Color Me Mine

I came here on a quiet afternoon with my boyfriend to release some creative energy.
While we were picking out our pieces, I noticed that the prices were a bit more expensive than the Silver Spring location (The dotted jumbo mug was $ 24, compared to $ 18) and did not have as big of a selection of pieces from which to choose. There are also less supplies to work with aside from the paint.
Nonetheless, time passed very quickly during our visit. The girl who was present during the majority of our visit was very nice and understanding. I ran into a problem with my piece when my paint was not drying due to the wet surface. The girl was very nice about switching it out for another piggy bank, and when she noticed the size I picked was no longer available, she gave me a bigger one for the price of the smaller piggy bank. She was also nice when answering questions, and did not make us feel rushed. Woot!
It was a great experience overall, and I’m looking forward to picking up our pieces in a week’s time.

You should have about 2 hours minimum if you plan on making a nice piece here. I’ve stayed here as long as 4 or 5 hours and they never rush you out. Of course, if you have been there a while and the place fills up you can always come back later and finish, out of courtesy to the other customers. The owners or employees there have always been very nice and never made me feel rushed.
When you walk in, you can piece out a piece from the shelves. They have a good selection compared to other places like this. You can choose easy or difficult items. And they have a nice array of colors to choose from. You can even look into blending colors using a chart on the wall. If they don’t have the color you are looking for make sure to ask. Sometimes they just have to open a fresh bottle from the back.
The prices are comparable to other places, and I feel it’s small enough that they can answer a lot of your questions and offer you help if you need it. I like to go there with a friend and just chat and paint for a few hours. It’s relaxing. Just remember that the colors come out brighter than they look when you’re painting because they coat it with glaze that really makes it stand out.
I’ve always been happy with my pieces. They come out on time. After you’re done, they give you a slip and let you know when they will have it fired and ready to be picked up. A great way to personalize a gift for someone or make something nice for yourself. I’ve seen a lot of kids parties there and they seem to be very accommodating to that, as well.

The shelves are kind of bare. But other than that… the owner is really sweet & made Color-​Me-​Mine a more personal/​unique place compared to other ones.
