Book a call with me [Image: Plaster cast of two hands bound with rope] What can be cast ## From a hand to the whole body - 01 ### Torso & chest The classic sculptural cast: chest, shoulders, belly — with or without hands resting on the body. For a milestone or simply the body as it is today. - 02 ### For two Hands intertwined, two torsos, an embrace — cast in one session. A sculpture about a relationship, not only a body. - 03 ### Vulva Every vulva is unique. Alone, with a partner or in a small group — relaxed, private and a lot less awkward than you think. More about vulva casting - 04 ### Hands The most expressive part of us. Single hands, pairs, generations: a partner, a parent, a friend. - 05 ### Full body Usually developed as a commission.

[Image: Brooke applying gold leaf to a plaster cast with a fine brush] Finishes ## White, gold or bronze Every cast begins as white plaster, which many people keep for its quiet, almost classical presence. From there the surface is open to experiment: mineral pigments, patinas, gold leaf, metal effects — or a bronze cast that lasts generations. - White plaster included - Pigment & patina on request - Gold leaf & metal effects on request - Bronze casting on request How it works ## Good things take time - ### A call Free and without obligation.

The price includes the consultation call, the casting session, the cast in white plaster and hand finishing. Casts of two people, full-body casts and commissions are quoted after a conversation; pigment, gold leaf, metal effects or bronze are calculated separately. **How long does a casting appointment take?** A casting session usually takes a few hours, depending on the size of the cast and whether one or two people are cast. The alginate itself only stays on the skin for a few minutes before it sets; the rest of the time goes into preparation, the support shell and careful removal. **Is alginate safe for skin?** Yes. Alginate is a skin-safe, water-based moulding material made from seaweed — related materials are used for dental impressions. It does not pull hair, feels cool for a moment and then warms up. At Life Casting Berlin a protective cream is applied before the alginate. **Can I choose the sculpture’s material and finish?** Yes. Every cast begins in white plaster, which is included. It can also be made in water-based acrylic resin and finished with mineral pigments, patina, metal effects or gold leaf — or cast in bronze. Material and finish are discussed in the consultation call and quoted separately. **Is the casting session private?** Yes. Sessions at Life Casting Berlin take place in a private studio, by appointment only and without an audience — unless you bring a partner or friends. Casts are never photographed, shown or published without your written consent. **Can two people be cast together?** Yes. Hands, torsos or an embrace of two people can be cast in one session — for couples, friends or family members. These pieces are quoted after a conversation. **What should I wear, and how much do I need to undress?** Only the part being cast needs to be uncovered. Wear something comfortable you don’t mind getting a little plaster on. Towels and a changing area are there for you. **Do I need to shave?** Yes, please come freshly shaved on the area being cast — it gives the cleanest, most detailed surface. If you’d rather not shave, tell me beforehand; hair trimmed very short can work too. I apply a protective cream first, and the alginate does not pull hair. **How long until my sculpture is ready?** About three months. Every piece is refined and finished by hand — bronze takes a little longer. The timing is part of your written quote. **Do you accept every request?** Every project starts with a conversation. Because I work closely with each person, I take on projects that feel right for both of us and reserve the right to decline a request. ## Your body, this year.
