Color Me Mine

Fun way to spend a Wednesday morning bonding with friends. There were five of us; and took approximately an hour and a half. The most difficulty part? Choosing an item to paint!
The staff is very helpful! The tables are laid with fresh, clean paper and water cups… everything is very neat and clean (even on Saturdays from past experience!). Although, their brushes are very «used.»
Two of us had been here before… three were «newbies.» Even those who «griped» they can’t paint or «aren’t creative,» had fun; and did a pretty good job painting.
They have carbon paper available. We brought our own print-​out designs for tracing outlines before painting.
There is an additional $ 10 fee added… per person, not per item! So, for the two plates I painted ($ 18 each); it was $ 10 less than I planned for ~ Woohoo!
Plus… Unilocal’s «Check In» saves $ 5.
The down-​side… waiting six days to pick my items up!

This place was a lot of fun and surprisingly took us three hours to finish our teapot and teacup. Lol detailing works on that pineapple design took longer than expected lol
The staff was sweet and they explained to us how everything worked.
You basically pick a piece ($ 17-​upwards) off be walls and find a place to sit. (Prices of each ceramics are under them) from there on, they will me over and give you tips on how to paint and etc. also let you know where all the tools can be found.
We did a teapot and teacup duo & that was $ 28. Since we were sharing a item, we only had to pay one studio fee of $ 10. If we both got separate items, we would have to pay another studio fee.
We also used our $ 5 off from Unilocal check in!
So our total was $ 30.
It is a bit pricey but you are here for quite a while and it is a lot of fun. A cool date night activity as well! There are plenty of pieces to choose from. I even saw a big unicorn & I’ll have to do that one next time. Because I wanted to choose something I would actually use my first time lol

This was a lot of fun to do. As kids our mom took us to do ceramics at a local community center. This reminded me of those times. However, the prices definitely did not. There a sitting fee, and all of the blank ceramics are pricey.
The staff was friendly and offered help.
I’ll likely end up going again but would go more often if they cut the price somewhere.

The service was really nice, but sheesh, the prices are awful. I would definitely do this more often if they weren’t so high. Like someone else said, the brushes aren’t the greatest either. Very worn.
One of the projects my nana did also didn’t turn out like she was told it was going to. She let it slide though. Too much of a hassle to deal with.
It was fun and nice to do, but definitely not worth the money.

Mugs came out cute in the end. But the purpose of going here and spending time coloring on the piece is to personalize it. My mugs ended up being my design but not my work. In the end I came out with totally overpriced, store bought mugs.

It was something fun for me to do with my daughter. The girl helping us there was nice. She let me daughter have fun while being a bit messy.

Best had a blast and best thing to do on a date little bit expensive but worth it had a fun time

Great place to blow off some steam while the kiddos make a mess of someone else’s table and floor! Am I right???
The possibilities are endless and the girls that work here are super friendly! Each one should get 5 stars each :)
There should be a yearly membership fee to work here because the price per adult to paint is a bit much when you’re ringing up to leave and you can’t figure out where you just spent $ 70! They do have ½ off for kiddos today as it’s the 1^st school day! Yippie!!! School started and the kids will officially be out of my hair!!!
Have fun out there (and here too)…

Love this place. The atmosphere is awesome and the people are super helpful. This is a great place to go on a date. It takes a while so don’t be in a rush. There are lots of events throughout the month where they lower the studio fees so go during the events. Love this place.

Were making a plate collection and so far its turning out pretty awesome Good relaxing date night kind of place.

You just can’t bash on this place. It’s so cute, friendly, accomodating and of course, fun. We painted some mugs. It’s a nice place to relax, talk, and release your inner artist. I recieved my finished mug a few weeks ago and they do a good job with ‘baking’ it. They tell you when to pick it up, usually about 3 – 4 days.
Will be back. :)

Where are you Color me mine?
I haven’t been back in town since forever, so please forgive me I don’t remember where you are located. It used to be here and now it’s next to the movie theater.
Upon finding this place, I ask someone if they knew where this place would be. So, a cute girl walks by and I ask?
Stanley: Excuse me, do you know where color me mine is? I’m not from here.
cute girl: I’m not from here either.
Stanley: Where are you from?
cute girl: San Francisco
Stanley: oh really, I’m from there too. So… do you know where it is?
cute girl: I work for the Ford Agency.
Stanley: I’m sorry, I meant Color me mine. Wait, did you THE FORD
Agency! Tom Ford. Are you a model?
cute girl: I am.
Stanley: Get out of here, congrats! What have you done for them?
cute girl: I did the roots campaign.
Stanley: Oh wow, that’s great. I’m sorry, I’m actually on a time constraint. You see, my friend’s son birthday is today and in about an hour, I really got to find a present for him.
cute girl: there’s borders there, maybe you should get him a book.
Stanley: Yeah, I guess I could, but I want something more personal, like a color me mine where both the mom and dad can come together.
cute girl: Oh, that’s sweet.
Stanley: So where do you hang out in the city? The mission, Hayes valley, don’t tell me the marina.
Anyway, the conversation went on for 20 minutes after, something about getting started. I told her about the time I did a practical joke on the models who were at XYZ last year, she laughed. and yada yada yada. Found out her name was Nicole. Introduced myself. And left with NOTHING! I’m such an idiot! All my friends ask, why didn’t you exchange info. Why didn’t you ask for her facebook? lol. (inside joke)
Anyway, if you are out there Nicole, I’d like to see you again. I should post this on craigslist (casual encounters or something)
Oh, about Color me mine, I end up getting them a big giant piggy bank and a gift certificate. The employees were nice and helpful. It’s $ 5 for children to paint and $ 10 for adults. It’s lots of fun, I had a date here once, it can be pretty dirty.
