to check out. Apparently this is clear when you book online but we were walk-ins and nobody told us. It ended up being an extra $60 we were not expecting. The manager (Brandy) said there are signs posted about the fee but I don't know anyone who reads all of the fine print when they walk into a business with 6 kids in tow. This is something that should be communicated when they set up your party, not at check out. Today, I went in with two girls and one of them broke the top of a $20 piece that had been painted and was going to be sold. Brandy charged us $40 for the piece which included the cost of the item and an "artist fee". Our entire visit was only $60 but we ended up paying $115 because of the accident. It's a pottery painting place that caters to children, things are going to break!!Most businesses account for those accidents, they don't charge their customers. I thought both instances were handled very poorly and with zero grace on behalf of the store. Customer service is not important to them, not even for regular customers. read more

me and my friends came in two days ago and the girl working at this time was very sweet and guided us through what we needed to do. today we decided to come back in to finish our pottery painting. but as soon as me and my friends walked into the store, DANIELLE (the worker with blonde hair and a big tattoo on her right arm), was extremely rude and acted very cold towards us. we told her how the other employee from the other day MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO US that we could come in again and finish our paintings for FREE. FREE OF CHARGE. when we told DANIELLE this, she blamed us for not knowing their policy correctly and how we had to take our pottery home if we were planning to come back and finish it. we were NEVER informed of this information and we didnt understand why she was speaking this rudely towards us as if we were the ones who work here. as we were painting, there were other people in the room, yet, she only approached them and asked them if they need any paint, if they needed any assistance, she even asked two girls if they wanted her to take a photo for them. she never approched us like how she did to the other people. a bit later she came to our table with a check saying, "just so you guys know we have a $5 fee for coming back." we told her that the employee front the other day made it clear to us that we can come back and finish our pottery painting, free of charge. she gave us a look as if we were stupid and after she double checked with her coworker, she came to our table and grabbed the check with the recipt and crumpled it up in her hand. when we were finished painting, my friend threw away her trash in the trash can, not knowing that it would be an ISSUE. as we left the store, we watched as she took the trash out of the trash can and FLIPPED US OFF. She also constantly asked us to leave before closing and told us to "wrap it up by 6:30" even though on the website it says they close at 7. DANIELLE was extremely rude and made the whole experience very unpleasant and we did not have a good time. i do NOT recommend coming to this place if you want to have a good time. being flipped off by an ADULT as teenagers is very immature and this is not how you treat your customers. read more

Where should I start??? THIS PLACE IS GREAT!!! After my fourth midnight madness event with my besties and their besties, I have to admit that I am addicted!! I get to be creative in ways that I never thought I would. The staff is very helpful, and patient. Our group gets larger every month. Every new guest we bring loves the experience just as much. There is so much more I would like to paint each visit. Their shelves are always stocked with a variety of different potential masterpieces! Also, they are always stocked with the most current holiday pieces! I would definitely recommend this to everyone!! Even if you think you don't have a creative bone in your body, you will find it a Color Me Mine!!! read more
