Our popular baby print clay impressions (imprints) and plaster 2D outprints are the perfect way to capture hand, foot and paw prints to make timeless keepsakes! Baby Hand & Foot Imprints & Outprints Capture the Moment: Our baby hand and foot impressions & Outprints offer a unique and lasting way to preserve the tiny hands and feet of your baby Personalised Impressions & Outprints They say the days are long, but the years are short and nowhere is that more true than during those first few months with a new baby. At Crafty Monkey, we understand the importance of the precious early moments of your baby’s life.and help you "freeze time" by capturing every tiny crease, wrinkle, and curve of those precious hands and feet. Our baby keepsakes provide a tangible memory of your baby’s early days, perfect for displaying in your home. Whether you prefer indented clay impressions or raised plaster outprints, it's the perfect way to create a timeless personalised keepsake - a piece of art that you’ll treasure long after they’ve outgrown their first pair of shoes. A Safe, Gentle & Stress-Free Process We use quality non-toxic clay and materials, safe for your baby's delicate skin. We're experienced in capturing the intricate details of baby’s hands and feet. We show attention to detail when personalising and decorating. Clay Imprints Indented & Framed Clay imprints involve creating impression of your baby’s hands and feet, in clay. We gently press your baby’s hand or foot into soft, high-quality clay to create a recessed (indented) impression, capturing the detail. Once fired in our kiln, the ceramic becomes a permanent, rock-hard keepsake. Colour Choice: : Choose from 24 glaze colours and opt to have a sponged border Unframed Option While most people opt for framed, we also offer unframed imprints, adding your baby’s name, age, or date of birth to the piece. You can either attach a hanger to the back or we can add hanging holes for you to put ribbon through to hang. Plaster Outprints Raised & Framed If you want to see every tiny detail in 3D, our outprints are a great option. We take an initial impression in clay, which we then use as a mould to create a raised plaster cast. The resulting piece showcases a lifelike, raised outprint.capturing all the tiny detail and lines of your baby's hand and foot. Colour Choice : Choose from a white or black background with a wide variety of colour for the hand and foot including classic metallic tones like silver, gold, or bronze. . Making Imprints & Outprints We know that visiting a studio with a newborn or a wiggly toddler can feel daunting. Our team are experienced in working with babies of all ages (from just a few days old!), although we recommend waiting until your baby is at least 4 weeks old. 1. Book Appointment Schedule a convenient time for your session by booking online. Please note we only tend to offer these mid-week during term time when the studio is calmer and we have time after your session to start the making process. 3. Personalise After making the impressions into clay, we'll show you the colour options you can choose from and take your baby's details for the engraved plaque or decoration. 5. Collection Once your personalised keepsake is ready, we will email you to arrange collection. 2. Safe & Gentle Getting the hand and foot impressions in clay is quick and safe for baby. Our friendly, experienced staff endeavour to make your baby feel comfortable and secure to ensure a stress-free experience for both you and your baby. 4. Leave With Us Imprints and outprints take a longer time to process than painted pottery due to the long dry times needed and clay impressions require two kiln firings. Allow 4-5 weeks.
