| At the studio  |  
​It all started with one amazing customer, a brand-new baby, and a splash of blue footprints on a plate — the very first masterpiece of a brand-new little artist! Who could have guessed that sweet moment would grow into thousands of adorable feet (and memories) painted right here in Columbia — and now, all over the place!
At The Mad Platter, we’re tickled pink (and blue!) to be Home of the Original Stork Plate — a playful, hand-painted keepsake that celebrates your little artist’s grand debut. Every plate is made with love, laughter, and just the right touch of magic to capture those tiny toes forever.
We’re so honored to be part of such special first moments with so many growing families.
How it works:

• Stork Visits: When your little one arrives, contact the studio to make an appointment to come to create a one of a kind keepsake.   Prefer outside? We’ll swoop in (quickly and safely!) car side to capture those sweet footprints, then head back into the studio to turn them into a keepsake plate with all the important details.
• Hand-Painted Replicas: Missed a Stork Visit? No worries! Email or bring us your prints and we’ll recreate them by hand — perfect for siblings or those who joined the fun later on.
