Color Me Mine is a fun, fresh idea that appeals to everyone. Whether you want to create your own gifts, are looking for a unique party idea or just want to escape the stress of modern living, Color Me Mine's paint-your-own pottery studio may be just the place.
Walk-ins are welcome. We request reservations for parties of 6 or more painters.
There is a flat studio fee of $9 for adults and $6 for children. We also run specials during the week on our studio fees, so check the monthly calendar.
Pieces are ready 7 days after you paint them. Pick-ups are Monday through Friday only - please.
So, step into Color Me Mine and enter a relaxing, inviting space with warm, natural wood furniture and shelves, contemporary music, and a friendly environment.
Finished pottery pieces by previous customers and staff members populate the room, giving you a sense of possibilities. With over 400 different unfinished ceramic pieces (and approximately 100 styles added per year) there are plenty of items to choose from. A completed piece fronts many of the selections in order to give a sense of the finished item. Every thing is food-safe, our glaze and colors are non-toxic and lead-free. Colors easily wash out with water and do not stain.
New MULTI-MEDIA Full Day Summer Camp! In 2008, we will be launching a new, multi-media art camp!
Camp classes will run from 10 am till 2 pm, Monday through Friday. In the morning, kids will paint a ceramic piece. After lunch, they will do an art project with a similar theme, but in a different medium like print-making, sculpting, painting on canvas, mobiles and much more.
We will also have a few weeks of single day ceramic adventures. These classes will be 1 1/2 hours long and have a different theme each day.
See our "For Kids" or "Classes" pages for the full schedule. Call the studio to reserve your spot. Classes are limited in size.
EMPTY BOWLS EVENT with the NJ FOODBANK coming October 22nd
Color Me Mine will again be working with the NJ Foodbank on an EMPTY BOWLS event. Empty Bowls is a concept which serves to remind us all that there is always an empty bowl somewhere in the community. On October 22, 2008, the NJ Foodbank will be holding an auction and event for Empty Bowls at the Liberty Science Center. For event information, contact Natalie Ottaiano, Special Events Coordinator for the NJ Foodbank, 908-355-3663, ext 252.
Color Me Mine will be providing 200 bowls for the event and we need your help!
1. You can come in and paint any soup-size bowl as a donation to this event. Your cost will be a 50% discount to the retail price of the bowl (plus tax) and there is no studio fee. Color Me Mine will keep this bowl for the event and we only ask that you sign your first name, age (optional) and town on the bottom of the bowl.
2. If you are "famous" or know someone who is - we would like to have 6 large serving size bowls painted and signed for auction at the event. There is no cost to the person willing to paint the bowl for the event, they just have to paint and sign their name. We can get everything to the individual, they don't even need to come into the studio unless they want to do so. Please contact the owner, Ann Mills, for details and coordinating (908-598-0248).
NEW PARTY PACKAGE!
Clayful Critter Handbuilding Parties!
Kids will work with moist clay to create their own animal or person from scratch. First, using a round mold, they will create the body. Afterward, they have several press molds to choose from and they can make eyes, snouts, ears, paws, noses, tails or feet. After putting it all together, they can paint their piece as usual. Finished pieces are ready 2 weeks later! Price per child is $25.
IMPRESSIONS - New Custom Handprint and Footprint Service!
Impressions are a quick and easy way to make a precious gift. All you have to do is choose a plate and do the handprints or footprints. Leave the rest to us! You can choose any of the designs from the sample wall or a design from the "Groovy Ideas for Hands and Feet" book. Come back 10 days later to pick up your fabulous plate.
Impressions cost the price of the platter you choose plus $35. Teacher gifts are not included.
