About Us
At Handcrafted Impressions, every etched mirror tells a story- yours.
Meet Ashley
Hi, I'm Ashley Minshew, and my etching journey began with the support of my husband. What started as a personal passion grew into a way to preserve the moments that matter most. I believe memories are life's most precious treasures-when they're etched into something tangible, they become even more meaningful.
Meet Christopher
Hi, I'm Christopher Minshew. My role at Handcrafted Impressions began with simply believing in Ashley's creativity. From the start, i encouraged her to turn her passion into something more because i knew how much joy it brought to her. I'm always behind the scenes-helping with ideas, sourcing materials and making sure she has the time and space to create. Most importantly, I support her emotionally and help with the kids so she can focus on her art. For me, this isn't just her dream-its ours, and I'm proud to be part of it.
From Inspiration to Creation
Every piece begins with a story-whether it's yours or one I've created to inspire. I use traditional hand-etching techniques, not machines or lasers, because i believe in the beauty of craftsmanship and the soul that comes from handmade work.
Core Values
Legacy & Preservation
My work is about preserving memories and moments that matter. I want each piece to be something that lasts-something that can be passed down or cherished for years.
