Color Me Mine
A “paint your own pottery” studio where people can choose from a wide variety of unpainted ceramic pieces—such as plates, mugs, and figurines—and personalize them using a selection of paints and glazes in a supportive, fun environment suitable for all ages and skill levels.
No artistic experience is required at Color Me Mine, as staff members are available to guide participants through the painting process, from technique to color selection.
How the Experience Works
Visitors select an unpainted ceramic item, pick out their desired colors, and spend one to two hours painting their piece.
After painting, the piece is left at the studio to be glazed and fired, resulting in a durable, food-safe work of art, which is ready for pickup in about a week.
Most studios also offer the option to paint at home using special paint kits, and finished pieces can be returned for firing.
Events and Community
Color Me Mine serves as a creative venue for family outings, date nights, team-building events, birthday parties, and more.
The activity is popular as a first date idea, group activity, or even as a way to celebrate special occasions, with many people highlighting the relaxed and inclusive atmosphere.
Accessibility and Locations
The business operates as a franchise, with independently owned and operated studios in various locations, each with their own schedules and reservation policies.
Studios are suitable for all ages, including baby and toddler-friendly options, such as hand-print keepsakes.
Additional Features
All paints used are non-toxic, water-based, and when fired, produce items that are food-safe and suitable for daily use.
Special event packages and gift cards are commonly available.
Color Me Mine provides a welcoming and creative experience for everyone, regardless of artistic ability, and has established itself as a leader in the contemporary ceramics industry. In Los Angeles, their newest location is on Larchmont, a franchise studio owned by wife and husband Michele Dix and Jay Wollenhaupt.
