- Baby & Toddler Hand & Foot Print Pottery
Book this session to get your baby, toddler or preschooler's hand, foot or even bum prints onto pottery. We take the prints for you, then you can decorate the item or we can for an extra fee. Getting baby prints isn't an exact science. Little ones wriggle and curl their toes, and we can't promise a perfect print every time, but we'll work with your baby on the day to get the best we possibly can. Please book this session rather than a pottery painting session so our team can get the prints for you. How much does baby handprint pottery cost? • £4.50 Studio fee per session, plus the price of the pottery items you choose (browse the range and prices in our online shop) • Decoration by us starts at £3.50 per item and depends on the level of detail How long is the session? Your 30 minute slot gives you time to choose your items and for us to take the prints. If you're only doing one item and we're decorating, it may only take a few minutes. If you're staying to decorate your own pottery, you're welcome to stay beyond your slot, just leave enough time before we close. What time of day is best for baby prints? Earlier sessions or just after a nap tend to work best, as younger babies are usually happier and more co-operative. The last slots of the day in busy periods, especially weekends and the run up to Christmas, are less relaxed and better suited to older babies and toddlers doing one or two items. Coming with friends and their babies? Please book one of our group baby print sessions instead. Also want baby imprints, outprints or 3D casts? Book one of those sessions instead, as we can't always offer them during a print session. Just note on the booking form that you'd like prints on pottery too. When will my pottery be ready? Usually within 2 weeks, or up to 3 weeks if we're decorating and it's a busy period. If you decorate it yourself we can usually offer a speedy 3 to 5 day service. Book your baby print pottery session online at Crafty Monkey Studio, St Neots.
