Words cannot express how much we love for our castings of our little ones and our family of five family hand/feet tree. It was a great experience getting the castings done, Sharon is very experienced in how to get the best moulds for the best outcomes. We had a challenge getting my 2 year old castings done in the first session who has suspected sensory processing disorder, so we arranged to come back and was more successful. However Sharon was so understanding and accommodating for him to help get the outcome we all wanted. Such a lovely studio and service with many options of frames/products. So if you want amazing casts of your little ones hands or feet Cast a memory is the place to go! Thank you again xx

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you take clay impression from my pet?

All prints for clay are taken at our studio in Pebmarsh, Essex, near Colchester/Sudbury.

We use a soft clay which is specifically made for taking pet imprints. We gently push the animals paw into the soft clay to create the impression. You will then need to decide what type of frame you would like and what colour you would like the mount to be (this is the bit that normally takes the time). We then use the clay impression to make a beautiful 2D tile.

How do you take impression from my pet for jewellery?

If you require jewellery then please contact us for an ink kit.

We will send this to you so you can take your pets paw prints. Please view our help video guide to show you How to take a paw print, which will show you how to take the impression.

The kit then needs to be sent back to us to make your final jewellery piece.

If you wish for us to take the prints please let us know.

We are thrilled with the hand and foot caste ordered. The service was not rushed and had a personal touch, Sharon takes her time to point out all of the options available such as frame type and other variables. Off the back of the hand and foot cast I am very soon to receive two charms for a sweetie bracelet for a gift at Christmas. Sharon has been professional at all times and has been a trusty and genuine service provider her work is creative and personal - not much else to say but thoroughly recommended!
