A keepsake from the smallest hands you'll ever know.
Each year, classrooms across the country press their children's hands into a simple kit we send. Those impressions come back to a quiet studio, where every one is sculpted by hand into a keepsake parents actually hang on the wall.
Returning after 25 years. Originally run with schools across Los Angeles County.

Every piece, by one pair of hands. Small batch on purpose, because once you scale this kind of work, it stops being the kind of work.

- · No collecting payments — parents order directly
For parents
A piece you'll hold onto long after they grow out of it.
Not at a school running the program? Order a kit directly. We mail everything you need, you press the impressions at home, and we sculpt your keepsake within a few weeks.

A note from Lance
"I made these for thirty years before stepping back. I'm starting again because every parent who still has one tells me the same thing — they thought it would be cute, and it turned out to be the thing they grab first in a fire."
— Lance Rediger, founder
