​

Will you notify me when my items are ready?

We will send you a text message to confirm when your items are ready. We then keep items for 2 months for you to collect.

​

Do you do baby handprints and footprints?

Yes! We love meeting babies and helping you to create something that will be cherished forever. Let us know if this is something you want and we will be sure to help. We recommend coming in on a weekday if you would like one-to-one help getting the perfect prints. At weekends, this can be tricky when we have a busy shop full of people!

​

I have a very wriggly baby! Can we still get a good print?

We have lots of tricks up our sleeves to get a good print. Sometimes babies and toddlers are very stubborn with scrunched up fists, we do have some good tricks to get a good print, but we can always get a footprint!

​

Is my pottery dishwasher and microwave safe?

We recommend handwashing your items to prolong their lives, these are precious items that you have spent a long time creating and deserve only the best treatment! We also advise against microwaving, as they do get EXTREMELY HOT.

​

IMPORTANT:

Microwaving your pottery could make your pieces EXTREMELY HOT. Please please handle with extreme caution, and limit microwaving them if you can.
