Color Me Mine won’t really teach you how to get started with pottery. Here, it’s the painting experience that you’ll be paying for, which is a fun activity for dates and even for kids. All you have to do is select your ceramic piece and go wild with your designs. Patience is key though – firing will take 5-10 days until it’s delivered to your home. Some ceramics you can paint include a basic tapered mug, wave bowl, and different figurines. Visit their kiosk on the 3rd Floor of Uptown Mall, Taguig, and let your imagination run wild.
Find more details on their official website and shop for ceramics here too.
