The Lifecasting Process
Lifecasting is a 3000 year old process that produces beautiful sculptures from life. Transform you or your loved one’s body or body parts into a timeless, 3-dimensional work of art. This process is the experience you can expect when having a cast done for yourself.

Step 1
Decide on
a pose or
body part
to be
cast

Step 2
Apply dental alginate,
a safe molding gel that
dentists use to make
impressions of your teeth, all
over the parts of the body that will
be in the finished sculpture. 3-10 min
Step 3
Apply plaster gauze bandages onto the
alginate to make a hard cast. 5-10 min .
This step is eliminated if doing a hand or
foot only.
Step 4 & 5
Once the cast has hardened,
I will remove it from your body.
Your part in the process is now
over and we have our negative
mold. I will cast and reinforce
the negative mold with gypsum
to create the positive mold.
Step 6
Once the positive mold has hardened, I remove the alginate & plaster bandages and we have our positive mold.
   
Step 7
I will then sand, trim, shape, finish, seal and possibly mount your sculpture in to a timeless, beautiful, work of art that will last a lifetime.
