THE CASTING PROCESS

HOW IT WORKS

Every casting is created with care, precision, and attention to detail, with prices varying based on age, number of casts, and your chosen finish.

1 YOUR APPOINTMENT

You are welcomed into my studio. Appointments take around an hour. I use high-quality, skin-safe alginate to create the mould. It’s gentle, quick, and safe for all ages. The mould sets in 1–2 minutes and is removed carefully.

2 CHOOSING YOUR STYLE

You’ll be shown:

Frame colours
Mount and backboard colours
Casting finishes: Platinum, Bronze, Copper, Elegance
Optional personalised plaques

3 CREATING THE CAST

Once you leave, the mould is carefully filled with plaster and left to dry. The cast is then hand-sculpted to highlight every wrinkle and crease.

4 Finishing & Framing

Once fully dried, casts are sealed, airbrushed and framed. The turnaround time is approximately 8–12 weeks.
