Baby Hand and Foot Print Impressions
I hear “I can just do that at home”. Ceramic clay requires firing to extremely high temperatures (around 2000 degrees!) in a special oven called a kiln. Unlike salt doughs or ‘do it yourself’ plaster kits, ceramic is an heirloom treasure meant to last. With a glossy, glass like finish, these ornaments are made to be treasured forever.Ornaments are not just for Christmas. These ornaments are perfect gifts for display all year round at home, in your nursery space or office. Add a little reminder of your precious gift to any space you choose!
These ceramic ornaments make great gifts for grandparents, aunts and uncles, god parents, friends or midwives and dulas. Capture your babies early and often and create a family tradition as classic as the door frame height chart! |
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY-PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL TO BOOK!
Clay impressions are a great way to capture the size of your child's footprints or handprints while they are still so little! Preserve your child's prints in clay! Thinking Christmas gifts? Mother’s Day? Father’s Day? Check out our holiday themed hand and foot print ornaments. Choose from the many designs you see in studio. I am no longer creating any custom designs, just my own designs as viewed in shop. Please allow 4-6 weeks for completion. This includes air drying time, first firing, and then waiting your turn behind other orders to be painted with underglazes, overglazed, and fired once more. Great gifts for the grandparents. In order to guarantee that your clay prints will be air dried, fired twice and complete for holidays keep the following dates in mind. Cut off for Mothers Day gifting 4/05/25 Cut off for Fathers Day gifting 5/6/25 Click here for more information. You can book an appointment for any size wall hanging any day of the week between 2-5pm via email without a deposit. Feel free to email me at [email protected] with any questions, happy to help.
Don’t want to come to the studio? Order my kit to go and you will receive a raised print vs an impression as your ceramic ornament. I ship you impression material, press your baby hand or foot, air dry, slip in the prepaid mailer provided and send back to my studio. I will press in wet clay creating a raised print from your impression. I paint (glaze) to your color choice. Newborn name can be stamped into the front, other sizes will have baby name and age written on the back. SO much better than those at home plaster kits or self hardening clay. A treasured keepsake.
