My mom and I went to Corks & Colors and ended up painting mugs. We thought we'd be there for an hour, but it easily turned into three because we were so relaxed and having such a good time. They have a great variety of pieces to choose from, and the whole environment feels cozy and creative. The only thing I'd mention is that the music kept shifting from loud to soft, which was a little distracting. If you're sensitive to sound, sitting outside might be a better option next time (the outdoor seating was full when we went). Overall, we loved it and will definitely be back. It's such a peaceful way to spend an afternoon. read more

The place was adorable, lots of art on the walls and examples of ideas for your own pottery. Very fun, my only issue was that the paintbrushes were very bad, so it was difficult to paint accurately. But it was a lot of fun and I'll be back soon!! read more

What a fun experience! We walked in with a party of two and were immediately greeted and given instructions on how everything works. One of the girls behind the counter went upstairs and saved us a table and prepared it with what we would need. They have a lot of different pottery pieces to choose from and a bunch of different paints to use. It took us about two hours to complete our pieces and about a week for them to be ready for pickup. A fun note to add is that you can order a drink while you paint-water, sodas, and hard seltzers. We had a great time and plan to go back in the future! read more

Great activity for families, friends and date night! Huge selection of items to paint! Then you can sit and paint away! Wide range of colors to choose from and you can even order drinks! They serve soda, wine and beer! You can come and let your own creativity soar! Or they offer classes you can join! Will definitely return! Once you finish you give them your item and it's ready to pick up the next week! read more

A fixture of the date night calendar, Corks and Colors is an enjoyable time for people of any skill level. I don't consider myself very artistic but I've always had a great time on my multiple visits here. They do a great job teaching and offer many varieties of paintings to choose from. The staff, especially the woman who I believe is the owner, is very helpful. And yes, the drinks are great too. Even if you don't do a great job on your painting, you can still have a great time that way. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Corks and Colors a couple weeks ago and had a wonderful date experience. The employee at the front was very helpful in explaining the process of how to choose colors and ensure that your piece comes out looking nice. We bought two very reasonably priced pieces and started painting. When we turned in our final products we were told it would take a week to get back, and when we came back to get them they looked amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun date! read more

My granddaughter loves to come here to be creative!! She is painting a bowl today !

Great place! It was lots of fun picking out our own pieces to paint. They have a pretty good selection of bowls, plates, banks, etc. They also have tons of colors of paint, with interesting names too. It was a very comfortable, relaxing atmosphere to paint in, and the staff is very helpful if you need anything. There's a sense that they genuinely enjoy their job and care about what they do. They say your item will be ready in about a week, but ours were finished within 3 days. Overall, going to Corks & Colors was a fun experience. The prices vary according to the item you choose to paint, but for the most part are very reasonable. Great staff who are good at what they do. We will definitely return when we are in the mood for a relaxing and fun activity with a great finished product! read more

amazing thing to do while I'm Gainesville . Whether it be with friends or your partner! Highly recommend!

I had a great time with some friends at Corks & Colors bottomless mimosa Sunday's. The people who work there are very kind and patient with both the kids and adults. My friends painted all sorts of things: a ring holder, some festive pumpkins, even a business card holder. I like the policy that if you aren't finished with a project, you can bring it back to keep working on it with no studio fee. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great music and ceramic/color options. The sangria was also pretty good! The studio is filled with artwork from the staff and provides great inspiration for creating your own unique pieces! read more

My son and I had a great time at the canvas painting class. He was so proud of his starfish! We immediately had to hang it on his bathroom wall! We will definitely return for both ceramic and canvas painting! read more

ugh. my husband and I were so excited for a date night of painting pottery. We've been to a few different places in the towns we've lived in the past and it's one of our favorite date nights. We are not good at it at ALL. However, this was the worst experience we've ever had. We purposely went when the mugs were only $10. They only had one type of mug that was $10. It was very small. Probably 10oz. and they only had TWO of them. If you had a large party/family then you would have been out of luck. Disappointed in the terrible and small mugs, we looked at other things. I've never been to a place where the pottery is SO EXPENSIVE. The selection was VERY VERY SMALL. Not a lot to choose from AT ALL. We chose a large mug (for $20!) and the small mug. The other places we went to has always had stencils, pencils, and different types of paints to use, for example squeezable paints for writing or designing. This place had ONE type of paint and NOT a lot of colors. Literally all you can do is paint the pottery. Forget about being creative or trying something new. The owner didn't smile or check on us or offer to help or anything. She was very wrapped up in some guy who came in to talk to her. We knew you had to coat the pottery at least three Time from going to other places but she never told us that? My husband made a gift for his mom (it was a goofy inside joke) but the owner (without asking) out our unirlas on it at the bottom, which we didn't want or like. There were also A LOT of dust/particles on the mugs when we picked them up. This is usual but we've never had THAT MUCH on any of the ones in the past. I would not recomendad this place. read more

Such a fun place to grab a drink and create some awesome art! Pricing is extremely fair and the atmosphere boosts your creativity for sure! I will be back! read more

Corks and colors is SO much fun!! Great music and great options for pottery. 10/10 recommend :)

This place is always top notch service. My wife and I love seeing young couples date painting or even double date painting, ceramics or many other artsy stuff... We discovered this place by accident but it's crazy fun. Make it a first date, night out with the guys or just come play solo (the girls are a blast and love to teach :) Our kitchen is full of our custom painted dishes, cups, bowls and serving platters. They have great prices on alcohol so if you drink, you can make out like a bandit but it can get expensive if you go a few times each month and pick larger projects so talk to the staff and let them know your budget so they can get you some great art without breaking the bank. :) read more

This was such a hit for a family birthday party for our 12-year-old. Three generations of our family attended and everyone had a blast and felt successful. The staff members were so very accommodating and kind and talented. The way they teach made it so everyone left with a painting they liked. We never felt rushed. They were happy to help us fix things when we got stuck, but they also were very encouraging and helped us embrace our own styles and outcomes. We are totally hooked and we will be back. For sure! Thanks, Erika and Emily! read more

I was never one for arts or crafts growing up as a kid, but I decided to give this place a shot one night. This was well worth my money, and I had a really fun time with my friends painting our own little animals. The atmosphere in here is really great, and they are really helpful in getting you started on your creation. read more

Corks & Colors Studio - Pottery - Paint & Sip Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Having been to a lot of pottery painting studios, Corks and Colors stands out as being especially good. They have unlimited paint, a great and ever-changing variety of items, a quick turn-around time for pottery firing, and a well-stocked bar. The only con is that their pottery is definitely more expensive than the other places I have been. If you decide to try it, make sure to take advantage of their social media discount ($2 off if you check-in or rate them on social media) or their 10% off discount on their black business cards. Also, you CAN stack discounts if you pay together and each review/check-in. read more

Such a great place! They have a $10 mug deal on Mondays and it's such a great way to spend a few hours :)

My favorite place in Gainesville. You have options to spin clay into ceramic, then paint that ceramic or paint a selection of ceramics they have in stock. Or you can go to one of multiple paint classes they have everyday. They teach good techniques, and give you the freedom to be creative. The music is relaxing and creative. Perfect for adults, kids parties, family, or dates. And the staff is the best. read more

Such a nice environment. So much fun to hangout with my friends and have a drink while painting. Was so relaxing and will definitely be back! read more

Coming from Texas I used to go to a place like this a lot. However the staff here is awesome. The owner is always here and making sure everyone is enjoying them selves. My last visit my gf messed up her pottery she was painting (not there fault at all) and when we picked up the pieces we did, they offered for her to redo it for free. Customer service comes first here. This place is awesome read more

great way to spend an afternoon, very relaxing playlist and selection of colors to choose from read more

Really awesome studio space... they offer classes and activities for kids and adults... canvas painting, pottery making and painting... and other options! It's a really cool idea, they also offer wine (for adults only of course) check it out! read more

Stopped in with two others today for the pottery wheel class; it was awesome. Heard nothing but delight from customers and employees. The environment was friendly, professional, and as clean as an art studio can be. I would strongly recommend this place for an any-day "something to do" and especially as a birthday event for pretty much any age. Wow- great place! I was in a similar establishment once and was underwhelmed at best, but these guys do it right! read more

This place is so much fun!! They help local charities and support the community!!! This place is great to do art with your friends and family. They have a small kiosk in the oaks mall!! So people can go there and do art!!! This place is highly recommended for fun crafty people. read more

My family and I absolutely love this place, great atmosphere with patient and accommodating staff

Went Saturday 2/21/15 with friends and it was great. Had such a great time and the women leading the class were very patient. My only request would be a few more wine selections and maybe have some beer for the people who don't like wine as much! read more

Love this place. Excellent service and very friendly. It's an excellent way to spend a date with the hubby. Btw the sangria is excellent.

Went here a while back and man was it horrible. $25 to paint one wineglass when you can buy a wineglass at most stores for like $5 and paints for glassware at any craft store! Come on a little unreasonable. The staff said it came with instruction and I was there when there was a wineglass class and it didn't seem very helpful and not really well set up. I wanted to paint pottery really bad so I decided to give it a chance. That of course was expensive and they said they would call when it was ready. It was loud and very cluttered and gross in the place with wet paint on my table and gross bathrooms. Went 3 weeks later without a call with my piece okay, but stacked below other people's pieces and not cared for. I eventually said something online and the owner, I think Becca, contacted me and gave me an assurance that if i came back it wouldnt happen. She sounded phony, with her voice and attitude, and I talked with many other people that had the same issues. Man were her reviews inaccurate. I am not a prude at all but when I pay $23 for 1 plate I expect some courtesy and care for the piece and not to be ignored. I thought the reviews meant this place was amazing but please head my warning...don't go and waste your money. Worst experience, by far. read more
