Baby clay prints, also known as hand and foot impression, are the ideal way to record that special moment in time and a perfect keepsake to treasure forever.
At Cast a Memory we have been creating highly detailed and accurate clay impressions for babies hands and feet for over 12 years
Our Clay impressions are not just limited to newborn babies. We can also do family hand clay impressions for all ages including teenagers and adult hands. All our frame are custom made, so we can frame multiple prints together.
There are lots of different options available, please ask for details.
Baby hand and feet impressions make a wonderful new baby gift. Ideal for baptism/christening, baby showers or a gift for a special friend.
We offer gift vouchers so the recipient can arrange a suitable time for them.
I saw Sharon’s work at Linkswood Veterinary practice & thought what a wonderful memorial it would be to have. Several weeks later I knew my Daisy’s time on this earth was coming to an end. I called Sharon to arrange her to come to take Daisy’s paw prints. As it was she was at the vet’s when Daisy was given sleep. Sharon was so kind & caring for me & so respectful to Daisy when she took the impressions & ink print. At a convenient time to me I met Sharon at her studio to choose frames & mounts for the 2 sets of impressions that I had ordered. The ink print is always kept so in time I can go back & have a piece of jewellery made. There was no pressure just understanding & compassion. Today I have collected them & I am utterly blown away with them. Thank you so much Sharon your amazing.
Sharon created this little masterpiece for us over the Christmas period due to our cat sadly passing away unexpectedly. She was so unbelievably patient and understanding with us while we struggled to chose the right photos. Her attention to detail and selection of different frames, background colours and lettering is lovely. She really has gone above and beyond to make sure it was perfect for us. Thank you so much Sharon for completing the final piece for our little memorial area for Beau, I love it so much! It’s perfect.

We use a soft clay which is specifically made for taking baby imprints, making it suitable for tiniest hands and feet. We gently push the child’s hand/foot into the soft clay to create the impression. You will then need to decide what type of frame you would like and what colour you would like the mount to be (this is the bit that normally takes the time). We then use the clay impression to make a beautiful 2D tile.
Clay impressions can be taken from just 1 day old – 100 years old.
Babies grown so quickly in the first year of their life. That is why the first 9 months is the perfect time to capture imprints of their hands and feet, so you can keep them as a memento of how tiny they used to be.
The clay impression tile is mounted in a hand made glazed frame of your choice including Oak, Black, White, Silver and dark stained wood and is fully lined with a colour mountboard of your choice.
When booking for a child/baby, please bear in mind their meal times and sleep times, as the experience will be more enjoyable if your child is happy.
