At any casting appointment, we will take fingerprints for free for you to keep as a family.
Memory bank Service
This cost includes the cast of one hand & a permanent mould made £800. This means the moment is saved without the need to rush into a final piece or design.
(this includes £200 to be taken off your later design choice for the final piece)
We can then cast you or family members with the saved cast hand to create different styles of keepsakes or subsequent hands for family members.
Single hands
These come with a small cushion and are exceptionally detailed. Due to the nature of how hands can change when passing. There are things we can do to add a fullness to the hand. We won't adapt or make any changes without confirming with you prior.

Cold cast metal £1000
Foundry bronze £2500

Loosing a loved one is always a difficult time and we aim to work with you to capture the moment to make a perfect 3D Casting to touch, hold and remember the one you love. We also take free fingerprints with any of our hand casting bookings.
Because we know how much there is to decide and organise during this time, if you are unsure of how you want the final hand cast to be we offer a memory banking service. This is where we take a casting of the hand of a loved one which can then have a permanent mould made of the hand. This means your moment is stored and then you can come to the studio at a later date and choose to see the samples of the available metals for the final hand cast. With this service we can design with you a specialist casting where you and loved ones can hold the hand cast to make a more stylised sculptural piece, add the hands of children or family members can have copies of the same hand.
