Is there anything dangerous about the casting process?

No. The materials and process used are in no way dangerous or harmful to people.

We provide detailed and simple instructions so that you get a good result. In the baby and infant casting kits, we supply enough material so that you can have a trial go.

It depends on which kit you purchase. With a baby or infant kit it usually takes about 10-15 mins maximum. With the pregnant belly and boobs kit, it will take about 45 mins in total.

We are in the process of setting up a diary system so that we can offer home appointments. Contact us for further details.

Yes - you can cast anyone of any age! That is the wonderful thing with body casting – every little detail will be captured no matter what age.

The products we use are non allergenic and are 100% safe to use on the skin so it is highly unlikely that anyone will experience an allergic reaction when casting. If you experience any problems then do not hesitate to contact us.

Not at all. We recommend that the hottest water you use is lukewarm and cold for everything else.

Lovely and gooey! It is like putting that part of your body into blancmange (if you have ever done this?!).

Preferably old clothes that you don’t mind spoiling. Depending on which body part you are casting depends on how messy things may get! To be on the safe side we recommend that you wear old clothes incase they do get any of the materials on them.

We will try & help where we can. If you contact us, we will discuss the cast with you and do our best to supply you with the materials you need.

No, you can cast any body part!. You will just need to apply a little bit of Baby Oil before you cast him.

Yes. The impression powder will not damage any jewellery, infact it will show every detail of a piece of jewellery.

It will be easier if you get a friend to help out as you will need help to mix up the powders.

Casting your pregnant belly will have no effect on your baby at all. It will just give you a fantastic reminder of a wonderful 9 months of your life.

It is entirely up to you. We suggest that doing a cast from about 30 weeks onwards is probably best as your belly will be a nice prominent shape at this stage.

We are in the process of setting up a diary system so that we can offer professional castings.
