Make an appointment for us to create a clay memory imprint of your child’s hands or feet
The Imprint
An imprint is an original impression of a hand or foot skillfully taken into very soft clay.
Lovingly Crafted…
Our unique method of colouring and firing the original piece of clay highlights the distinctive detail in your child’s print. Your imprint is the same piece of clay that your child touched. We will prepare 2 raw clay plaques so we can have a practice first. We will use baby wipes to clean your child’s hands and feet prior to making the impression and afterwards.
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee a perfect imprint of each hand and foot as it completely depends on your child’s willingness to spread their little fingers and toes and how still they can keep! It can be tricky, but we are very relaxed so there’s no pressure, we will ensure you get a lovely keepsake and memory of the special moment. And we’ll always offer you a nice cup of tea or coffee!
Choices
Two imprints fit on an A5 sized plaque, choose any combination of hands and feet, you may want to have two siblings on the same piece of clay, or we can make a larger plaque to include more imprints, maybe to include your prints too. Give us a call to discuss what you’re looking for and we’ll be able to help you with ideas.
We have an excellent selection of coloured glazes we can use to highlight the prints, which you can choose on the day.
Any wording, names and dates can be added onto the clay in your choice of colour.
We can add extra artistic detail if you like, just speak to us about any special requests!
