Tiny Toes: Mug Day

Your baby's tiny footprint makes the perfect keepsake, and this monthly appointment lets you preserve it in a handmade ceramic mug. When you arrive with your little one, the team at Kiln Creations will gently press their foot into soft clay to create a permanent impression. The 16-ounce stoneware cup is then painted, glazed, and fired by their artists, resulting in a functional piece you'll treasure and actually use. You can choose between a solid color design or a classic white mug with the footprint highlighted in your selected color. Each appointment lasts just 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy parents with infants. The cost is $65 per baby, and the studio creates an extra backup cup since handmade pottery can be unpredictable—if both turn out beautifully, you get to pick your favorite. All painting, glazing, and firing are included, and no prior pottery experience is needed. These appointments are designed specifically for newborns through 12-month-olds. Keep in mind that appointments are non-refundable and non-transferable, and your finished mug will be ready for pickup after the glazing and firing process is complete.
