Prints on Pottery 3D Baby Casts For a truly high-definition memory, our 3D casts capture every tiny wrinkle and fingernail. These are standalone sculptures that can be framed or displayed on a plinth. The Process: A quick, safe molding process that captures a perfect 3D replica. Best for: A premium, "wow-factor" nursery centerpiece. Baby Casts Imprints in Clay Capture a clay impression of your baby's hands or feet.

The Process: Once dry, they're fired in our kiln and painted to highlight the print. Best for: Rustic, timeless wall hangings. Baby Imprints Plaster Outprints Show off every delicate detail of your child’s hands or feet with outprints. They're the opposite of clay impressions and the hand or foot "raised" from the surface of the plaster. The Process: We take a clay mold and use it to create a raised plaster finish.

Buy a Gift Card Book a Session Prepare for Your Baby Print Session Crafty Monkey's Top Tips We want your session at Crafty Monkey to be as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. To help us capture those perfect tiny details, here are a few handy tips to help you prepare for your visit with your baby to our studio: A Note for Parents : Our studio is a breastfeeding-friendly space, and we have room for buggies. If your little one is having a "fussy" day, don't worry - we’ll take our time and work at their pace. Timing is Everything Try to schedule your appointment around your baby’s nap and feed times. A well-fed, baby who's just had a nap or is sleepy is usually the most relaxed, which makes it much easier to get a clear print. If they happen to fall asleep in the car on the way here - don't wake them. If doing footprints on pottery we can usually get them while they snooze. For other services, you can choose your colours and personalisations while they sleep. Dress for Success While the clay and paint we use are non-toxic and wash off easily, we recommend dressing your little one in something that provides easy access to their hands and feet. Avoid : Tight leggings, complicated button-up dungarees, or delicate "best" outfits. Ideal : A simple baby grow or a short-sleeved vest works best.. The "Wiggle" Factor Don’t worry if your newborn or toddler are a "wiggler". Our team is experienced (we’ve seen it all!) and we have tricks. We work quickly and gently so it's as stress-free as possible. Think About Your Customisation Before you visit us, have a quick think about: Colours : Have a think about colours you like Designs : If doing prints, do you want plain or designs? Wording : If making gifts, what writing would you like. Check spellings of names and dates you’d like us to include. Pottery : If prints, view our pottery range online for ideas Frame : For imprints & outprints, do you want a black, white or wood coloured deep-box frame? Warm Hands and Feet If it’s a chilly day, and opting for imprints or outprints, try to keep your baby's hands and feet tucked away and warm until we start. Warm skin is generally more subtle and softer and better for getting a detailed impression in the clay than cold, stiff fingers! Bring a Spare Outfit While it's relatively mess-free. It’s always a good idea to have a spare outfit and some extra wipes in your changing bag if going somewhere else after, Just in case! Book a Session Do You Cater for Mum & Baby Groups in Your Studio? We certainly do! We get lots of groups of mum's with their babies in our St Neots based pottery studio. Usually people who have met at an NCT group. Our group sessions for mums and their little one's are a fun way to create personalised hand and footprint ceramic keepsakes while catching up with friends in a baby-friendly environment. Book a Session Do You Visit Baby Groups & Nurseries? Crafty Monkey offers a mobile service and visit baby groups, nurseries, playgroups and venues to capture hand and footprints on pottery. We bring everything needed to create a "pop-up" keepsake studio. We cover Huntingdonshire and parts of Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. Get in touch if you would like us to visit you!
