I came here last Saturday afternoon when they opened. Color Me Mine has definitely changed since…read morethe pandemic and under the new ownership at this location it has been a disappointment. It used to feel much more colorful, with ceramic pieces displayed throughout the entire store to choose from. Now, most of the ceramics are limited to one wall, and the overall atmosphere feels more modern rather than having the warm, family-oriented environment I remember from when I worked there years ago for many years. And no more fun discount days. The process has changed as well. Staff now ask what paint colors you would like and bring them to your table instead of the previous self-serve setup. Once you enter, they ask how many people are in your group, tell you what table to sit at, and give you a plate of colors along with instructions on the number of coats. They don't often check up if you need clean water either. Things that stayed the same is after you paint you leave the pieces on the table and they clean everything for you. Once you pay they give you your receipt and they write down when your piece will be ready. And they can only hold it in store for two weeks once's ready. Something new that's nice is they text you now. Because some don't have the best handwriting. I could not ready the date on my receipt card when it will be ready. Ceramic pieces range from $20 and up, plus there is a $10 studio fee. Definitely pricy the cheapest one I saw was $24. No outside food is allowed, and there is a 50% charge for broken pieces. Guests are also asked to wash their hands before handling the ceramics, and prices are labeled underneath each piece. They also no longer have paint pens or options to have employees charge extra to get writing done one the pieces. I wish the staff wore name tags or at least introduced themselves. My friends and I often felt like we had to raise our hands to get assistance since paint is no longer self-serve. They wait too long for three people working there and was not even busy. I asked one employee for his name and we thought we heard Jay, although the receipt said Jad. He was probably the most helpful staff member we interacted with. Another employee seemed half asleep, hard to get his attention for help and didn't appear to enjoy his job, and he forgot a few items I had requested. One of my friends was visiting from out of town and had never been to Color Me Mine before. I think, having worked here for many years before the pandemic, I had certain expectations based on the level of customer service we used to provide during that time. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I don't plan on bringing my son either. The new policy requiring every person to pay the studio fee--even if they're just there to watch and not paint--is disappointing. They have plenty of tables and seats on one table, and even if I were painting by myself, I wouldn't want to be expected to share a table with strangers. That policy alone is enough to keep us from coming back. I recommend trying a different place in Fresno.

Color Me Mine does not disappoint. I have been here like five times or more now. Today was special…read moreas it was the first time my youngest child came to paint an item. My family got here when we they opened. Conner explained how to clean the item and how many coats of paint to put on the item so it stands out. He was attentive and very kind. Was willing to refill all our paint in our trays multiple times and never had a disgruntled attitude. He was the best helper we have ever had. He was fantastic at helping other adults and children around us as well. Was a experience to remember. I recommend this for 3 years old and up, just understand that it could take you 45 minutes or you could be like me and take 3 hours.

I hosted an event with Scarab Creative Arts last year, which is where I met Hannah, of Rose ceramics. She's teaches pottery classes here and she's also an amazing artist herself. I signed up for the six-week intermediate classes from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. The cost is $275 and includes everything; clay, supplies, and all firings. All you need to bring is an apron and an open mind. The class style here is free from; just get your clay and go. Hannah walks around and checks in on your progress and helps with anything you need. If you've never sat in front of pottery wheel, I highly recommend taking the beginner class for more of teacher/student model set up. There are other classes offered here beyond pottery like painting, stained glass artistry, and even a few classes for kids. They do host events from time to time in their gallery and have a gift shop where you can try to sell your pieces. I'm excited to see what the future has in store for me when it comes to my pottery. I might just end up becoming a member here!
