Color Me Mine Draper

Great activity idea. It was a relaxing environment and fun to do. However the service was terrible. All the girls working at the time were teenagers talking about their drama. We had no guidance of how to do the paint, no coming to check on how was the project going or if we needed any assistance. The prices are high, expect to spend MINIMUM $ 25 per person in a small piece.

Took my seven year old son in, he was so excited to get to make his own piggy bank. We walked in at 7:30 and they told us it was to late for him to paint because they close at 9. Staff was very rude about it as well and tried to justify it by saying that they had a group that didn’t show up on time and they were going to turn them away as well. So not only do they have poor customer service they are proud of it and brag about it to other customers.

My 12 year old daughter had her birthday party here. I came 2 weeks in advance to choose the bisque. When we arrived for the party, they informed us that they only had one piece left of several of the selections. This was frustrating since they had known for 2 weeks that we were going to be choosing these pieces. Many of the girls had to choose something else, which meant I had to quickly riffle through the shop for options. A quick call in advance would have solved this issue. The videos they had to watch were for the 5 and under crowd, again they could have brought this to my attention earlier (also the party bags are designed for 5 – 7 year olds). The girls had fun painting, but the staff who were supposed to be running the party had poor social skills, and low energy levels. Also, they kept pestering one party goer about whether she was going to paint or not. The party was fun, but I wish I hadn’t been required to leave the tip, since the staff were not at all helpful. I’m sure I’ll go back, but not for a «party.»

First time here! My husband and I came to paint Christmas ornaments and had a great time! I thought it was kind of pricey, but overall, a good experience! We want to come again!
Update: when I got my item back after it was fired and glazed, there were paint smudges from someone else’s item. There were also bubbles in the glaze. The item was still okay but I was disappointed that they weren’t more careful. Especially with what they charge for the item in addition to the studio fee, those types of mistakes shouldn’t even be an issue :(

This kind of fun should be illegal… LOL. The staff are wonderfully helpful. It is a great place to spend an evening… they have date nights, pajama nights, two for one nights, facebook nights, etc… each of these nights provides for a discount on the studio fees. With discounted studio fees, it works for me… and is a great deal of fun.
Just got my piece back, and they had a problem with the firing that botched one area on my plate… and they did not say a word to me… so my rating is going down.

We have been to this location numerous times. We always have a good experience here. My kids love painting the ceramics! Yes it can get pricey but they usually spend 2 – 3 hours there working on their creations so it’s really not cost prohibitive. It’s cheaper than a lot of the fun zones will run you for the same amount of time and the kids have something beautiful to show for their time instead of more super balls and Chinese finger cuffs. Once one of my son’s pieces got a little chip (maybe when they put it in the bag with the other items) we checked it before we left & brought it to the attendant’s notice and he apologized and gave my son a voucher to come back and make another one on the house. Great customer service!

I’d actually like to give 3.5 stars, but because I can’t, I rounded up. I do love the concept behind Color Me Mine, and it’s always a hit with the kids, but it is really hard to swallow the prices. We visited today and I had a LivingSocial deal that covered the sitting fees for up to 5 people. We still walked out of there spending over $ 60 just on the ceramics. I swear the prices have doubled! Unless you want a napkin ring ($ 4.50), you will spend a minimum of $ 10 on a piece, but what your kids will really want – you know, the super cool dragon or ginormous piggy bank – will run you close to $ 20.
The staff is really helpful and keeps your paint stocked. And I love avoiding cleanup for sure. Just wish it was a bit more affordable!
