At Color Me Mine we feel it is equally important for children to learn about and experience the arts. We are committed to providing a forum for kids to express their creativity, relax, have some fun and learn in a creative and pressure-free environment.

COST
The cost of your pottery adventure will be the $8/per painter studio fee along with the cost of the pieces. Pieces range in price from around $17 and up. Please note - a gratuity of 15% is added to groups of 6 or more.
PARKING
Thompson's Point lots are private pay to park lots that charge a small fee. You will need to use the pay and display system or the passport parking app (the same app used by the City of Portland). You can start with an hour and add more time as needed. We highly recommend the app so you can add more time from your table! We do not own or operate these lots so any questions can be directed to Thompson's Point.
TIME
The time it takes to paint depends largely on your piece and design choice. We recommend allowing around an hour for children and between an hour and a half to two hours for adults as a starting point.
RESERVATIONS
While we generally take and encourage walk-in painters, we also offer an online booking system listed under our "book a party" tab. These are best for groups of 5 or more and/or those wanting to be sure they have secured a table during peak times.
PARTIES/GROUPS
Any organized painting events can be booked by clicking on our "book a party" tab.
WALK-IN PAINTING
We are always OPEN for all walk-in painters. Peak times at our studio are holidays, winter weekends & any stormy day that comes our way. For this reason we've created the online booking system to secure a table ahead of time if you don't want to risk a short waitlist that can sometimes happen. If it does? You can always wait it out by checking out Thompson's Point or with a beverage at Bissell Bros. - we will call to let you know when your table is ready. PS - they have a GREAT kids menu!
UNATTENDED KIDS?
You may NOT leave your small or minor children unattended in our studio.
FOOD/BEVERAGE ETIQUETTE
You are welcome to bring snacks/drinks but PLEASE DO NOT BRING IN LUNCHES/DINNERS unless it's already been discussed as part of a party booking.
NON-PAINTERS?
Please note we cannot accommodate more than 1 or 2 non painters per group. Our studio gets really busy at times so it's not possible to accommodate many bystanders.
********
PLEASE NOTE IT TAKES 7 DAYS FOR US TO GLAZE AND FIRE YOUR CREATIONS. WE CAN HOLD PIECES UP TO A MONTH ONLY! AFTER THAT (AND A REMINDER CALL), ALL ITEMS WILL BE DISCARDED UNLESS EXTENSION OR SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE.

NEED IDEAS?
Click the links to our Pinterest and social media accounts where you will find inspiration galore! Our "projects" page can be an inspirational source as well but please be mindful those exact items aren't always in stock. Many projects can, however, often be easily recreated on other available items. Our selection is always rotating with hundreds of pieces coming and going each week so it's best to drop in with a few concepts so you can easily pivot or take advantage of the seasonal items as well.
NEED SHIPPING?
Won’t be around in 7 days or want to beat the month deadline? We have you covered. Be sure to ask about rates!
