About



When you buy something that is made by a person, there is something special there, and you do feel it. The consciousness with which a thing is made is often more important than the thing itself. J. DONALD WATERS

The Idea

Bumblebee Handprints started nine years ago in the Bay Area. After being a technical recruiter for 10 years, I decided to make a career change. I first learned how to make pottery in high school and continued to have a passion for clay. While on vacation, I had my first son’s handprints made. I fell in love with the idea of making imprints of children’s hands and feet that would last a lifetime. I then started Bumblebee Ceramics and have enjoyed helping families have long lasting memories.

Style & Quality

Bumblebee Ceramic captures your child’s and pet’s hand and footprints to create a keepsake for your family to cherish. We use high-quality, non-toxic clay to take a detailed impression of the hands and feet of your child or beloved pet. The print is then personalized, glazed, and kiln-fired to create a lasting ceramic keepsake to remind you just how precious your little treasures are. I love creating unique items that people love to give and receive.

100% Handmade

Everything I do is 100% handmade in the USA and created with passion and love for the end product. I believe in simple clean and classic looking items; which I think comes out in my work. Along with handprints I am now also offering ceramic items that can be great for gift giving, weddings, hostess gifts, teacher gifts, friendship gifts…..the options are endless.
