Pieces
start at $75 and go up from there.
Depending on the piece that is desired, we can either cast the
mold in your home or at our studio near Hudson, WI.
Larger pieces require that we cast the mold out of our
studio just because we cannot be moving our large equipment
around. Babies and small children, however, are easier to
capture their hands or feet while asleep and therefore, we cast
their mold in your home. Older children, adults, and elderly can
be cast at the preference of the customer.
For smaller pieces, it takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour
and for larger pieces, it takes approximately 2 hours.
Depending on the piece of art that you want depends on what one
needs to wear. We
always recommend wearing old clothes because if we should get
some of the material on your clothes, it is very hard to get out
of clothing. For
larger pieces that involve the torso, we supply a robe for your
comfort.
Yes,
all of the materials that touch the skin are safe. The
material used is called alginate which is made out of sea weed
so it is all natural. We have not experienced anyone having any
problems with a skin reaction.
Sure,
any age can have bodycasting done.
Of course, some ages are easier than others.
Infants are easy to cast a mold since they sleep so much
and don’t move around a lot.
Toddlers can be tricking since they seem to have a mind
of their own and they don’t understand the importance of holding
still so we prefer to cast them while asleep as well. Usually
around age 4 or so they will cooperate so we can cast them with
no problems. Adults
are easy to mold a cast from as well as the elderly.
