We had such a great time painting our projects at Color Me Mine. There was a huge selection of plates, cups, cute figurines, tea pots, etc. to make our very own. The staff were all very helpful and attentive. We can't wait to see our finished product! read more

The staff was very helpful and attentive. Although the store was busy they were able to help me and my grandson.

I have been to multiple Color Me Mine locations throughout CA, Petroglyphs, and other out of state pottery locations like As You Wish. This is the only location I have been to where they only have 1 wall of paint that you have to leave the paint bottles there and get up each time to get more paint. It's an inconvenience when you have a bigger piece and using a lot of 1 color so you have to keep getting up. They don't keep their art techniques displayed so you can see how they come out like carving, stencil, lace, bubbles, puff paint, writers, screen printing...so if you are new or just need some extra inspiration for your piece then this place isn't for you. They said they don't like to have much out due to kids. They also said I can go on the website to check out techniques or look at the tv. I asked for bubbles for my piece and I had 3 employees walk over to me with the cup, I was a little confused on that part. I personally will drive further to go to paint where I feel comfortable and not feel like I have to constantly wait or ask for help when it comes to things I may want to use or check out to see if I want to use it. read more

This location of color me mine is truly wonderful, I used to go to the Pleasanton one but not anymore, the overall quality of this location is so much nicer. They also provide a large amount of more tools like to do details and the paint brushes are way more variety and cleaner. Staff is so nice and helpful and I never had to ask for anything, everything was super clean and I went on a weekday and it was nice and peaceful and I would definitely come here all the times I want to paint from now on. Definitely come to this location to try it out! read more

I stopped in today, the day before Mother's Day. It was quite busy so I expected to wait. I was greeted immediately and I mentioned I was interested in items to paint offsite. Kelsey helped me with the paints and brushes. She could not have been nicer or more helpful. It was so pleasant that I came back and thanked her again and she wished me an early Mother's Day. Absolutely stellar service! read more

A surprise visit for my granddaughter. She pointed out to me that there were several grandmothers there at the same time as us with their granddaughters. Very organized place very kind staff. Everyone was very attentive. read more

Great spot for all ages! Took my toddler here to paint a pumpkin. I had been here before many times but I think they have undergone new ownership. It has a more "modern" aesthetic to it now. Plus they have a sweet mascot now :) Mochi! read more

First and LAST time I'll be coming here. The woman working on Sunday, April 12th at 11:15am was the rudest employee I have ever encountered and because of her - I won't be back. I wish I got her name so I could put her on blast and I hope she learns some customer service skills. read more

Awesome place to come and get into a flow state staff are super friendly and pieces are fun+cute

Took my daughter there for her birthday (adult daughter). The service was pretty bad no instructions no help until we asked what the process was. When we were done I asked how to pay and give them our stuff they acted like I was an idiot. I haven't been there before and just didn't know the process. After terrible service they wanted a tip. Not sure what the tip would be for as we couldn't even get basic information on any of this. Next was to pick up our stuff where they were actually rude. Asked for my last name twice and finally sighed and asked my phone number. I would understand if it was a hard name but it wasn't. Very expensive $192 in total to be treated as though we were not worth their time. So since we were treated to not be worth their time we will spend our time elsewhere in the future read more

Love color me mine! My son and I have been there many times since he was little! We've made Christmas gifts and ornaments; Mother's Day and father day gifts; and birthday gifts. Anytime I ask for a gift made by my kid, it comes from color me mine. We love painting together and then seeing the finished product, a few days later. We've also been to a kids birthday party's there, which everyone enjoyed! I would recommend this to anyone looking to make/give a unique, artsy, homemade type of gift! read more

This place is a racket. We organized a party for 12 people here. They said they had a room for 12 people, it turned out to be a hallway with a *tiny* shelf for our food and cake. Our questions about a trash can, a card table, a place to put our ice cream for the cake, all answered with nos. We can't help with that. SUPER surprised at this considering they have a party room for up to 30 people (and no spare table or fridge???) They have the painting part dialed in, staff were helpful though 2 hours is not enough time and we all felt hurried along out of our hallway space. The worst part is how expensive the ceramics are. You guys, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Thus is a chain that buys these cheap things in bulk and then the markup is insane. Take your money elsewhere, ideally a small business. I certainly will next time. read more

The nicest staff and a good rotating array of pottery options. They all seem to enjoy their work and are help ful if any questions!

Staff is so warm and attentive. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and given a short intro into the process. The experience was so relaxing. A variety of pieces to choose from, and I never felt rushed as I took a long time to paint my child's birthday plate. Overall lovely experience and I will be going back. read more

Cute place, friendly staff, great instructions, really nice pottery selections and good paint. My husband and I had a relaxing and fun time for our date afternoon. We are planning on coming back again! read more

We love color me mine. It is now under new ownership and the prices were more than they were. The studio is clean, organized and remodel. The ladies and owners were all friendly and kind. They have the sweetest dog that hangs out at the studio. They have fun options to pick to paint with a full paint selection. One thing I didn't like was higher price then asked for a tip at check out. Over it was great and we will be back. read more

I had a great time with my Family painting our favorite ceramic. We were so busy painting and chatting that we were there for almost 3 hours . We had fun and couldn't wait to see our art work a week later. This place is very busy. I recommend to call first and make a reservation. It's a nice place for families and friends to get together and just have fun. read more

Don't waste your time or money on this location. The store team's communication is absolutely awful. I had reservations for their valentines day event, to which we still had to put our name and number down for a 2 hour wait list. Color me mine never called me. I called them at 6:45pm to ask why I was never called. Their response was an "it was an oversight and accidentally didn't call me". To rectify this one of the employees named Cameron emailed me with 2 free studio passes so I could come back at a later time and date due to the fact that despite me "booking the tickets" for the valentines day event AND putting my name and number down to be called, I was never contacted. I go in today to redeem the passes and make some pottery, the manager and employee tell me the passes expired. No where on Camerons email did he mention the passes expire nor over the phone on valentines day when telling me he was going to email the free studio passes. Today when I was telling the employees that the email didn't include the passes expiration date, they didn't care. They didn't offer any sympathy, understanding or at the least anything for a discounted rate. They simply stated the passes expired and that was it. I've now wasted my time, my gas money on 2 occasions driving to this location just to be let down and disappointed by their horrid communication. Dont bother going here or spending your time and money here. read more

My children gave me a date with my 3 granddaughters for my birthday this year. The oldest is 4 1/2 and the other two are 2 1/2. I arrived 30 minutes early which was a good thing as they were crowded and taking names. Because of their impending renovation the ceramic selection was very limited. They have 60 paint colors available. They have lots of stamps, stencils and sponges to use. Though the seem to have lots of brushes the selection we had were worn and not the best. The girls and I had a good time. They all want to do it again. read more

do not "book a party" here!!! Had a pretty awful experience here recently. They charge $150 for you to reserve for a "party" which would be fine, except you have a 2 hour window, yet when you just come in to paint without a party, you don't have a window. We were rushed and the entire party could barely get through 1 piece when most had planned on and picked out 2. That was disappointing - but let alone would we have any time to chat or eat our food that we brought or enjoy company. It was such a waste of money and honestly the worst birthday. The owner is SOOO RUDE. I called earlier in the week and spoke with a nice girl who told us that we could bring our own table to set up some food and drinks that we were bringing. We get there and they have only a very small table for us to use for our food so I wanted to set mine up - the owner came over and told me "I am the owner and this is the only table that you have to work with you were misinformed on the phone, you cannot set up a table anywhere else. This is a walk way and the corner you cannot set it up there either." with the rudest attitude I've ever experienced - with zero offer to even attempt to come up with something or accommodate, after we paid $150 and then were paying for our pieces for 11 people as well. Guess she doesn't want anyone to come back! I also didn't ask if she was the owner? What I should have said was "cool, you're the owner.. good for you! well I'm the CUSTOMER, so can you at least attempt to try and make my "party" that I paid you for nice and give us some space to work with or try and help us figure out a solution?" She had no interest. It was honestly bizarre and she should not be in charge or running any establishment. The BEST part... when our peices were ready, I went and picked them up and saw there was a party in the same spot that we had been in with a huge balloon arch set up right in the exact area that I asked to set up my table and she told me no. Guess she only makes things work for certain people. Veryyyy interesting! Save your time and don't give them a dollar. I wish I hadn't! read more

First & last time we'll be there. Super cramped place, un-friendly, "stern" staff, not a jovial, cheerful venue.

I think I'm going to make it tradition to go back to this color me mine every year and paint something new! The workers here were so nice and helpful! We paid around $50 in total and got two mugs which in my opinion is very worth it for the memory. It took us so long to paint... we underestimated the time drastically. We were thinking it would take an hour or two but it took close to 4 because it's recommended to do 3 coats per color! Maybe bring a light easy snack if you can... I'm not sure what their food policy is but we were starving by the time we were done. We went as soon as they opened on a Sunday and watched the small shop fill to the brim with customers!! Definitely get there early or go on a weekend if possible. read more

I took a four-year-old and a two year old there to paint an item. One little unicorn one little truck. Over $60. It was fun, but not some thing we would do often because of the expense. read more

This review is long overdue and my experience was prior to shelter in place order. Initially I was going to take my god daughter ceramic painting for her bday at a place I found in Benicia since we live in Solano county but that place ended up being closed... despite me calling a day before to confirm their hours. Was disappointing!!! We ended up coming here and I was happy with our experience. Glad they did not require appointments and was able to accommodate us. We went during the week so it was not busy at all. Place was small compared to the one in Dublin but still sufficient enough space and they had good options of ceramic pieces to choose from. Staff was helpful and friendly and our pieces were ready when promised. I'd come back here... but not if it was during a busy time and if I had a group with me since it's small. read more

We came here for a date night and had a great time. We decided to paint a bowl together. The owners were very nice, it was taking us longer than we planned and they didn't kick us out at closing or pressure us to finish up. They were very accommodating. The studio is nice and clean, the staff are quick to bring fresh water or new paint pallets as needed. I'm excited to pick up our project next week and see how it turned out! read more

Went here with my 6-yo buddy about a month ago. She's super into artsy stuff so I thought we'd give this a try. She LOVED it!! Honestly so did I - it was a fun way to spend a few hours together doing something creative. The pieces can be pricey, so I can't bring her back here all the time, but it was a fun experience. Having the fluffy shop-dog MOCHI hanging out that day was awesome. Between petting Mochi & painting, my girl had a blast. read more

Very friendly and helpful. The studio is well organized and has a great fun vibe to it. The housedog is adorable. Highly recommend

Under the new ownership, this place is much more organized and cleaner. We like color me mine when we are lacking of kids activities. Prices aren't cheap as it always been like that. But if you pick up some useful items for your homes, it can be worth it and appreciate it. This is good for kids at least age 6 and above........ I often see birthdays here too. Can be very busy especially on hot days in late afternoon (2pm-3pm) on the weekends. read more

My kid attended a kids night out activity this past month and had a lot of fun! They made a beautiful and large platter for thanksgiving/ fall and although they didn't finish painting as much as they'd like to, the staff member helping him was kind enough to highlight the parts he didn't have time to finish. Anyways, we picked it up and it looks better than expected! read more

Color me mine in Walnut Creek was great! The studio is located in a beautiful, sunny, bright and spacious studio in Walnut Creek! Their studio always has a large variety of pottery pieces to chose from (mugs, plates, bowls, figurines, banks, night lights, seasonal decor, etc.). Their studio is well organized with tables to choose colors at and plan your design, a "paint station" to fill up colors and get brushes, etc. My friends and I aren't very creative and noticed that on their website they have a "projects" page with lots of cool step by step paint instructions to help guide us with our painting and colors. When we revived out items they were well cared for and turned out wonderfully ! Highly recommend it for a creative outing! read more

Finally went to pick up my painted ice cream bowl and upon inspecting it in the store, I pointed out the chipped bowl to the employee. The employees must've chipped it when glazing because it wasn't chipped when I painted it. Clearly, the painted part fell off after glazing. I showed the lady and the lady said they could paint over it but that doesn't fix the issue since there would still be a bump on my item. I paid over $30 for this piece and that was all they could offer to "resolve" the issue. This place obviously doesn't handle customers art carefully. I've been to Terra Mia in SF, and found their handling customers art and their art space a lot more satisfactory, roomy and airy. This Walnut Creek studio is extremely stuffy and tight inside and not a comfortable place to paint. I would not recommend this place and won't come back. read more

Me and my friends visited color me mine recently this past summer and painted pottery pieces. We each chose something different and then we're instructed on how to get started with our projects and painted (their websites have step by step instructions for specific designs). We picked up our pottery pieces a week later and they were all in great condition. Highly recommend visiting this pottery/ art studio in Walnut Creek! read more

Our family of 4 went recently for my daughter's birthday (she turned 27!) We used to come here pretty often when the kids were younger and they even attended a camp here in elementary school which they loved. (I don't know if they have the camp anymore). We had a blast. All the workers were excellent- helpful, patient, knowledgeable. Even on a busy Saturday we didn't feel rushed at all, nor was it chaotic or loud. I can't wait to get our pieces back! The studio fee is only $10 per person but the bisque ware is expensive- many are between $20-$30. It is a very fun experience. read more

This place has absolutely everything to enjoy your time with kids . Thank you for the experience
