Pinkies & Piggies® Origins
In 2004, as Rachel welcomed her firstborn, Esther, into the world, she immediately started searching for a special way to capture the beauty of her precious little hands and feet. It took some experimenting, but soon enough Rachel had created exact glass replicas of Esther's hands and feet, etched with her name and birth date. Everyone who saw them was amazed by their incredible level of detail, down to the tiniest lines in her fingerprints. Soon, people were asking her to create glass keepsakes for their babies — and the requests just kept on coming.
In 2006, Rachel named her creations Pinkies & Piggies® and began producing them from her home studio in Ohio.
The Legacy Continues
Hi, I'm Kayla! For years, I watched my Aunt Rachel transform tiny, fleeting details into precious works of glass art that families still treasure today. In January 2026, I stepped in to carry that legacy forward.
Pinkies & Piggies has a new home at Echo Glassworks, my own glass studio built on the same craft and care that started it all. The name Echo Glassworks says it all: I create a perfect glass echo of the details we always want to hold — the whirls, wrinkles, and textures worth studying over and over again.
Whether you've been a Pinkies & Piggies customer for years or are discovering Echo Glassworks for the first time, I'm so glad you're here. Here's to honoring the past and crafting something beautiful together.
