Color Me Mine

So much fun!
My daughter and I stopped by yesterday to check it out and make sure she was old enough to paint (2.5years old) and she was ! Yay ! So we came back today. It was so worth it — she painted a mug and a plate and Hayley (who is awesome!) helped us put a hand print on each piece. They are going to be the perfect Christmas presents :)
We’re obsessed and will be back !
Thank you Hayley you were so helpful and made it super easy on mom ;)

I have gone to this location for the past couple of years. My kids love to paint here, but we can’t get over the rude service at times. I hope things change because as of now I will no longer go and suggest people take their kids to Glaze Fire in Silverlake. They have a great attitude and it has positive vibe!

If your a fan of painting this is a fun place to go, it’s alittle pricey but you get to pick a cool pottery and they provide the paint and brush for place for adults and kids.

What a cute place to have a date or take your kids. We came here on a Saturday afternoon when parking is a pain in the butt because the place is surrounded by metered parking and only allows for payment up to one hour. This may be perfect if you aren’t a perfectionist, but unfortunately I am. We were here for over 4 hours!
This place doubled as an activity and as birth control for my date and I. We were surrounded by kids who were having a great time (by great I mean, LOUD). I like that you can converse over painting. It definitely beats sitting across from each other and talking over dinner because you can get really into the painting, especially if your date is boring. Luckily my date wasn’t and we had a great time sharing the painting on both of our projects.
Our projects came out somewhat streaky because we didn’t paint in layers. The color of the paint also becomes darker with more layers. Keep this in mind when you choose what you will be painting. Think of having to go over each detail a few times to get better and darker results. If you’re a perfectionist you will be here all day depending on what you pick!
I just think the cost of this craft is rather pricey for what you receive. It was $ 85 to paint a motorcycle and a jewelry box and have it glazed.
It takes a few days for them to process your projects and put them in a kiln for glazing. With this said, don’t pick a place far from where you live!

I’ve been coming to this location for YEARS, and I don’t thing any single project has come out better than this one, in large part because of the… HELP I got with the shading (we’ll pretend this person didn’t just tell me how to do it and then fix it when I did it wrong). I’m just sorry I didn’t get her name! It was also really nice that I was there on a night they were open until midnight and I felt no pressure to leave even though I was 15 minutes late: P
Anyway, I’m super stoked about this project and pleased with all the help I’ve gotten over the years. The people who work there are so nice and definitely experts :)

I had a great experience here. The manager was as helpful as could be with a school-​related gift and her team did a fantastic job making our preschooler’s project look great! I definitely highly recommend Color Me Mine in Beverly Hills and I look forward to returning!

This must be the worst place to have bday parties. It’s load and the girls that work here are rude and unfriendly. It’s a total chaos. You can’t figure out what items go with the party and if there is a mistake they make you pay and say it’s the kids fault. My take… if you can’t manage to have a system showing the prices its your problem. Stickers are a great way but I guess why would you bother doing it… that way you can’t over charge people.

I had a great experience here. I called prior to arriving to work on a plate for my mom for her Mother’s Day gift. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I must have spent 2 hours in there, although judging from how my plate turned out you would think I made it in 15 minutes.
I was told that the earliest I can pick it up was Thursday night. I went in on a Monday. I was very impressed to learn that my item was ready for pick up by noon on Wednesday. This worked out perfectly because I was planning on leaving to see my family the next day.
My plate looked a bit plain so I decided to put a bee on there. I was running out of time before I had to put more money into the parking meter. The employee offered to help me paint the lines on my bee. She’s the best! It looks wonderful too.
Parking is $ 1.00/per hour. It’s not bad at all for being located right in front of the business. It’s a very high traffic area so if you’re in a rush, you should definitely arrive early.
Great place. Great service. I’ll be back for future purchase.

I love the staff, how I can give unique gifts I made to people I love, and the price is affordable.
I love expressing my creativity and when I come I stay for hours and they never pressure me to leave.

Color Me Mine can be a little expensive but it’s a fun activity! It can get pretty busy here so I’d recommend making a reservation or at least calling ahead. I came with a group of 9 people on a Saturday and had to wait an hour or so for space to open up.
There’s a $ 10 painting fee ($ 6 for kids under 10) and a $ 1 firing fee per item on top of the cost of the item, the cheapest of which are $ 15. There’s a pretty large selection of things to paint: mugs, bowls, plates, vases and sculptures. Pick your canvas, grab a plate and paintbrushes, pick your paints and paint away! Only caveat is you have to wait 3 days to pick up your masterpiece.
There’s a parking structure across the street that’s free for 2 hours or $ 5 flat rate after 6pm. My group spent 3 hours here, so plan accordingly.

A great place to unwind and create. I came here on my own for a couple of days to work on a plate I haven’t finished yet. The owner saw that I was taking longer than expected and offered a free day.
They have a large selection for kids and plates/​bowls/​mugs adults can use for the home. I also took one of their evening classes and recommend it.

ARE YOU A DO IT YOURSELFER? DO YOU LIKE ARTS AND CRAFTS? LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO DO ON A NIGHT OUT?
This is a paint your own pottery place in the heart of Beverly Hills. What’s nice about the location is that it’s right next door to Coffee Bean… coffee and pottery… yes please!
HOW IT WORKS
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
You select the piece you want to paint and the colors. Different pieces are different prices. Then you leave your piece at Color Me Mine and they put it in the oven and they call you to pick it up.
WHAT
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
They have different types of pottery here. You can make sculptures, boxes, mugs, plates, etc. I’ve also noticed that around a particular holiday they will usually have holiday themed pieces.

SERVICE
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
The people who work here are very nice and helpful. I’ve had them help me on a few of my projects here when I didn’t want to mess up.
PARKING
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
There’s metered parking on the street but there are also a garage close by. Parking in the garage is free during the day but may have a flat fee at night, in which case, stay longer and go out for dinner too but make sure you get back before the garage closes.

Pretty good selection of pottery to choose from, I’ve been to another Color Me Mine location in the Bay Area before and they are comparable. The place is well kept and the service is very friendly and patient.

Took my 4 year old son here on during a free afternoon. The staff was really helpful and genuine. We chose 2 pieces to paint, for $ 15 dollars each. There’s a studio fee as well. We were only in for an hour or so, didnt burn a hole in my pocket. I noticed 2 incidents of people dropping their ceramic pieces, so I inquired if it would cost again to repaint, apparently not, which is great!

Man, this place gets pretty packed, so try and call ahead.
I’ve come to paint twice at this location, but I think I prefer the Santa Monica location better. For one, I hate the parking in this area even more than I hate SM parking (which is hard to believe). Additionally, they do not allow customers to use the small, hand-​held paints with the fine tip for more detailed painting, but the SM location does.
Also, they had a display of tiny figurines you can add to your ceramics. I nearly died of excitement when I saw a miniature penguin, but they were out of stock. When I returned a few weeks later, they were STILL out of stock. Total bummer.
However, the staff have always been very friendly and try to help as best they can. Also, I brought a bottle of wine with a friend once and they had no problem with us drinking as we painted.

Make a reservation! It can’t hurt, and it would have helped me on my Saturday date with my mentoree lil sis. We had to wait 40 min for a table to open up. It was pricey but she (12yr) loved it. Staff is friendly, helpful, and great with kids.
While there are lots of kids/​parents there, there are also plenty of couples, groups of friends having girltime, and a couple solo adult painters.
For kids under 10yrs studio fee is $ 6. Older than 10yr is the adult fee of $ 10. Firing fee is $ 1/​piece.
For the 2 of us to each do a piece cost a total of $ 73.03:
Studio fee (x2): $ 20
Piece A: $ 20
Piece B: $ 25
Firing fee (x2): $ 2
Tax: $ 6.03
There is a parking garage across the street that is free for the first 2hrs. Also lots of meters on the street –but it’s packed on a weekend.

Randomly chose to spend my Saturday night painting pottery. They had a great array of items to choose from and the staff was really helpful.
It wasn’t swamped with kids– in fact there were a lot of adults in there– so it was actually really nice.
We ended up painting coasters that come with a small stand for $ 25.
Two hour free parking in the garage BEFORE 6pm.

I am judging this Color Me Mine against other pottery painting places… and I’ve definitely experience a hell of a lot better. Rather than make this some useless rant, I’m tell you the 5 reasons I wouldn’t go back here…
1) The service was poor. We came in about 75 minutes before closing. They spent about 5 minutes trying to talk us out of painting because they didn’t think we had any time. It was ridiculous.
2) Once we ignored them and said we wanted to paint anyway, the poor service continued. They took very little effort showing us where things were and how to access the paints…
3) They treated another party completely differently than us. Maybe they seemed more fun or maybe they just really didn’t care if we enjoyed it or not…
either way, i wouldn’t really recommend it… despite it’s great location it’s not worth it.

Every time I come here the workers are so polite and helpful!
My suggestion bring a bottle of wine and go crazy! Don’t forget the wine opener or cups though!!! And be ready to spend some serious time here!

Came here with three friends on a Friday night in May.
At the end we had: a bowl, two mugs, and a jewelry box.
We got here kind of late and felt a little pressured to finish in time, but that was our own fault. They have many brushes, shades of paint, and other tools to help you get your craft on.
