Testimonials to a Successful Clay Handprint Home Business

This Unique Business Opportunity Has Helped Others
Achieve Their Goals

Please read what some of our previous trainee's have to say about our clay handprint training programs:

My friend Trisha and I had been contemplating starting a business together for years. Our ideas ran the gamut, from interior design to buying a coffee shop. As two stay-at-home moms, starting businesses like those was a scary prospect because we didn't know how to begin and there wasn't any assurance that it would turn a profit. I have two little boys and Trisha has twin girls, so the time we could put into a new business was very limited.

All our fears were laid to rest when we received our DVD and Manual to start this clay handprint business. We felt so fortunate to do something so fun, and, how could such a beautiful product not make a

successful business?

The manual was easy to follow and the DVD was very professional and fun to watch. After viewing it a number of times, we realized what a benefit to us it was to have Hedy and Ross's many years of experience helping us along. Without it, we would have spent many years trying to perfect the impressions and instead, it only

took us a month!

Taking out the guesswork has given us the freedom to get creative and we're really excited about the products we have to offer.

Ross and Hedy have been extremely supportive, and proud of our journey. They answered our phone calls and emails promptly and always had just the right thing to say. It took us about four weeks to feel comfortable with the entire process of making the impressions and in our first month we made over $600 without any marketing efforts. We've just signed up our first preschool with over 200 children attending for the Spring! We're so excited and grateful for this opportunity.

Thank you Hedy & Ross!

"I would like to share with others how happy I've been to be trained by Hedy and Ross Hale of Full Moon Studio and Pawprints, real artists and most of all real people.  My first experience with them was ten years ago as a customer of Pawprints.  My first child was in a Mommy and Me class that Hedy came to. 

The heirloom quality and beauty of Pawprints were amazing to me.  Later, I got the chance to have my three children printed at their preschool. 

I have my Pawprints hanging in prominent areas of our home because I love them and I love the memories they sustain for me.  (The comments from others are testimonials in themselves.)

A year ago, I started searching for the small business for me and I contemplated several.  The one that always stood out in front was the ceramic handprint business. 

I have never worked with clay.  I have never had a ceramics class or would even consider myself an artist. 

I desired a business that got me out among people, gave me a creative outlet, provided me alone time but that worked with my large family and our bustling lives.  I also wanted to make money doing something that makes others happy, the brings a smile to the world.

The Hale's are a very likeable couple and they maintain

a great business persona at the same time.  An

important point they are always stressing throughout the training is to keep your business in order.  They show you step-by-step how to do that.  Everything they teach is learnable.  I had fears about my abilities but found throughout my training sessions that we would cover items several times, helping me integrate everything. 

Having since finished the training, setting up my own business and successfully completing my first batches of prints, I can adamantly say that any question you have they will be there to answer.  I had questions all throughout my first batch of prints and and would get immediate e-mail responses from Hedy or Ross.  There were lots of long, detailed explanations helping me to fill in the blanks with their expertise.  I strongly believe that I will be able to call in five years and they would happily help me!

I am pleased with my new business and feel that my training set me up to succeed.  The product is lovely and one-of-a-kind and easy to market.  My mentors are genuine professionals that want to share their gift with you.  I am available to share my experience because it has been wonderful

and life rewarding!"

Sincerely,

Thank you so much for helping me venture into this wonderful new handprint business.  It is changing my life everyday.

My training with you was a fantastic experience.  I can truly say it has jump-started me beyond any expectations.  My business is already started and after only a month of practicing all that you taught me, I feel very confident in my skills with clay.  My handprints are turning out so beautiful.  Friends and family are blown away at what I am creating.  EVERYONE wants one!

For me the best part of training with you has been your ongoing support.  As you know, I am not shy to write an email regarding the littlest thing.  And you have been so wonderful at responding quickly and without hesitation with an answer.  Just knowing I am not alone and have 34 years of experience at my fingertips gives me a huge confidence to go forward and rest assured that I will not be left in the dark.  I couldn't have done it without you.

I feel as though I have known you both for years, thank you.

Your friend,

"I came to Hedy and Ross's ceramic handprint training program with no background working in clay and left feeling confident that I could produce a quality product while making the business

fit my family. 

Training with someone so unfamiliar could have been very challenging, but Hedy and Ross make it enjoyable.  Anytime I found a skill difficult, they would make suggestions and / or modifications until I felt comfortable.  Their training was filled with simple, hands-on techniques and continual encouragement.  Hedy and Ross are extremely warm, genuine and a pleasure to be around.  If you choose to train with them, you will not be disappointed."

Melissa Dearest Hedy and Ross,   Firstly, thank you for all you have shared with me! Your experience, expertise and personal attention far exceeded my expectations. Meeting you both for my hands-on training program was a gift in itself.   I spent over a year thinking about how I could make this dream possible and launch my own business. The reality is, when I finally made the decision to sign up for your training program, I felt relieved, excited and inspired!   Hedy and Ross are both true teachers and their training program is incredibly thorough and straightforward. They gave me the tools I need in order to succeed, from start-to-finish. It was streamlined, fun and very professional. They held absolutely nothing back and shared years of knowledge ... things that would literally have taken me years to figure out. They take great pride in their work and it shows ... I feel so good knowing that I'm creating original artwork ... there is simply nothing sweeter than a unique hand-painted impression of a child's hand and/or foot!      Melissa & Hedy The manual is well written, easy-to-follow and has become my 'bible' ... and I must say that the DVD has been my savior!  I'm a visual learner and I continue to watch certain chapters as needed.   As far as ongoing technical support, advice, suggestions and encouragement. WOW!  Customer Service at it's best. Their response time to email/telephone questions is almost immediate and very thorough. I truly feel that they are both here for me and want to see me succeed.   All in all I feel I've made two wonderfully creative and sincere friends who are passionate about training and helping their students succeed. If anyone is considering this course  ... go for it!  You will not be disappointed. It will help you jump-start your business and you will feel confident in your work.   Every day I feel more confident in my craft and am proud to show my customers the finished product.  I have a wonderful studio space, which has become my little sanctuary. Being a stay-at-home Mom of two girls, it feels so good to contribute to the household income and best of all; I'm having so much fun and feel so fulfilled!   - Melissa
