Color Me Mine Roseville

I took my grandma here for her birthday and she loved it, painting was so therapeutic for her and this was a cool/​fun idea for an outing rather than something she’s done for her birthday before. Makes a great surprise!

Went to Color Me Mine with daughter and three grandkids. The experience of painting and family interaction was joyful. Wish I could say the same for the results hat followed. Painted items on Tuesday, March 22. Was told items would be ready on Friday March 25^th after 6:30pm. Here’s where everything went downhill. On Friday went to pick up items. After clerk searched business at least four times, she called Shelby and was told where else to look. Still didn’t find items. Called again. Was told they would be ready on Monday March 28. I was leaving CA on March 27. Told they had called my cellphone several times to tell me of delay. WRONG! I never received a single call. They finally admitted pieces had not been fired as I had originally been told. Called Shelby, called owner Amana about situation. Offer was made to «ATTEMPT» to mail items to me out of state. Unacceptable! These were Easter presents for other family members. Amanda called and said items would be ready on Saturday after 8:30pm. Shelby called to say items ready at 8pm. Picked up items, no apology by Shelby or others in store at that time. VERY POOR WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS. Shelby told me no one’s items had been fired after Wednesday due to not having enough kilns. REALLY??? There’s a saying if happy with my services, tell a friend. If not happy… tell me. I told clerks and owner, now I’m telling others. Not a happy customer!

So i love pertoglyphs and going there, but sometimes it gets boring, so last week i decided to switch it up and go to color me mine.
i wish i stuck with pertroglyphs, this place sucks!
1) $ 10 for a Shop Fee!?? It is way cheaper at petroglyphs and you can get discounts with the frequent fire card!
2) They have a good selection of pottery to paint and a lot of disney characters and Licensed characters to paint like Hello Kitty and a few others on display but i had seen them in there before. they dont have a Huge selection and unique pieces like Petrogyphs but i guess its okay for a smaller business.
3) The pottery prices are not that bad and about the same as pertoglyphs.
4) The Brushes and paint were Horrible! The brushes are like the ones from Boxed kid Craft projects like at Micheals. not as good selection of paints either but they do have a nice guide of them on the wall though. The stencil and Tool area was disorganized but had alot of good stuff like tape and stickers and themed stamps.
5) The staff was okay overall, helpful when you needed paint and others but they way you get the paint is confusing because they have to pour it for you.
6) The price for two people was not okay, $ 60! total rip off regarding the brush and paint conditions!
i will not be going back! Sticking with Pertroglyphs

Best place to get your stress relieving painting on! My fiancé & I took her little brother to get some painting done for his birthday. The ladies in there were polite & very helpful! Gave us a quick tour of the shop, the plates to paint, the colors to the designs on our plates & also the dates on when our plates will be ready! I loved how they checked up on us & gave us great tips to make our plates more unique & personal! I highly recommend anyone who is a first timer, or even just had a stressful week… just to sit there & paint is very relaxing & awesome employees to help you along the way!

This place is a total rip off! I took my 2 kids here for Valentines Day 2015 to make my husband something different and special. For the 3 of us to paint something basic, was $ 150! It’s not really something you figure out until you’re done because you pay after everyone is finished. Then you have to wait a week to pick them up while they are sent out to be fired. The staff was very bored and a bit uninterested in helping us, and bothered by our questions. I was not impressed at all! Save your money! It is absolutely not worth the hassle or inflated prices!

I loveeeeeeeeeee this place! I’ve been going since they opened a couple years back. Lauren and Shelby are a dream and have catered to me and friends since day one! The selection gets a little low sometimes but usually the girls make up for it by showing us a cool painting technique or giving neat suggestions on how to spice up our art projects. The manager isn’t around all that often and when she is she isn’t very kind or attentive to the people inside painting so I try to make it a point to only go when I know one of the other girls are working. My daughter had her ninth birthday party there and Lauren worked it and it was So great with all those kids. Shelby has always been so spunky and kind when I go in without my kids and even helps me entertain the little ones when she’s not too busy doing everything else! All in all Id give this little spot 10 stars if I could.

We had my daughters birthday party there and the kids had fun. The person attending to our party was nice but he must have been new. I hope he was new. He had such a quiet voice and just didn’t seem happy enough to be doing a kids party. He hardly spoke and when he did, we had to ask him to repeat himself. They don’t seem geared towards large parties. It took awhile for everyone to get their paints so it would have been nice if the woman standing watching our host, had helped instead of just supervising him standing there. The price points seemed a little high for what we’re getting but I guess that’s to be expected. The finished product was super cute. Overall, I’d go back but not to have a party

my boyfriend and I went here back in spring and had a decent time. my main complaint about this place just happened recently. I painted a mug for my boyfriend and he washed it in the dishwasher and it broke. they claim the items are dishwasher safe once finished. but our broken mug begs to differ. I wouldn’t be so bothered if the items were cheaper. will not be doing this again.

Two Stars on Unilocal means «Eh, I’ve experienced better», and I definitely have. I’ve taken my kids to pottery places in the past. This local chain is high priced, and the selection of pieces is much lower than I expected. For a piece of pottery each for three kids, be prepared to pay $ 70+. Even with a Groupon, it was over $ 45, including the Groupon price. I was already not in a great mood when we got there because Google Maps does not seem to be able to give mall locations, and had us on the opposite side of the street, driving around in circles until I finally called the shop. We had a reservation, but when we got there, it was a jam-​packed madhouse. One person was working, and couldn’t possibly keep up. Parents were resorting to getting the paints themselves, the line at the front counter was nearly at the door, and kids were getting very cranky. I asked the worker if that was normal, and she said yes, basically every day after 4pm, so be sure to come earlier in the day. Well, I would if it weren’t for school and work.
As for pottery painting itself, it is what it is. It is definitely not enough entertainment (20 minutes) at this price.
The Elk Grove location is at least in a small shopping center and is easy to get in/​out of. Unless you are planning to already be at the mall, I would never suggest the Roseville Galleria location.

I purchased a groupon for $ 30, worth $ 60 with a description that 4 people could use it. But really it’s more accurately $ 60 store credit. I probably should have done my homework because I was surprised by the fee to paint ($ 10.50 per adult, $ 8 per child). I made some adjustments to our painting plans and had my 4 yr old do the painting to get more bang for our buck. The ceramics are pricey from $ 12-​$ 50. $ 60 goes quick if multiple people are painting. But it’s a nice outing to do every once in awhile.
I did have to ask a mall employee for help finding the store, but I did think it was a cute location. For me, I had my 4 yr old daughter so when she finished painting we went outside to the playground.
Besides the price being a bit much and a location that’s a bit difficult to find, the experience of relaxing, being creative, and painting is nice. My daughter loved picking out her own items and having complete artistic say in painting her things.
The size of the location was ok. It’s a bit small so if full I can see why its important for the employees to get the paint for you. The tables are wooden and chairs too. It’s like being at home. The paint is non toxic and washes easily off clothes and skin. All great things.
Now, finally, why I chose 3 stars besides the price. Part of the experience at places like this is the interaction with the staff. Are they welcoming? Are they friendly, patient? Are they available? Do they nicely answer questions and walk you through the process? One major deabreaker for my repeat business is staff unfriendliness. There are many places to go spend your money that offer the same products, and service is one variable that can impact business. In my case there was a young woman working in the front who offered a very cold welcome and explanation. When we looked in the cabinets below the shelves for more items (which there were different items, like a coffee mug) she very obviously got mad. Just tell me the rules nicely. She barked at us. When we asked if we were not allowed to buy the coffee mug she did not answer. We pointed out that the item wasn’t on the shelf and we were interested in buying it she pulled them out with attitude, set them down without looking at us, shut the door, turned around, and walked off. Very very obvious that she was upset. I was stunned. It was hard not to point out her rudeness because she was so terribly obvious about it. She was better by the end. At a painting place like this you HAVE to interact with the staff to get paint, more paint, find supplies, etc. So when you start the interaction negatively it becomes intimidating to ask for help. Loss of star.

Dont get me wrong it is a very cute idea. Its relaxing and all of that but with the economy in this state they are lucky to be open with such outrageous prices. For a small pumpkin that my son wanted to paint it cost me 26 dollars! The woman working there at the time we went in was unfriendly. I wont be coming back especially since after I left instead of feeling happy I shared quality time with my son I felt robbed.

Unlike the other reviewer, I did not have any trouble locating them and actually like the location. (Right next to yummy Plutos). The staff was very friendly but, I agree, a little too busy so you had some wait time. Used a groupon and only paid for Pottery which made it reasonable. I had a good time and would go again.

This location is a bit hard to find. It is in the mall area. It’s on the promenade in between Starbucks and Forever 21. It is not easy on any day to park close to that area, so you will be walking. I would recommend to park at the following mall entrance and walk through the mall since there isn’t a direct sidewalk around the outside.
It’s a very busy location. The staff is very over worked and although they tried to help in every way they just seemed so unhappy. I don’t blame them. There were only two of them and the place was packed. They had to set everyone up and you can’t get your own paint. So, every time you need another color you have to get them to get it for you. All I can say is, whatever they are getting paid it’s not enough.
It’s an affordable $ 10 sitting fee. That pays for a water bowl, use of their brushes, paint and the firing. The ceramics aren’t cheap. From what I saw, they range from $ 12 – 48. I didn’t look at the extremely large items on the top shelf. I painted a mug that had a tea compartment on the side. Very unique piece and it was $ 16.
The tables are wooden and they have wooden chairs. They weren’t uncomfortable, but not cushion comfy. It was wonderfully air conditioned in there. They have a lot of demo items laid out for ideas. They also have a shelf of books and stamps for additional help.
I did subtract a star for the pricing and because I was using a fine tip paint bottle. Every five seconds (no exaggeration here) I had to unclog it. I went up and asked for another one, but they said that was the only one they had. It was very challenging to deal with and took twice as long.
I like Color Me Mine. It’s a very relaxing thing to do on occasion. This location is ok, but not their best.
