This was a fun and cute activity to do with friends for a birthday! I do wish they took reservations or had some sort of online or calling system where you could see how long a wait would be or anything like that. I did feel a bit rushed towards the end The staff was super kind and on it. They made sure we were well taken care of and always checked in on us. I also do wish it were transparent about the studio fee (which I totally understand and get) but it's not mentioned until when you're paying read more

The waitlist was three hours, and we ended up waiting 5 hours because they were unsure how long painters would take, they called us at 7:30 and they began rushing us at 8:30.. I feel that if we one had that little time then we should of been informed, instead of being rushed, paid 115$ to rush a painting, if we were informed then we probably would of not wasted 115$ to be rushed on painting, but waited five hours for other painters. Other customers complained as well behind us because they waited and were rushed out as well. I would try somewhere else because if you wait all day then you will pay and then be rushed out so they can close and you still have to pay while rushing a fast painting. read more

This is my second time here and it's still awesome! Took my mom here last year for mother's day and this year too! read more

Super fun! Family friendly, and fun pottery choices! Perfect place to do a free paint

We did a girls day here and had an amazing time. Would recommend to asking how long it takes for the final product though, we are from out of town and will leave soon, my sis-in-law will have to ship ours to us, only found out after we had started.But overall fun experience!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE..... between the long waits and the unprofessional staff you will not be happy. The first 3 times we went in things were great, after that, my pieces went missing, pieces are being destroyed or altered, and when something is said to them, you get an excuse of "well that's our busy time of the year so things are bound to happen". I'm sorry do what? It's your busy time of the year so I have to deal with it? I spend good money to do this and expect quality product with professionalism. I will NEVER use this place again. $1,000+ dollars spent in 2 months here (between family functions and team) and it doesn't matter. They are a chain so customer retention is not a priority to them. Go find you a small studio that wants your business and values you as a customer. We found an amazing one! Oh don't get me started on the to go kits either. They tried charging me for a party $100 plus studio fees, plus pottery because 12 pieces were going to be purchased (not even by the same people). Well come to find out, a to go party is only $50 anyways. Please take my advice and steer clear. There are better studios around with better selections of pottery!!!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. I was here December of 2024 and paints two pieces, it took NINE MONTHS, nine.. 9 months.. for them to find our pieces.. it usually takes a week or two for them to fireblast it or whatever and give it to customers.. it took NINE months of us calling, going into the store just for them to never answer the phone, shop closed for private event etc etc, and when I finally got the pieces i demanded an explanation and refund, to which they made me wait 20minutes while they "called the owner" but nobody could get ahold of them when I tried calling myself my phone always goes straight to voicemail. The most incompetent & unprofessional place iv ever been to. DO NOT GO HERE read more

This place is great! Every staff member was super friendly and informative. We had never been there before, and she asked that question so we got the whole run down and then got to work. The process to pay and pick up was super easy. Our pieces came out perfect. Highly recommend coming in early enough to get your piece done. This was totally a detailed ME thing. The staff didn't rush me they were super polite and told me there was no rush. We made sure we left 5-10 before closing so they could clean up, but in no way felt rushed. read more

We love Color Me Mine! The staff is always polite and the owners are absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend!

I love this location! I go painting here pretty frequently, the store is clean and has a lot of pottery and paint options. The girl that helped me is named Abby and she was very helpful and kind. read more

My husband and I were not sure what to expect from this experience but we were really pleased with the location, service and experience as a whole. We have been to a couple paint and sip locations for painting on canvas and decided we loved this experience even more because of how casual and fun it was to just paint at our own pace without instruction. This is a really fun location and the staff were really friendly, helpful and made our experience that much better. Even when it started getting busy and the tables were filling up, the staff still checked on us and refilled our water pot to wash our brushes. We are waiting to pick up the two garden gnomes we painted for our anniversary and I am happy to say we definitely will be back in the future. read more

I came in to paint tonight and the studio was completely full with only ONE employee working! Who has only one person working on a Friday night? It was crazy busy and the poor kid was clearly stressed out. I felt so bad for her that I turned right around and left. Hopefully they figure out their staffing issues or they'll keep losing business. read more

Had a bad experience my first time here, but I decided to try it again. Painting experience was fine, and the girl working there at the time was helpful. My daughter and I painted a picture frame for my husband's birthday. I was assured that the backing and glass would be put on for me after the frame front was fired. Picked up my items today, and the back of the picture frame was glued on upside down. The frame backing was designed to only work one way. We had put "daddy" on the frame, so it should have been obvious which way was up. I happened to look at it before leaving the Orchard, so I went back and showed it to the employee. She wouldn't do anything to fix it. She told me that I could pull it off and re-glue it myself. For the $30 I paid for this 5x7 frame (which sounds high imho), not including the studio fees and taxes, they should have made it right. They gave me an item that they screwed up and they couldn't care less. Both times I've come here, I've waited and waited for the call to come pick up my items. The first time, they gave my items to someone else (a friend we had been there with). Luckily our friends told us they had taken our things back to the store. When we went to pick them up, the employee made a snarky remark about it being ready for pick up for a week (really? But nobody called to tell us?). This time, no call but I was nearby so I stopped in, and sure enough it was ready but with no notification. Maybe the teenagers working there could make some calls when business is slow. You know, like they are supposed to? read more

Color Me Mine - Would have preferred for this to be assembled the correct way, considering the $$ it cost me. They wouldn't do a thing about it. - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

EDIT! I changed it to 2 stars because I came to pick up our pottery-- in the allotted time-- and they very rudely told me it wasn't ready, and would be ready the next day. I returned a few days later and they had to search and hunt to find it. The glaze on the handle of the mug has chipped, but I really don't want to go back there for a re-fire. They acted like I was stupid for coming to pick up-- on the date they said it would be ready. RUDE! Original review: Over the President's Day holiday, it was a cold, wet, snowy day. We decided that the snow was too mushy to go sledding, but we didn't want to just sit at a movie. We checked google maps, and sure enough, Color Me Mine was open on that rainy Monday off of school. I nanny for a 5th grader and we had a blast! This location had parking that was easy (but it could have been due to the snow!) and there were lots of tables to sit at. We enjoyed sitting by the window where we could enjoy the nice sunlight and see the snow falling down outside. Color Me Mine is a Paint-your-own pottery studio, like many others. They seemed to be semi-full service, as we picked out our pieces (a Happy Hippo figurine for her, a travel mug for me) and then looked at the colors of glaze available. One of the employees helped us pick our glazes and poured them in our palettes, but then welcomed us to getting refills on our own. She didn't give us much instruction, but since we'd been to similar places before, we didn't need too much help. They have lots of different sizes of good-quality paint brushes, sponges, and squirt bottles available. The supplies are neatly organized on shelves so that you can help yourself to the different brushes. The store was clean and with the butcher paper on the tables, we felt like we could make a (reasonable) mess and it was fine. On Mondays they have a reduced studio fee ($3 a person!) and the price of the pieces was reasonable. We are looking forward to picking up our pieces, all shiny and fired, in about a week. read more

My 5 year old son and I had a great time painting. The place was clean and tidy and the staff was very helpful. The colors are easily marked and accessible. Our pottery was done in about a week, they called to let me know and it was wrapped for us to pick up. I would give it 5 stars but I feel like it was a bit proverb than most other painting places. We will be back. read more

I booked my daughters 8th Birthday party and I for sure thought it would be a good experience. We have never been to one of these. When I first walked in I stood there for a good a few minutes, because nobody came to greet me or tell me where I needed to be in go. Someone finally came up to me and asked if I was there for the party. I said yes she led me back to two tables and said these are your tables and walked away. Again we have never been here before. I had to go up to the three young workers 3-4 times to ask for guidance. I didn't know where the paint was, or if I was supposed to check in or anything. I finally asked what people typically do and their answer was pick a piece and get your paint. Workers were absolutely useless and did not provide any help or guidance unless I asked a million questions. For the company to put a 15% mandatory tip is absurd! Please don't waste your money here and go else where. read more

Great new management! Super friendly and customer centered. Give these guys a shot and ignore the OLD reviews. read more

Color Me Mine - Lots of kids having an awesome time! - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

I was told it was too late to come up tonight...It's was 4:54 and they close at 6pm. They close early to clean. I know this may blow your mind...but you could make your close time the time of day you will accept people. Why do you publish 6pm for the public if they can't come in even at 5pm. Make your close time 4:30. Pathetic management. I assume the management team knows about this since I'm not the first yelper to post about their posted operational hours being innacurate. And the management team didn't comment on it. read more

Why are they open until 9pm if they stop taking painters at 7pm? We've come many times and never take more than an hour. Disappointed even though under new management read more

Took my kids there on Sunday, April 29th at 2:00pm to paint. When we walked in, we were approached by a girl who worked there and was told they were closing at 4:00 due to a private party. I said that was fine and that we would be gone by then. She said that was fine. My girls started looking for pottery to paint. Approached by second girl who worked there, said the same. Again, told her we would be gone by the time they needed us to be done. She said ok. My girls got ready to paint. Third girl who worked there came up to me and said "You can't paint, and nobody told you that you can paint!" Stunned, I pointed out the two girls who had already told me we could paint. She said that they obviously didn't know what was going on. Anyhow, totally rude third girl with a nasty attitude accusing me of something false. Dumb. Never returning. read more

super fun place to get your artsy on. staff were helpful and friendly. suggestion tho: be aware that you will not be going home with your painted ceramic object that day.. they have to fire it in the kiln and it may be several days (or longer) before they call you to inform you it's ready for pickup. so that kinda stinks but less painful if you know in advance. another suggestion: start your painting process at least 2 hrs prior to closing time. better to have more creative time than to feel rushed. read more

I took my seven year old to the Color Me Mine in Boulder several months ago, and we were having a good time until the owner showed up. She seemed very upset about something and nagged her employee for about half an hour before taking her to a back room and loudly cursing at her. My son and I could hear everything. I quickly left and had to explain to my son why the owner was yelling at the poor girl. I considered writing a review then, but didn't get around to signing up to yelp. A couple weeks ago my girlfriend and I took our kids to the new Color Me Mine at the Orchards Mall, which is closer to where we live. I was shocked to see the same owner there. She came out and demanded showing my son how to paint his pottery although I told her I wanted him to do it himself. I wouldn't care if she had been kind about it, but she was confrontational. Our pottery was done several days after it was promised and had strange bumps all over it (not sure what this means, but it was never an issue at other pottery stores.) My girlfriend had been to the Orchards Mall location before and hadn't had any problems, but for me both trips to Color Me Mine annoyed me so much I'd rather make the long trip to Crackpots in Longmont. read more

Great location! Workers are relaxed and fun. Ladies night out was a hit! Can't wait to come back and finish my piece. Only thing is it is rather toasty in there. read more

Love it. defiantly will be back. Allison and Jackie were great. Ashley gave us our products and was great as well.

Spur of the moment decision to go paint pottery. Decided on some Christmas ornaments. The girls there were so very helpful and patient with my children. We had a blast and definitely will be back. Good wholesome family fun. read more

Went here on Valentine's for their candle lit painting. My husband and I hadn't made a reservation as we didn't know when we could show up, but were pleasantly surprised to find many free tables when we came in at 7:30pm. We had checked what time they close online (9pm) so figured we would be fine on time. Upon arriving we were told that they couldn't seat us as they would be "closing soon", when I brought up that they don't close till 9 the brown haired woman sighed and said it would take "several hours" (??) to paint anything and that they kick people out before 9. Yes, she actually said kick them out. I said I was sure my husband and I could pick something small and complete it in time. She sighed again but didn't protest further. We had to seat ourselves and after picking our paints she came over and tossed the pinned form for our names on the table. I should note that there were probably 5-6 other couples and that the "candlelight" painting was just two fake flame votives on each table with a couple. Kind of lame already but she didn't even put them on our table. Anyway we painted. For the next hour this woman, only her, the other employee seemed calm, hovered around all the tables and rushed people. She said they were closing soon, she needed to check them out, there wasn't much time left, etc. She had us check out at 8pm but we still got to paint. Other tables were complaining some as well that it wasn't even 9pm yet, and to that she would say that they could keep painting (how nice of her?). My husband and I finished our pieces and left. We were driving away at 8:38pm, plenty of time to spare and definitely not several hours like she claimed we needed. This attitude was completely unprofessional. If she wants people out the door an hour before closing she needs to have a sign on the front door next to the hours that gives a last starting time. Having a place close at 9PM but kick customers out early and make them feel awkward and unwelcome an hour and a half before closing is ridiculous. This location gets two stars only because the actual reason for going was just fine, it would be one star if based solely on that nasty woman. read more

We had a nice enough time painting our pottery. The staff wasn't especially helpful, but that was okay, it was just pottery painting. However, when we left our pottery to be fired, the person that did it, apparently did something wrong, and one of our pieces chipped in a major way. When they called to tell us it was ready, they said the piece was damaged, and they'd compensate us. But when my wife got there, they'd thrown the piece away. They did keep a picture to show how badly it damaged it was. To compensate us, they refunded the studio fee and the price of the pottery. That's kind of expected...after all, we didn't get what we paid for. But there was no apology or offer to make it right. And when my wife tried to explain that we would have liked to have kept the piece, because it was our wedding anniversary, and the whole thing was important to us, the manager literally ROLLED HER EYES. Can you imagine that? They broke something we spent 3 hours making, and she rolls here eyes? And she didn't offer anything else to make it right. We will never go back there, and I suggest you do not go either if you actually care about what you create, or expect management to care about what you create. read more

This is the first time I've been to this location and I will not be back. The 2 young girls working were in no way friendly or helpful. My daughter is 4 and she accidentally spilled the water for rinsing brushes. As the girls were not up in the front area most of the time, I proceeded to change to a different table and try not to make a bigger mess. I then cleaned up the mess because the there was total oblivion to the fact that a child had accidental spilled water. We sat and painted for at least 15 more minutes before one of the girls finally noticed the water on the floor and that we had moved to a different table. She started to clean up the only part left uncleaned by myself and the whole time giving snotty looks and a definite attitude about it. When we were done painting it had evolved into her assuming that we had painted something else and not alerting them like we were trying to steal from them or something!!!! I explained that we had moved due to the water spilling and got a huffy non response in return. I was not even given the normal out the door instructions of waiting for a call to return to pick up outlet painted item! Anyhow as I said definitely will not be back. Typically we go to southwest plaza as they are always friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make the kids feel awesome and have fun! read more

Worst experience I've ever had I do not recommend anyone going there. The owner is incredible rude. I took my mother from out of town there, a week later when I called to check if they were done I was told they could not find our pieces, the owner called back saying someone must have picked them up, I assured her I had talked to everyone I was there with and no one picked them up. She continued to tell me she didn't know what to tell me and someone must have picked them up. I was incredibly angry that she had no solution to fix the problem and continued to blame me. They finally found the pieces, the rude owner never once even apologized for their mistake. Would be a great place if it was owned and ran by someone else. read more

Service is very much lacking here. When I came in to paint something for Father's Day with my little one (which, by the way, the doors are hard to open while pushing a stroller through, and as I struggled the staff just watched without offering any kind of help). When I finished my piece, the staff person told me that it would be done by today, so I drove over this morning. When I arrived they told me my piece wasn't ready yet, but would be ready in about half an hour. I walked around the mall and came back a few minutes after it was supposedly ready. It still wasn't done, so I said I would just wait, thinking it would only be a few more minutes and that the staff person actually had a clue about what she was talking about when she initially told me a half hour. An hour later, it still wasn't done, and I finally had to just give up and leave and get on with my day. I pointed out that I had been sitting there an additional hour waiting for it, and asked when it would be done. She checked and said it would take at least another hour. So I agreed to wait for a phone call when it was ready. After I left, it took about 40 minutes before they called. Argh! What a waste of time, and what rude service. No one had checked or updated me at all during the time I was waiting. Instead of apologizing, all she kept saying was "It's in the kilm" (you should know that it's actually a kiln, not a kilm, dear. Clearly they did not train you to know what was used to bake the ceramic pottery). The final product looks...ok. There's a chip in the glaze that is sizable as well as clear streaks going across my piece that are very noticeable in any light; presumably glaze that was not applied evenly or smoothed out. Save your money and go somewhere that gives a positive experience for customers - choosing and making the pottery, strong customer service, and an excellent finished product, especially since you can very easily spend a lot of money here. This place does not and doesn't deserve the customers. read more

Clean, open, well set up space, helpful staff. Overall a fun place for kids to paint pottery. They don't really honor the coupons they print, so watch carefully. our coupon stated 'show before purchase' so we gave the coupon to an elderly woman along with our contact form before we painted, upon completion when we checked out & our amount due seemed high so I checked with the young lady clerk who quickly assured me coupon had been deducted. When we went to pick up our pottery I noticed the coupon had not been deducted and the young man at the store said he couldn't do anything that perhaps " you could try it next time" hmmm how long can they keep you coming back with this temptation? Please don't print the coupons if you can't handle honoring them. Boys had fun but felt I was taken. :( read more

Had a very bad experience First and Last time to come here!! We had our youth group 8 of us we made a reservation! The shop called me THREE different times the day before, we added 2 people, we got there and know one knew this. They were not going to be able to accommodate us but someone left so they did. For a group the things they did for us is push two tables together then in the 2 hrs we were there they came and visited our table once and got us fresh water bowls the rest of the time they say in the back room visiting! For this they charged us gratuity we spent over $200 and the tip was $45 FOR A BOWL OF WATER!! Then when i picked up the pieces i asked for individuals bags to distribute my $40 pottery to my kids the person working made a disgusted remark about getting them bags! TERRIBLE PLACE DON'T GO read more

Nice location, good atmosphere. Giving it one star though because after getting our two girls excited about doing some projects, we had to leave. Why? Because according to staff, the boss there stopped offering square tiles (except for birthday guests), which is something we put our girls' handprints on every year. And WHY did they stop offering square tiles? Because "TOO MANY PEOPLE WANTED THEM." That's got to be one of the most a absurd, moronic business policies I've ever heard. And they wouldn't budge. So whining kids in tow, we have to drive 20 minutes away to the place on 104th now. Boooo. read more

They gave us the wrong piece. And they were so unprofessional. I took the piece back and they didn't have the other piece. They told me they would call when they received the other piece. The ladies didn't seemed concerned about the situation. I told them I lived 25 minutes away. I didn't have time to run back and forth. The manager Gloria was unprofessional with the situation too. They gave me a coupon. Why would I want to go back? I won't go back again. The young ladies are lazy and unprofessional. read more

Good space and has been clean every time I've visited. In general, I think this type of place is overpriced and can be a let down for the kids since they walk away empty-handed. You have to find time later to pick up their masterpieces. Helpfulness of the staff at this one varies greatly. There's at least one lady there who I'm pretty sure doesn't like kids at all but a couple are great. Also, the displays are backwards - breakable things are down low where all the kids can reach them while color samples are too high for small kids to see them. Overall, an okay place to spend a rainy day. read more

We were so disappointed to show up at 6:40 ro paint and not be allowed to. They said they were closing an hour early for cleaning. There was no sign and nothing on their website saying this that I saw and we had driven a half hour to get here! read more

Awful experience all around. Horrible customer service. They didn't let us know until we were half way through painting that it would take 7 days to get the finished product. Since we were visiting from out of town, we never received my son's piece. They also refused to ship it to us. Never having done anything like this before, it never occurred to me that it would take more than a few hours to receive the finished product. While trying to figure out what to do about our predicament, I had asked to speak to a manager. She never came to speak to me, but just sent a message with the cashier that there was nothing she could do. The cashier then said "bummer" and proceeded to tell me my total. Even after multiple attempts to contact the store and corporate I just kept getting the runaround. Never received the product or a refund... or any kind of apology. Overall, I have no desire to do anything like this again. Completely overpriced and so very clear that they care nothing for their customers. read more

We celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday at Color Me Mine yesterday with 9 of her friends. I was very pleased. We had our own separate area that was already set up for us when we got there. We were allowed to decorate the tables and pretty much "move in". It was very helpful that they already had some pieces set aside for the girls to choose from because I'm sure it would've taken hours if they were allowed to choose from the display:-) The only thing that was difficult is that the party (per their plan) was scheduled for 2 hours but we were done in about an hour and 40 minutes. I just felt like we were becoming a nuisance while we had to wait for parents to pick up the kiddos. Maybe if they had little additional activities for the younger kids if they have to wait, that would be great. Next time, I'll just know to bring some things for them to do. Thanks so much Color Me Mine! read more

First the good: We've come here on several occasions to let our daughter paint a unique present for an extended family member. She loves to paint them and they love to receive them. They have a wide selection of items to paint, and lots of colors to choose. It's a great location with plenty of space to move around and let a little one paint. Last time, however, we were cutting it close on time and we knew it, so we called to find out if it was doable (we went in on Monday and needed it to be ready Friday). We called ahead and were assured it would be ready in time, we asked again when we got there, and finally before we paid. Lo and behold, Friday comes and it's not ready. We talked to them and nothing could be done to get it ready (it wasn't placed in the kiln until Thursday for some unknown reason). We talked with Gloria the owner and nothing could be done, it was still in the kiln. She admitted a new employee probably didn't know what she was talking about. So we were left with no present before the party. Our four year old daughter was totally distraught that she couldn't give her mug to grandma, and on top of all that they wouldn't refund the amount we paid. It was only $16, but it still seemed totally unfair. Long story short: fun experience but don't believe anything they tell you. We'll be finding one of the countless similar places around town for next time. read more

We decided to try this place and had an awful experience. We usually go somewhere else but just decided to try this place but had an awful time. It was extremely pricy and they wouldn't even let us poor our own paint. They wouldn't let me pick my own paint brush and then came and painted on my own art and they tried to tell me how to paint. And over all back experience and I will never go back. read more
