Option 1
Baby Clay Prints involve creating charming impressions of your little one’s hands and feet in clay, resulting in beautiful keepsakes that preserve their unique features for years to come. Each piece undergoes a meticulous process of drying, painting, glazing, and firing, ensuring that your baby’s prints are transformed into stunning works of art that you can proudly display.
The process begins with capturing your baby’s handprints or footprints, which then require a few weeks to dry before we can bisque fire them.
After this initial step, each piece is painted, glazed, and refired, resulting in a stunning, personalized memento. Overall, the entire process takes at least four weeks, ensuring that every detail is lovingly crafted.
Option 2
Plaster Outprints offer a delightful alternative, capturing your child’s prints in a three-dimensional format. These impressions are created using a soft mold filled with liquid plaster, allowing for intricate details to be preserved. Once set, they can be customised with colourful chalk outlines and elegantly framed in either black or white, making them a perfect addition to your home decor or a thoughtful gift for family and friends.
Each outprint requires a drying period of four weeks to ensure the highest quality before we can begin adding custom touches. This process captures every detail, resulting in a cherished keepsake that celebrates your child’s milestones.
Customisation is key to our creations. You can choose from a variety of colours for the chalk outline of your prints, adding a personal touch that reflects your style. To complete the look, we offer elegant Black and White frames that beautifully showcase your outprints, making them perfect for your home decor or as thoughtful gifts for loved ones. Join us in preserving these special moments for years to come!
Option 3
Baby Prints onto Pottery is our unique process allows you to capture your little one’s handprints and footprints in vibrant, durable pottery pieces that serve as cherished keepsakes. Each print is lovingly crafted and can be personalized with a variety of colours and designs, ensuring that your child’s artwork is beautifully displayed.
We will help you decide on the colour to use and show you how to get a good print. We have a wide range of ceramics to choose from for your baby prints, from plates to photo frames to vases. The underglaze paints are non-toxic and wash out of clothes easily.
For baby prints onto ceramics, please book a table on the website.

A little more info…
Yes, it’ll guarantee you a table and the equipment, especially at busy times.
Your pottery has to be hand dipped, wiped and loaded into the kiln. The firing itself takes two days or more, and so you will be given a date when decorating for the collection of your finished item, normally around a week later.
During busy periods, the collection time will be 2 weeks as we have a lot of pottery to go through the kiln. Postage is available and calculated at the time of paying.
We’ll do our best, but it depends how much pottery there is going through the kiln and the time of the year. There is only so much room in the kilns as you can imagine. We can post pottery if you live further away, prices will be calculated at the time of paying.
All are paints are child safe, water based, non toxic under glazes and they wash out from clothes.
We do not contact you to tell you that your pottery is ready. It’s usually a week to collect , sometimes 2 weeks if we are very busy. At the point of sale, we will tell you when to collect.
We will hold on to your pottery for one month after your collection date. Unfortunately, we haven’t got the space to store it any longer.
Yes, we can post your pottery – there’s a postal fee for this.
Yes, you can come back and finish it, we charge a studio fee to return and finish.
We do not recommend you do this, they will last longer if you handwash only.
We now do parties in the cafe! We hold UV Parties every weekend so please fill our enquire form out to book. If you aren’t wanting a UV party, then you can book a large table in the cafe for a birthday gathering, however this is just a table booking.
Advanced booking required, limited availability…
