Initial impression kits - how it works
The initial impression is made by you helping your child or pet to press their hand, foot or paw into our special blend of soft natural clay which picks up the fine detail.
Our simple impression kit has the added benefit of being re-usable, if you do not get a good impression the first time the clay can be squidged up and rolled out and re-used, if the clay dries out it can be easily re-hydrated by misting it with water.
Each kit contains a slab or slabs of natural clay, as well as instructions, an order form and a leaflet. You can specify your requirements, such as the colour and the inscription on the finished plaque, on the order form.
The slabs of clay are large enough for you to make a few impressions.
The impressions can be placed anywhere on the clay as we will select and assemble the best ones in the required composition of your finished plaque before making the mould to cast the glass into.
|
Once you are happy with your impressions you let the clay dry out a little and return your impressions to us in the original packaging & box.
If you choose to purchase the kit only we will set you up an online payment to pay for your plaque when we receive your impressions back or you can give us your payment details on the order form, or over the phone.
If you have your own impressions you would like us to work from we are happy to do so assuming they are of good enough quality, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
