"Since I'm craving Jin tea (next door to this spot), let's go browse color me mine to see if there's anything I'd like to paint?" They charge a studio fee of $12 and then you pay for whatever the price amount of the ceramic you'd like to paint. My mug was about $24. I had my service pup Frida w/ me and they were super chill about it. The hack to this spot is to come on a weekday when it's dead for those who have that choice! I wasn't rushed and they came to check in on me regarding colors. I can't wait to see how it turned out as I was inpatient with myself towards the end xD

This place is so cute. I made the cutest little bowl ever and had such a fun time…read more The pricing is pretty reasonable. You pay a fixed amount for the paint, then for whichever item you choose to paint. They bring you the paint, paintbrushes, and will give you extra if you need it, which makes everything super easy. You can call ahead to make an appointment, but they also take walk-ins if they're not too busy. Overall, such a cute date idea or just a fun place to go if you want to do something different.

I love this place with my whole heart! I came here for the first time in about October 2023 for a…read moreFriday the 13th event they hosted and I have been coming back for events ever since. For the latest updates on events, follow their instagram @colormeminecovina! They have so many special events that cater to various interests and groups and ages and truly anyone can enjoy here. I came back for my 5th time on Valentine's Day with my boyfriend and we had the best time. We chose the 6:30p-8:30p slot, and paid $50 for the special event table reservation (included a couples caricature). I know they had a later Valentine's reservation slot from 9-11pm and those couples got a little heart shaped trinket tray as part of their $50 fee. The table reservation cost does NOT include the price of the pottery you choose. They have a wide selection of pottery pieces you can choose from at varying price points so everyone can find something they will love to paint during the time. They had a new astrology jar with a lid that i've never seen before and instantly fell in love. My partner needed a bit more time to choose a piece, and decided on a dragon wrapped around a tower that will include a tea light for later to light up the tower (super cool). The two pieces were less than $100 total ($36 for the jar and $54? for the tower dragon) which is around the price I was expecting to pay. Note that my boyfriend and I showed up at 6:15 to look at the pottery early and we were thankful we did because it gave us extra time to paint without feeling a super tight time crunch. The staff was super sweet and attentive and remembered me from past times I've been there, which makes me feel more comfortable and happy there. They were checking tables frequently and making sure paint was always available and refilled for our use. They also gave us time checks to let us know how much time we had left which was appreciated. It is important to remember that 1 coat will leave a lighter finish while 3 coats will create a more opaque finish. They had a card on the table that said more than 3 coats of paint can warp your piece during the drying process or even cause an explosion due to trapped air between paint layers so do be aware! You also have to leave your pottery for up to a week so it can fully dry and bake in the kiln so the glaze hardens and becomes all shiny and beautiful. I have been happy with every piece I have made at Color Me Mine Covina and I will definitely keep recommending it to those around me because it really is that fun and enjoyable of an experience.

My first time ever going and painting something at a Color Me Mine was in this location and also a…read morespecial night which was a Hello Kitty Dodger one. You pick any type of pottery that is pretty much a blank canvas. After that, you select which stencil you would like to put on. Then you paint on it. It's actually pretty relaxing and quite fun to do! Also, I think making a plate is useful since you get to use it daily! Since the night was Hello Kitty it was filled with a large selection of the Sanrio characters plus some of them wearing the Dodger hat. I picked a heart plate to decorate. You can pick whichever colors you want and then make it your own. You won't get the plate right away it will take a little while but I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Great place. The kids had a blast. 10/10. Will definitely go again. Great selection of crafts to do.read more

I would like to see how my pottery actually came out before giving a review however i will talk…read moreabout my experience. it seems as the staff may not be as trained as much as they should be. she told us to pick a vessel and to sit. when we did she just gave us supplies and said tell me what color you guys want. we were necessarily greeted or given directions and the girls weren't very attentive either. one girl was talking on the phone the entire time while she was working and another girl was working on her own pottery. we basically had to ask for everything. now pricing... yes their processing fee is listed on their website however the girl helping us did not relay that information to us so if i hadn't booked online i would've been surprised at the end what my total was. i will say i was still surprised my total was over $100 because their processing fee was $12 for firing EACH of the pottery piece. everywhere else ive been to has been less than $8 each... i usually always check yelp just incase and i knew i should've because for $100 i don't feel like the experience was worth it. once i receive both pottery dishes (which from some people on yelp have said theirs is messed up) ill update my review. they also had a point system where u can build points up and they told me they don't know how to get to it but they completely bypassed it when i was paying.

She was thoughtful and showed up early so we could use the kitchen and bar area to set up our appetizers and drinks. She set up the art stations while we drank and ate. Later she lead the class while also taking candid photos of our group. She took her time explaining the process and checking in to make sure we were all following along. Aja was fun and entertaining. She took various groups shots always paying great attention to detail. This was a wonderful experience and I would absolutely book again. We were the only party at the time, she laid out all the art to choose from. The space was clean and large enough to accommodate my 10 group and plenty of space to walk around. There were couches and kitchen area with a small refrigerator. Overall the space was a 10. Experience a 10. And instruction a 10.

Once we saw her in person, we instantly remembered her. The space where she hosted was spacious, clean and large enough to accommodate a larger crowd if needed. We were a group of four. She was able to help both boys complete their artwork and give the moms extra time to finish. We felt bad taking longer than the kids and Aja did not rush us. She has such a calm demeanor and so much patience with kid and adults. I would highly recommend her. Her love of art and experience with kids is so amazing!

It was relatively easy to make reservations and adjust it. The studio itself is small and intimate and playlists playing was perfect. I can see this being a great place to host a large amount of friends to paint together. I think the price is also reasonable, based on the pieces you want to paint alongside the studio fee which includes the paint and firing process. I wasn't expecting to take long painting but we ended up taking over two hours to paint. I appreciate the fact that they dont really rush you and you can take as long as you need. The service is friendly and set you up for success by giving you advice on how to layer and draft up the paint! I would highly recommend this place as a cute date spot, or a new hangout spot.

It was such a fun class, and as first-timers to pottery, we felt like it was a great introduction. The instructors were helpful, and the whole process was really enjoyable.

We were led upstairs, and I was surprised by the rooftop pond, and how beautiful the koi fishes were! You can also see the Hollywood sign in the distance. It was a very serene space. Filming is welcome (a plus for capturing memories!), and parking is free right out front. Just note: the lot is pretty small, so I recommend arriving early to snag a spot. Our instructor was super informative and made sure to spend time with everyone in the class, walking us through every step of the process. It was hands-on and beginner-friendly, which made it all the more enjoyable. The only downside is the wait bc our finished bowls took about 6-8 weeks to be ready after shaping them on the wheel. But honestly, it was worth it--they turned out beautifully :')

Definitely a new hobby unlocked. The owners are super sweet and friendly, and you can tell they take the effort to make the painting experience so much better. All of the staff are super fun and interactive! They always ask if we need anything and how we are doing. They also love to see what art you can create and overall make it a better experience. I highly recommend coming here instead of a chain because they have great selection of ceramics, paint, and music! It's such a vibe. Go grab a matcha next door at Vivot Cafe and paint your life away! I swear I was painting for 4 hours and they didn't mind as long as I finished my piece. I was very grateful to have the time to complete my birthday plate. The studio fee is $11 along with any ceramic you choose (price varies) and they also have a stamp card! On your 7th visit, you get the studio fee waved. It's great to know they appreciate those who come back! And I know I will definitely be coming back soon! Also, they do take reservations so that is very helpful as well. Overall 10/10 experience.

I love Color Me Mine, and this location is one of my favorites to go to! It does get really busy,…read moreso a reservation (or at least calling ahead to see if they can hold seats on the day of) is pretty much a must. The Brea location has more seating than other locations I've been to, which makes it a bit more forgiving if you try to do a walk-in. Reservations are made online and cost $5/person, which goes towards your total. From a large palette, you choose five colors. Sometimes if a friend and I want to use the same color, we'll just put it on one person's plate, which ends up giving us more color options overall! There's also a guide on each table with tips for different ceramic painting techniques. There's a cup of various styles and sizes of paintbrushes, and you can also request for a thin bottle for writing or detail-work. You get two hours to paint, but I've never felt rushed with either picking my piece or during the actual painting process. The staff here are always so attentive, courteous, and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. I've noticed that when it gets super busy and you need a paint refill and someone hasn't come by, don't be afraid to raise your hand or walk over to someone, everyone is super friendly. They have a great selection of pottery, and you just pay the price of your piece plus the flat studio fee. The space is clean, and I love that they also offer outdoor seating. Since it's right in the middle of downtown Brea, it's fun to people watch and enjoy the vibe outside on a warm day. They'll occasionally have special events or deals too, like student nights with a discounted studio fee. With its central location in downtown Brea, it's such a perfect spot to catch up with friends, celebrate a birthday, or have a cute date!
