FAQ's

Where will my cast be taken?
The best place for the casting to take place is at my home, this will allow you to see the different options available to you for the finished casts, mount and frames.  These are the finishing touches that will make your cast perfect for you.

How long will the casting take?
Taking the cast itself is very quick, your baby only needs to be in the mould for around a minute, though for a baby that can seem a long time! So, I like to have an hour for a casting session allow you and your baby time to relax and to talk through the process.

What do you use to cast?
The casts are taken using a medically approved material called ‘Alginate’ this is an amazing product made from brown seaweed! It is hypoallergenic for most skin types and allows for rapid mould making in incredible detail. It is used as a dental impression material and as a mould making material for prosthetic limbs.

I would like to have hand casts?
Due to the nature of casting I cannot guarantee hand casts, that is why I charge a basic fee for two feet with extra hands\feet at an addition cost. This means that you will have a beautiful pair of your baby’s feet to frame if the hands are not successful. We will of course refund the additional cost for the hands if I fail to get an acceptable cast.

How do I pay?
I do ask for a £40 deposit to be paid on the day of your casting appointment, the balance can be paid when you come to collect your finished cast or when it is ready to be sent to you. We can accept payment by cheque, credit/debit card or cash.
