Please allow 45 minutes for your private appointment and make sure your little one is dressed so that arms and legs are accessible. 

When you arrive we will talk about the kind of casts you want and how you want them to look as there are a range of colours and framing options.

Each cast is taken using safe, non toxic alginate made from seaweed -  it's the same stuff the dentists take moulds of your teeth!  

This is mixed during your appointment and as soon as it's ready we insert hands/foot into the alginate and wait for it to set. It starts off bright pink but within two to three minutes it has turned white and we are ready to wriggle free.

That's your part done!

 

What remains is for me is to mix and pour a special casting powder into the mould which we leave to set. It is then demoulded and left to dry completely (a good few weeks!) before I paint in your chosen colours.

Because of this process we estimate 8-12 weeks to get your casts returned to you.

At busy periods such as the lead up to Christmas this may be longer. 

​

Please note that all baby casts will be framed.

​

I can also offer sibling casts or couples casts - a perfect way to celebrate a wedding or anniversary perhaps.

Please contact me to discuss your requirements so I can work out a bespoke quote if necessary.
