3D Life Casting - Creating Memories that Last Forever
So it started on a shopping spree on a Sunday afternoon in a craft shop, Lisa was looking for crafty bits and I was looking at packets of clay and a bucket of plaster of Paris thinking I could make 3D hand casts of our 3 children.
Unfortunately I was wrong, not only wrong but Lisa took great pleasure in telling me how I shouldn't have bothered buying it,
"I told you to put it back but your were being stubborn!"
"What a waste of money!"
It wasn't until then that we actually sat down and thought how amazing it really would be if we could create these amazing hand and foot casts.
We spent a lot of time researching techniques, materials and suppliers then we took a punt and bought in some of the materials that are used in this trade, we practiced and got it wrong, we practiced again and still they came out wrong, we then bought different materials and tried again until eventually we had perfect little hand and feet casts.
We decided to go live and advertise our new skill free of charge to a small amount of people with new born babies, we got it right every time, very happy customers getting these casts and at no cost.
Since then we have been casting and creating amazing memories for everyone!

what we do
Babies
We tend to find ourselves casting babies and doing more baby hand and foot casts more than anyone else, there is nothing better than capturing your new additions tiny little features and saving them forever. The options are endless from plain casts out of the mould or painted in one of the many colours we have and putting them on a nice wooden base to go on the sideboard or into and nice frame for the wall for everyone to see, whatever you choose we guarantee it'll be unique and finished to a very high standard.
Family
We take a lot of pride in our work and we aim to give every person we meet a great experience so when we create a family piece we like to sit down and discuss with you about what sort of end product you have in mind, and although with kids we cannot guarantee what pose will come out of the mould we will always endeavour to make it as perfect for you as possible!
We have met a lot of great families some of whom have become good friends of ours!
what we do
Bespoke
Although we have a set design of frames and bases we understand that sometimes people like to be different, we are always excited when people come to us with new ideas and things we have not tried before, below is a selection of bespoke pieces we have done in the past, so if you have an idea you'd like to try we are always happy to help you create it!
