Here's some handy info: Clothing: Dress your little one in something with easy-to-roll sleeves and legs. Our paint is non-toxic and easily washes off clothing, but "comfy-casual" is best! Timing: Try to time your visit between naps or right after a feed. A "full and happy" baby makes for the best handprints! The "Clench" Factor: If your baby is under 6 months, their hands are naturally "fisty." Don't stress - we can usually get a handprint, but for newborns we recommend footprints. Relax: We’ve seen it all - crying, wriggling, and "nappy accidents." We’re a family and breast feeding friendly studio; just bring the baby, and we’ll handle the rest.

Hand & Foot Print Ideas Are your pottery handprints & footprints only for babies? Absolutely not! While capturing those tiny newborn toes is a popular tradition, our prints on pottery sessions are available for all ages. From the delicate feet of a new born to the growing hand of preschoolers and school-aged children, every stage can be preserved on our ceramics. In fact, many families love creating "Generational Pieces." Depending on the size of the pottery item you choose (such as large platters, plant pots or vases), even adults can add their handprints alongside their baby or children. It’s a beautiful way to document how your family grows together over the years. Whether it’s a single tile for a nursery or a full family plate, we help you create a timeless keepsake regardless of age. Book a Print Session How Much Do Prints on Pottery Cost?

Yes, we offer different sessions to accommodate more than one mum and baby. If you book a our session for 6 or more mums and babies to do prints you will all get free studio fees. This is popular for NCT groups of new mums. Head over to our booking page to see the different sessions we offer. Why choose Crafty Monkey? Crafty Monkey is a reputable, established local small business with a good track record of creating baby keepsakes since 2010. We have a high street presence and are open 7 days a week. See our reviews from satisfied customers. We're also committed to sustainability and use eco-friendly materials and processes wherever possible. Why do you limit availability for print sessions at weekends and in holidays? To ensure we can get the best baby print as possible, these sessions require a little extra time, a calm environment, and a specially trained member of our team. Because our studio is often bustling with painters during weekends and school holidays, we schedule print sessions during quieter mid-week times. This allows us to give you and your baby our full, undivided attention without the rush. We do however offer a couple of sessions on a weekend as we understand sometimes you would like to add other children's prints too who are at school mid-week. Please be aware these sessions may not be as relaxed as during the week. Can you do the writing and designs for me? We certainly can! Many parents get us to decorate and add the "Crafty Monkey Touch." You choose the colors and the character (like a penguin, elephant, or reindeer), and our artists can add the names, dates, and extra details for you for a personalisation fee. Is there a studio fee for babies? At Crafty Monkey, we have a standard studio fee of £4.50 per painter plus the cost of the pottery item you choose. This covers the use of underglaze paints, clear glazing and firing. For baby print sessions, if you have more than one baby or child doing prints we just charge one studio fee for the print session. This includes you decorating the piece. If combining the print session with a pottery painting session, each painter will be charged a studio fee. Prints are included in the studio fee.
