CLAY IMPRESSIONS
Create a lasting memory of your loved ones.
Our clay impressions are created by pressing hand and footprints into a clay plaque and firing it in a kiln. These make a wonderful personalized gift for family and friends.
Impressions are done by appointment only and take about 20 minutes. Each session is one-on-one, allowing you to choose the size, shape, and design on the day of your appointment. After your session, it takes 4-6 weeks for your impression to be dried and fired.
The Process
Our founder, Christy, will welcome you to your appointment and discuss various shape and design options for your custom plaque.
After the impression is taken, we will cut out the shape you choose and add the engraving. Since clay can be very delicate during the drying process, we allow it to dry slowly over a few weeks to prevent any cracking.
Once the clay is dry, it will be fired for the first time. Then, we will paint it, glaze it, and fire it once more to give it a nice, shiny finish.
