New at the kiln · Belly bowls

A bowl cast from your bump.

Before the tiny hands, there is the bump. A belly bowl is a handcrafted ceramic bowl shaped from your own shape in the last weeks of pregnancy, then glazed and fired here in the studio. A moment in time, bespoke to you and this pregnancy.

The sweet spot is somewhere between 30 and 34 weeks. Like everything that goes through the kiln, it is ready in about three weeks.

Looking for a pregnant mum.

Jo is making a set of beautiful handcrafted belly bowls and is looking for a model for an afternoon. If you are between 30 and 34 weeks and around Westbourne, you are in for a treat, and you keep a bowl of your own.

One thing to know first: you would need to be happy for modest photographs from the afternoon to be shared on Jo's Instagram and here on the website.

Questions parents ask

Yes. We use non-toxic, skin-safe materials, suitable from just a few days old. Your baby's hand or foot only touches the soft clay for a moment.

All ages are welcome. For crisp 3D casts the sweet spot is 0 to 6 months, and footprints are usually easier than hands. Either way, we take our time and wriggles are fine. Your finished prints will be perfect.

Clay is a slow craft. Your piece dries slowly, has a first firing, is glazed by Jo, then fired again. It will be ready in about three weeks, to collect from the studio or post anywhere in the UK, with postage costs added.

Yes, happily! Brothers and sisters, whole families, grandparents and paws are all welcome. Tell us who is coming and we will make time and room.

A gift they'll keep. Vouchers cover prints, casts and any workshop.
