Color Me Mine

If you're looking for an interactive and creative activity, I recommend Color me mine!! I love coming here for painting pottery. Prices for the pottery pieces can vary depending on the complexity and size of the piece you choose. The staff is super nice and they also have a great variety of paint colors and ceramics you can choose to paint. This is a great activity for all ages! You get 2 hours to choose and paint your ceramic. The time certainly flies by!

This spot is reservation only so make sure you make your reservation online. Reservations for weekends go quick so I'd recommend booking your desired date earlier rather than later. They do require a deposit upon booking but that's applied to your final payment so you don't end up losing money to reserve a spot. They fire the pottery for you afterwards and you can pick up usually around a week later which is a pretty quick turnaround! I'd definitely come back sometime to paint other items. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and cute activity in NYC!

First time here for peri-birthday celebrations, and I'm already thinking about the next time I want to come back!!
It was pretty easy to make a reservation online, which requires a $20 deposit. Reservations are preferred. Walk ins only available if seats aren't already booked. They have specific time slots and have varying hours weekday vs weekends. It's $13 for the session + whichever pottery pieces you paint. Also BYOB!
Upon arrival, they take you to your table with your name. There is a wide variety of pieces to pick from, ranging from dinnerware to mini statues. You're asked to start with 5 colors but can ask for more. Staff will bring you your paint but otherwise you're in charge of getting other supplies like brushes and stencils. They have a good range of colors and good display of how colors would turn out with 1 vs 3 coats. For 2 hours, I felt like the pacing was appropriate, although timing may vary depending on your design. Staff were pretty attentive and explained things clearly. They were helpful with questions and knowledgeable about pottery/paint.
They inform you of the date when your pottery will be ready by and can hold it up for a month. There is a flat delivery fee too. FYI the paint is microwave+dish washer safe, and I think pieces are already coated with a white base color so you don't need to paint it again.
Overall, I had a fun time and everything went smoothly! Great option for date night, family time, or team bonding!

Took my wife for her birthday. Great experience for myself and I . And it was different Jessy the manager was very helpful and explains everything how it works. Im no artist but this experience was fun. Take ur friends , your lovers , or ur family . You won't be disappointed! Thank you color me mine staff !

Booked a slot to go with some girlfriends for a fun activity. We had a good time overall. They don't have ac so its just a fan FYI. Our pieces came out great but my plate cracked down the middle just 2 days after pick up. That was really disappointing, it wasn't microwaved or put in dishwasher or anything. Just cracked after putting some hot food on the plate. Sad since its a one of a kind item.

This place was amazing! I met up with a friend who I hadn't seen in a minute to destress and paint and just catch up. Before going, I was honestly doubtful of my painting skills, but the environment in this studio is definitely very relaxing. It was really fun to just paint and chat, and this place even has the option for BYOB! You get two hours for the reservation, so it's more than enough time for you to finish painting a full ceramic. The one thing to note is that after you finish painting, it will take around a week for Color Me Mine to laminate the piece and you will have to come back to pick it up.

Will be back 100%.

Great place to go to spend a couple of hours on a fun project.

They provide everything you need. You choose the ceramic item that you want to paint, sit at a table and they will bring you the paint.

After you are done, you leave the item with them and they will glaze and finish it and it will be ready to be picked up in about a week.

They accept walk-ins for smaller groups but reservations are recommended.

I'm surprised I never wrote a review for this place. I have been here twice now and each time I had a great time! I highly recommend Color Me Mine for girls night, date night or if you just want to paint pottery. First you need to make a reservation in the website because they sell out quick, I booked a month in advance (it's a $20 deposit). Once I arrived, I went to the table with my name on it and got set up. The pottery piece I chose was a small elephant bank and my friend decided to design a mug for herself. You're allowed to pick 5 colors with 1 being a base color.
The staff are all very kind and informative, they were always there to help if I needed anything. They will send you a email and call you a week after your visit to pick your piece up. You have ONE MONTH to pick up your piece. Overall, it's a very nice experience and I would definitely come back with my boyfriend.

This was such a fun experience! Color Me Mine is basically a pottery place that lets you pick out your items (from a variety of plates, mugs, coasters, piggy banks, and, small figurines.) Your reservation will last for 2 hours and within that time you are expected to paint your item.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. They throughly explained the process and what to expect during our stay. They told us a few tips when painting our ceramics, such as applying multiple coats of paint and making sure all brushes are DRY. Do not paint with a wet brush because your item will crack! They also walked around to check in on us and refill our paints.

Since we went on a Thursday, it was "Ladies Night" and our studio fee was waived! All we had to pay for was for the items we picked out, which was already partially covered by the reservation deposit.

After that, it takes about 1-2 weeks for items to be glazed and ready for pick-up! I loved how my piece turned out and the overall experience.

I would definitely recommend this outing with friends or a date! It's such a cute activity and you can chat while painting. Plus, you leave with a little momento.

Another fabulous day at Color Me Mine! The staff was super friendly and helpful explaining not only the directions but also showing us tricks with stencils. While this place is quite pricey for the actual
Ceramic pieces, I always have so much fun here. It's a great place to bring kids to be creative. The only noteworthy item is that you now need to make reservations on the weekend. In the past, you could just walk in but now it is too crowded to do that. Make your reservations online so that you don't have to wait around. It usually takes about a week before your final piece is ready for pickup. I will post the results when I get mine back.

Super fun place and Thursdays is lady's night, meaning the studio fee is waived for women and you pay just the cost of the ceramic item. Most items are $20-$40 and you can use up to 5 different glaze colors at a time.

If youve never worked with ceramics, you should know the color of the paint before firing (at really high temperatures) is usually pretty different than the end result so don't let that concern you!

The day we went it was all booked so they weren't taking walk-ins. Also, each appointment is done in groups so if you show up early you won't be able to be seated until the appointment time. 2 hours was enough for me to do three layers of paint for everything I wanted, and I also tried to do just one layer for the part about the veins for a cool layer effect and hope it doesn't fire into something too opaque.
