Small hands do not stay small. A handprint pressed into stoneware and fired is a genuinely permanent record of a size your child will not be again, and it holds up far better than the plaster kits that crack and yellow.
At Fort Collins Pottery we do handprint plates, tiles, and dishes for families across Fort Collins. It works for a single child or for siblings on one piece, and grandparents tend to be the most enthusiastic audience for the results. The session is short and forgiving. Clay is patient with children in a way most craft materials are not.
Everything is fired stoneware with food-safe glaze, so these are usable objects, not just keepsakes. Expect a few weeks between the session and the finished piece.
