How much does a baby print pottery session cost? • £4.50 Studio fee, plus the price of the pottery items you choose • Decoration by us starts at £3.50 per item and depends on the level of detail What can we put prints on? Choose from our full range of ceramics: plates, mugs, tiles, trinket dishes, ornaments and more. Have a browse of our online shop beforehand so you both have an idea of what you'd like and roughly what it will cost. Coming with more than two mums? Please book one of our larger group baby print sessions instead, so there's enough space and time for our team to take everyone's prints. When will our pottery be ready? Usually within 2 weeks. It may take a little longer if we're decorating for you or during a busy period. We'll email you when your finished pottery is ready to collect. Book your session for two online at Crafty Monkey Studio, St Neots.

- 3D Baby Hand & Foot Casting
A 3D baby cast is the kind of keepsake you'll still have on the wall in twenty years. We take a mould of your baby's hand and foot at our St Neots studio, then cast, finish and frame them, so every tiny crease, dimple and fingernail is preserved exactly as it is today. What's included in a 3D baby casting session? • One hand cast and one foot cast, taken here in the studio • Professional finishing and mounting, either in a frame or on a plinth How old does my baby need to be? Suitable from birth, though we recommend waiting until baby is at least one month old. Toddlers and older children are welcome too, however these will be mounted on a plinth. Can I have something different cast? Yes. Two hands instead of a hand and a foot, siblings holding hands, or a different frame or layout. Enquire about the price before booking your session. What should we wear on the day? Casting is a little messy, so old clothes for you and a short sleeved vest for baby work best. When will my baby casts be ready? Casts need to dry fully before we decorate and frame. Please allow up to 5 weeks. We'll email you when ready to collect. Most casts come out beautifully first time. Occasionally we may need to ask you back to redo. Book your 3D baby hand and foot casting session at Crafty Monkey Studio, St Neots.
