Children grow so fast. Your family goes from 2 to 3 in the blink of an eye. Capture these changes with clay impression. Remember how small your baby’s hand was when he was born? Look at it now six months later. Has it changed? A clay impression will show you how much your baby has grown and will last longer than paper.
An impression is actually an imprint placed into ceramic clay. The clay is then cleaned and any decorative pattern work is done. The clay is then allowed several days to dry. Once the clay is dry enough, it is then glazed and fired in a kiln.
There are many reasons to get impressions made. One of the main reasons is to capture a moment in time. Like pregnancy, childhood disappears quickly. A clay impression can freeze a special moment in time. Another reason to get impressions made is it is a great way to bond as a family. Everyone gets involved and can make an impression. Additionally, impressions make great gifts, especially for grandparents! If you are having problems figuring out what to get for a baby shower or a holiday gift, impressions can’t be beat!
