Baby Prints
Capture baby footprints and handprints forever
The time when they are small is so precious and fleeting. Don't miss out on creating treasured keepsakes from baby footprints and handprints. Book a table in our Covid-secure Studio and we can help capture the prints for you with our Covid-secure process or purchase a tailor-made pottery kit for painting at home. From plates, tiles, mugs, frames, clock and much more, for creating precious pieces for yourself or gifts for friends and family. For those doing this at home, we've created a tutorial on YouTube, so you don't have to miss out if you aren't ready or able to come to our Sussex Studio.
Popular pottery items for baby & child hand and footprints
Mugs
Lots of mugs to choose from depending on your baby's or child's age, and how much tea/coffee you want to be drinking! Mugs are good for capturing handprints in particular.
Home Decor
Vases, bowls, jugs and plaques, there is plenty in our home decor range for either display or something you can use again, and again as a reminder of those tiny feet.
Gifts
Everything here can be a gift for the right person, but there are some pottery pieces ideal for it, how about this trinket box?
1. Book your Table
Select an available time and day to come into the Studio using our online booking system. There is a £15 booking deposit which is deducted from your bill once you've finished painting. There is a £6 Studio fee per painter on the day.
2. Painting
We'll discuss with you what you want, the types of pottery and colours needed. Then, using our Covid-secure process, we'll capture the prints for you. All the paint is water-based so it doesn't stain and is safe for babies. We'll show you tips and techniques to then create your treasured keepsake.
3. Leave it with us to glaze & fire
We'll let you know when it's ready to collect via text and email. We can add any accessories such as frames and cork after it's been fired. You'll love your final pieces!
Capture your prints and paint later in our
Covid-secure Studio
As a special service to parents who are painting in the Studio, we are happy to take your child's prints at one session and then keep them safely for when you can return on your own to paint. Parents often prefer to do this when they have several pieces to complete and are looking for some relaxing creative time on their own.
