- Dog Paw Imprints & Outprints
Book a session to capture your dog's paw in clay at Crafty Monkey Studio in St Neots. Choose a pressed imprint or a raised plaster outprint, and we'll take the clay impression, decorate it and finish it for you. What's the difference between a paw imprint and an outprint? • Paw Imprints: we press your dog's paws directly into clay. After a drying period we fire the piece, decorate it, then clear glaze and fire it again, leaving a soft, sunken pawprint • Paw Outprints: we press the paws into clay to create a mould, then cast a raised pawprint in plaster. We decorate it to your specification and present it in a frame with a plaque Both are finished in your choice of colours and are framed with a plaque. Or if making imprints, you can opt for unframed. How much do dog paw imprints and outprints cost?. • Framed: £75 • Unframed: £55 (imprints only) Is my dog suitable for a paw imprint or outprint? Your dog needs to be relaxed about a stranger holding their paw, because we press it firmly into the clay to get a clean impression. A quick trim of the hair between the pads before you come makes a real difference to the detail we capture, and all dogs must be up to date with their vaccinations. We're a team of dog lovers so your dog's comfort always comes first, and if our team feels unsafe or the dog isn't happy we may need to stop. Can you take an imprint if my dog has passed away? Unfortunately not. Imprints and outprints have to be taken from your dog here in the studio. What we can offer instead is a take out kit, so you can capture the prints on pottery at home. We'll talk you through how to get the best result when you collect the kit, and we can tidy the prints up for you afterwards. What other dog paw print services do you offer? • Paw Prints on Pottery: your dog's print onto a ceramic piece you'll use or display, like a coaster, mug, bauble or pet bowl. • 3D Dog Paw Casting: your dog's paw preserved in three dimensions, framed or on a plinth When will my keepsake be ready? Clay imprints and plaster outprints need to dry fully before we can process and finish them, so please allow 4 to 5 weeks. We'll email you with a link to book a pick up slot when it's ready. A framed clay paw imprint is a heartfelt thing to give a dog lover. Gift cards and gift vouchers are available if you'd rather let them choose. Book your dog paw imprint or outprint session online at Crafty Monkey Studio, St Neots.
