Casting Details
Low Definition Casting
Done with plaster wraps, capturing the general form of the body. This process requires building up the form with sculptural plaster.
How It Works
The casting process for pregnancy begins between 36 and 38 weeks, with an initial casting session that takes just 30 minutes. This can happen in the comfort of your own home, or at the studio. Once the mold is made, you’ll have the flexibility to choose your preferred design at your own pace. Each custom cast takes approximately 4–6 weeks to complete, and every piece is crafted to fit within your budget, creating a unique, original piece tailored just for you. All other casts have no set timeframe—simply book when you feel inspired!
High Definition Casting
Uses alginate to create a more detailed mold, then plaster is poured in to capture every nuance, such as skin texture and wrinkles. This method is more involved and primarily used for detailed features like hands. All high definition casts are done in-studio.

FAQs
Already Have a Cast?
If you have a homemade cast tucked away—even if it’s seen better days—you can ship it to me for restoration. I’ll bring it back to life with a professional finish!
What to Expect During Casting?
If I come to you, I’ll bring everything needed for the session. We usually work in the kitchen for easy cleanup. All I need is access to a clean countertop and sink. I'll cover the area with sheets, but any mess is easily cleaned with water and paper towels. The plaster doesn’t stain, but I recommend you avoid wearing your favorite clothes—plastic sheets will be used to cover your clothing, and the area being casted will be coated in Vaseline to ensure the plaster doesn’t stick to your skin.
The process typically takes 20 minutes. Once the mold hardens, it's carefully removed. I recommend having a robe handy and planning a shower after the session.
Once I take the mold home, I’ll transform it into your custom artwork!
Nudity & Comfort
Each casting is done with your comfort and privacy in mind. For most torso casts, you’ll wear yoga pants or underwear. Breasts are typically cast without a bra for a more accurate sculpture, but if preferred, you can wear a wireless bra. The process is personal and private—you're in control.
