Clay Impressions are my specialty! I love clay and I love babies so bring your baby to Fired Up for a clay session so we can create a lasting memory of your lil one. Please call for an appointment I would hate for you to show up and I have a full house and baby cannot wait! Sessions start at $40 so bring your theme and ideas to the studio, unless Mommy brain is in full motion then leave the thinking to me. You get to paint them yourself at a later date or you can commission Fired Up to work your magic. Want more than one? You are in luck because I love a bargain and will make it worth your while to make one for your parents, the in laws, or just more for you! Come get cozy in my historic home and garden and enjoy the peace we have created at Fired Up. There is nothing I like better than to peek out the back window and see a Mama feeding her baby on the back patio…sigh…can’t wait for your next visit! PS If you don’t have a baby but someone you love is about to or just has, Please consider a Gift Certificate for a Clay Impression session, nothing says I LOVE YOU like a baby’s hand print!

Age 4=excited to do new things, loves getting their creative thing on, and sharp tools make it ALLLL the better!!! Lil Alex had a blast rolling out her clay, pressing her own hand into the clay, and using the cutting tool to cut out her shape. If we had been paying more attention to her and not the fact that us “Girls” hadn’t seen each other since High School…we may still have that memorable masterpiece! A lot of water mixed with a strong desire to cut anything and everything with her cutting tool made for a FUN activity. Luckily Miss Sarah got her clay rolled out and cut and got all 4 of her friends’ kids clay impressions!!! FYI If you are reading this and have children…they are is GOOD hands when we design and press your lil ones hands/feet into clay! Please call and make an appointment today, create a lasting memory of those precious creatures before they are as BIG as you! 949-498-3929 or email FiredUpSanClemente@sbcglobal.net

This sentimental, loving, and thought-FULL Grandma carries on the hand print tradition from when her kids were little to her family’s next generation. Her granddaughter helps paint hers and brothers clay impressions while spending another quality day with Grandma. First they had brought in her mama’s hand print from the 70s and had Fired Up mimic the size and cut. And then today they spent an afternoon painting the plaques to surprise Mama! What an AWESOME gift to give!!! Nothing says I LOVE YOU like a memory set in clay! Make your appointment today before they are asking you to do yours at 90??!! We recently got my Grandpa’s prints w/ the GREAT Grandkids’ in clay, he’ll be 90 this July, talk aboot a keepsake! Remember these lil sprouts grow faster than we can imagine, call me 949-498-3929, mention this BLOG post and I’ll throw in a FREE individual hand/foot print. Fired UP!!!

Not to sound morbid…but before it is too late…schedule your pet’s clay impression session at Fired Up. We are kid AND pet friendly and ready to put lasting memories into a slab of clay. Whatever shape you desire will be cut by our careful hands and you will be able to paint your masterpiece after it is dried and fired. If your pet is too old or skiddish to come in, call ahead and we will roll out the clay and send it home for you to imprint and then bring back. Trust me on this one, just cuz they are young doesn’t mean things don’t happen unexpectedly. Last night our little Jack got hit by a car and we lost him…and I didn’t even have his clay impressions yet…am very sad right now. Please keep my children in your prayers and thoughts as this is their first personal hit with the circle of life that we all are a part! FYI the kitty above was our Peaches kitty the day before she passed after 17 years of life with the Hopkin fam. Seize the Day and Put ‘em in Clay!!!

This one’s going to be a keeper! My Grandpa Witte, 90 this July, was visiting from Middletown, Ohio so I seized the day and got his hand clay impression with each of the Great Grandchildren in our West Coast Fam. How often does a person say, “Hey check out my hand print with my GREAT Grandpa’s hand print???!!! I LOVE my job so please seize the day for your little one and schedule a Clay Impression Session with me at Fired Up today or when the relatives are in town! They are only small once so make sure to mark the milestone before you are sending them off to college! This is especially for ALL my FRIENDS who haven’t come in yet to do this…you know who you are
