I went here on Thursday (3/19/26), and it was fun.. I was able to be creative, and my art turned out nicely.. I do wish that I was told more about the different brushes and pens that they had because i did some lettering and the worker there told me after i was done that they had specific pens and brushes for that.. so i just wish next time theres a bit more explaining, other than that it was amazing! read more

Color Me Mine - The plate that i painted myself - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Whittier, California

Hours are not updated. I was turned away at 5:30 because they close at 6 but all the websites say they close at 7.

I was extremely disappointed with the service at this establishment. They tell you to expect a two-week wait for completion, but don't notify customers when orders are actually ready. If items aren't collected within 30 days, they're discarded. Given the premium prices charged, a simple courtesy call to inform customers would seem like a basic expectation. read more

I am beyond frustrated with this place's complete lack of communication and staff training. Five days ago, I called ahead specifically to confirm that they offer take-home kits for parties. I was told yes. Based on that confirmation, I planned an entire party around picking one up today. When I arrived, I was casually told they "don't do take-home kits" -- as if that's no big deal -- and offered zero accountability, apology, or solution. Now, while actively hosting, I'm forced to drive 35 minutes out of my way to scramble for an alternative because their employees don't know (or can't communicate) what services they actually offer. This wasn't a misunderstanding on my end -- I did my due diligence. The issue is poor internal communication and staff who clearly aren't trained on their own offerings. When you're dealing with events, kids, and tight timelines, this kind of incompetence is unacceptable. Save yourself the stress and don't trust verbal confirmations from this business. If you're planning anything time-sensitive, be prepared for last-minute surprises and zero ownership read more

My name is Mayfer I did not like this place horrible service the pottery was all destroyed do not go to this place

My child loves arts and crafts so we brought her here. We were their first customers. Employee was very informative and helpful. Took our time choosing her item. Once ready all the necessary components were provided. My child was really into her art. She loved every second. It got really busy. The place isn't the biggest and there was only one employee. I got hectic but she finished her project. The prices vary but are more on the higher side. It's well worth it when your child has a huge smile on her face. My advice would be to come early and be patient. read more

we came in from out of town and the owner and their staff were amazing to us and we had such a blast

I've come here twice and it's a super fun activity to do with your partner. The store is cute and in Uptown Whittier so that's a plus! Definitely stop by if given the chance. FYI Store hours differ from the hours posted on here. The day I went in was a Friday and they closed at 9pm. Another thing I wanted to add was that your contact info is taken but you are responsible for calling them to ask if your plates/creations are done. They do not call you!! read more

It says 7pm they close, we got here to pick up our items and they closed 15 mins early. If that's the time they close they should change their hours to 12-6:45pm. Waste some time and gas. Horrible service. read more

Color Me Mine - The freshly painted plate. Can't wait to see the glazed version. - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Whittier, California

I wanted to enjoy an amazing rainy day with my kids and Color Me Mine did the job! The environment was all just so peaceful. They have so many things to choose from to paint. The prices are a bit pricey but very much worth it! The worker Mia was very helpful and kind to my kids. Kids can be a hassle somedays and I'm glad she was able to be patient with them! read more

Heaven!! Absolute heaven. BFF and I loved every second. Mitzy and team were kind, knowledgeable and hilarious. We had lunch, talked and made memories to last a life time. Color Me mine is our new thing!! read more

I painted some plates and had so much fun! The staff was super nice and very friendly. Definitely would go again.

My son brought his little 5 year old sister on an art date to this location. She had a great time and she kept talking about bringing her back. Her unicorn looks so good and she was so proud of her piece of art. We will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

Employee named "Mia" was completely rude over the phone when following up on an order. Waited two weeks without a call from them to find out it was ready. The whole point of going to this place is to have a pleasant experience ESPECIALLY because of the extremely high price you pay. Two mugs plus sitting fee was close to $60 dollars. You would think the employees could at least be nice. Will NOT be going again. read more

After weeks of calling- as they don't call to advise items are ready- they advised the items were not located and appeared to have been lost. Drove to the studio to attempt to pick up and possibly troubleshoot- gave Elena different names, phone number and she offered to look for the items kiddos painted a month prior - they offered to waive the sitting fees and provided credit for equal items. As the kids were 1/3 way into the painting- she located the items that had been inquired on for the last 3 weeks. She said we would have to pay the fees and for the new pieces or we could stop painting and leave. This used to be a good little gem- but it seems like their customer services needs help. They didn't offer to help with anything even though Elena heard the puff paints were dry. Overall- zero out of zero! Had been loyal customers but will be driving to Brea next time. read more

This place is stupid. A waste of money. I called and ask them for my painting and she said we have to call them and they won't call us. Okay. She said they left me a voicemail. She fr had a rude temper and didn't even feel sorry or anything. Like learn how to talk to customers. Don't understand why so many ppl still come here: I thought they gonna call me so I've been waiting for their call and she said they sent me a voicemail but I don't fr see it. I feel they just lying fr. I fr spent $40 smt on this and now I'm fr bad bc I spent this much money for nothing with this lady rude ass altitude. DON'T COME HERE. NOT WORTH IT. read more

I went with my granddaughter for the first time and I enjoyed it so much! It's very relaxing to sit and paint and bring out the creative side. The employees are very helpful and the ambiance is very inviting. Highly recommend! read more

The vibes were very nice and welcoming the workers were very attentive and helped continuously throughout the whole process of painting.

This is the worst Color Me Mine i have ever been to. I wanted letters inside of my cup and i taped it exactly how i wanted them to be placed and they are crooked and not centered at all. not to mention one of the letters is flipped backwards. On top of that my cup took THREE WEEKS, almost a whole month to be finished. My cup was only part of why I don't recommend this location. my sisters cup also had her letter placed crooked and she wanted a letter placed on the outside of her cup and the worker said it would be fine so she tapped it how she wanted. when we came today to pick up our cups FINALLY! we saw how our cups were not how we wanted. my sisters letters were placed crooked inside as well as mine. the letter she wanted on the outside was just loose it wasn't even attached. so we went back and told them our issue. typically we are not the type to go in and complain but for how long we waited this was unacceptable. the worker inside said unfortunately we could not attach it so it was just left loose. my sister called them last week and they said oh we forgot to attach your letter on the outside of the cup so it'll take longer. at that point what was even the point in them saying we forgot to attach it on the outside so you'll have to wait longer. there was nothing they could do right now so we are just waiting to even see if they can do anything about this MESS. i will not be returning EVER to this location. I recommend the location in Brea. they had our items done in 7 days and everything was perfect. we also had called FIVE different times and every time they said they will call us when it is ready, which they never did. if you want to go to a good Color Me Mine go to the one in Brea. besides all of that the worker we spoke with today was very respectful though she was nice, good customer service from her. read more

Don't go to this location! Go to the Pasadena one instead! The young girl that works there is very rude and rushed you through everything. I paid $76 dollars for 2 pieces and to paint with my niece, the worker didn't interact with us or offer to help us. Once we were done she took forever to check me out and was still very rude. I called 2 weeks later to see if our order was ready cause I haven't heard from them. She said no it wasn't ready so I waited another week then called yesterday September 6th, I mentioned that I never got notified if my order was ready or now and she said "yeah we don't reach out to you n let you know you have to call or come in and ask" (that's dumb but okay) the Pasadena location sends you and email or calls you when you're order is ready. So she tells me my order is ready and then says have a nice day and tried to hang up on me. I asked her what time they open tomorrow (September 7th) she said they are open from 12-9pm then hangs up on me. So I go today to pick up my order at 1pm and surprise surprise they are closed! Even thought it says they should be open. Save your money and your time and DO NOT paint here! read more

I had a great experience at color me mine. I came in yesterday and I was helped by Mia who was extremely helpful she helped us pick a mug and the best paint 10/10 would recommend read more

It was a fun experience but I'm confused why there would be a "sitting fee"? Also, when I went to pick up my stuff a week later (they told me which day to come back), the girl told me my order wasn't ready and it would be ready in three more weeks because their glazer was out of town. I first got mad that no one contacted me that it would take long because I drove up here after work. Then I got home and immediately got a phone call saying it was ready for pick up... just wasted my time and it was just pretty pricey already so idk why they needed to add a sitting fee on top of that...? It was a fun experience but might not come back for a while. Stuff came out cute though. read more

GOD EVERYONE IS SO HAPPY AND NICE. such a great place to spend your free time with friends and family. 100% recommend if you are

The place is really not kept up well. It's small, crowded and hard to get to the supplies. Staff really don't interact with you at all. Also after the session I called to see if the item is ready and still there. I was placed on hold for 25 min and I could hear them talking to other customers on the phone. I called another time during business hours and the phone just rang. We paid $10 per person for the studio fee and the ceramic ranges from $20-$30 per person i spent $77.18 for the session and got nothing in return. Either they don't have enough staff or are not organized. Either way won't be returning. read more

Do not come to this location. They will not call you when your pieces are ready and won't answer the phone either. They will throw items away after 30 days. Super stupid and a waste of my time and money. Called for an hour one day (during hours they were open) and no one answered or called back. I have no idea if my pieces are there or not. I also sent in an email and received no update. That was Sunday 8/14/22 There are many better locations that actually call/answer their phone and are open more then 3-4 hours a day. read more

I came here with my friend and god daughter last week and our experience was good. The girl that attended us was friendly and she did give us clear directions. She told us where the paints were and how it all worked. It was a fun and relaxing experience. It was our first time so we weren't exactly Picasso's lol. But overall good time. The only thing I didn't like was all the cracks on my heart box when I picked it up. Idk what their process is to glaze but it completely ruined the bottom of my ceramic piece. The inside had cracks as well. That's why I only give it 3 stars. read more

My daughter and I love love love this place, it's great for de-stressing. The music is always right. The people who work there are always so helpful and polite. It's nice to see my daughter get more and more creative as she gets older. We have a cool little collection of "color me mine pieces". They have the cutest pieces. This place is dear to our hearts read more

Color Me Mine - My latest piece. It's a copy of my real life cat Henry - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Whittier, California

I'm giving 2 stars just because the employees were very friendly when I took my daughter in. Other than that, I paid for 2 pcs, it was very expensive. I was never informed by the employees that I just needed to keep calling back or coming by to check on when my order would be done. Having not heard from them I put it out of my mind until recently. I called back only to be told they don't call customers, or email, or text when orders are ready. We just have to GUESS completion date and show up for pick up. In the meantime they only hold the items you've PAID for for 30 days before chucking them in the trash. Now I have to explain to my kid that her artwork she spent so much time on is in a garbage heap somewhere. read more

Have been going to this location for years! Always friendly and good service. Held a 6th birthday party for my daughter - all 30 kids were given good attention and direction. Will continue to support this local business! read more

Went here earlier today & waited around 30 minutes for the shop to open & no one came. Store hours online & in the window say 12-6pm. I called a few weeks back to double check their hours & asked about reservations & unfortunately they didn't offer reservations. Went to celebrate a birthday & was so disappointed we couldn't experience this place. Hope they update their hours. read more

It's very disappointing having paid $20 a person for mugs and they were glazed so terribly and inconsistently. I took my 2 girls for a Girl Scout trip here. After picking up our mugs there were several cracks on one mug. There was a chunk of the cup that just broke off when I touched it. And my mug had a really sharp piece on the mouth area. A waste of money! read more

You still need your mask of course , but they are really helpful and it was fun for the kids and I

I'm crafty. I'm always down. Down to paint that is. I have lived in Whittier for almost a decade, and FINALLY tried the small Color Me Mine on Greenleaf. My niece and mom decided to make an afternoon out of grabbing a few ceramics and painting them with our own personal flare. The staff was very nice and let us do our thing with the variety of plates and paints available. It does take a week or so to pick up the goods, but you can't beat the location and pricing. Totally worth checking out for a few hours of creative fun! read more

I will never come here again. It started as a pleasant evening; the cost is on the high side. When I go to pick up my item its damaged. They offer a 25% discount for MY NEXT VISIT, but I paid for an undamaged item? All I was told is that it happens. I don't understand how a place like this stays in business, I understand items can get damage, offer the same item to be redone at no cost. That's customer service. No giving me no choice but to repay for a mistake you made. read more

I always hesitate before writing a bad review. I really took into consideration that COVID has really affected this business. However.....Their general lack of caring about my problem is just not ok. I thought maybe it was because of COVID, but it seems like ( from reading the reviews) that it's just gotten worse during this time. Like most things, if there's also one in Brea. It's gonna be better. So, save yourself and go to Brea. They were kind enough to fire my 6 Father's Day mugs after this place wouldn't even try to help me ( we were doing them at home). read more

My daughter and I had fun working on our projects, however there was not much direction given. This was our 1st time attending and we did not really know what to do. No pointers were given. We were not told about the stencils, stamps or any extra supplies we could have used on our art pieces. We had to keep asking for more paint. The staff are ok. Not pushy and dont pressureyou to hurry. Thats a plus. Pricing of certain items are a bit high. Overall. The experience was ok. read more

Great Place to come and paint little clay sculptures! You choose what you want, you paint it, and then you give it to the staff, they Glaze and Fire it, and one week later it's done! +Great staff! But, I was there now and the door was locked. So, we tried calling but nobody picked up and their mailbox was full. Lights were off, and looked like nobody was there. It closes at 7:00 pm but we arrived at 1:20 pm... hmmm... not only that but they didn't even leave a sign on the door saying that they were gone. Very inconvenient. Considering we go there very much, it was kind of upsetting that they weren't there! ( ^.^ ) like what?! Please fix this inconvenience! read more

We love this place. From big and small painting. Very friendly staff, the place is always clean and I love the music in the background. They have plenty of designs and colors as well as tools to create. Prices depends on the size of the merchandise + 7$ studio fee. We always pick up our items in time and never had any problem with that. read more
