If you can only manage to slap paint on a surface, it’s still going to look amazing when it’s done (I know, that sounds crazy, but it’s true).

This is such easy fun for adults and children alike. Truthfully, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have an artistic bone in your body or if you’re channeling Michelangelo. The Color Me Mine staff is very attentive, so you’ll never feel like you’ve been abandoned. You’ll be seated at a table as a family, and able to paint at your own pace. They will guide you through the process of picking out your paints, choosing the right brushes, and getting started. The staff is not only knowledgeable and creative, they’re very friendly and service-oriented. You can reserve a time to come in, or simply walk in (don’t worry, they have enough room that you won’t have to wait to get started). Select the items you want to paint (the price is on the bottom of all items – so there’s no surprise it seemed to me that most of the items were around $20). “We have the largest selection in Reno,” said Color Me Mine manager and master potter, Brittany Sundheim. If they don’t have what you want, they can get it. As you walk in, you’ll see a long wall of blank “canvases.” This includes everything from mugs to plates, picture frames to bowls, and flower pots to animal figurines.

What is Color Me Mine? Well, let’s call it an art studio that specializes in ceramics (or what I came to find out are called bisques). Parents rejoice! We have another great activity option in town – Color Me Mine in the Summit Reno (south Reno, next to Century Theaters).
