It's so easy

 

We will guide you through the colour and shape options and take the impressions. After that, we do all the work for you - shaping, firing, painting, glazing and glaze fire. Then, depending on which design you have chosen, we will either put a hanger on the item or place it in a frame. It will be ready to collect around 4 weeks later - we will contact you when it is ready. 

​

Lasting impressions are suitable for any age from babies of only a few days old upwards - it's really up to you. We've pressed babies of 3 days old, dogs of 13 years old, twins and triplets together and everything in between!

​

The price includes a choice of colour from our samples, and writing the name, age and year (if wanted) in our general style. As each is freehand painted and written before glaze is applied and fired, there will be variation in the style, position of wording and intensity of colour. Clay is a natural product and some variation and/or shading may show in the finished Impression. 

​

To match an impression made previously, please provide a clear photograph. We will try to match it as closely as possible but cannot guarantee as changes in clay, paint, the painter and firing all have a bearing on the final outcome. 

​

It is very rare but occasionally your impression may crack or develop a fault during the firing process. If this happens we will call you to come back and retake the impressions.
