Step 2 - Taking the Impression
Book an appointment that suits you in my studio, based in East Grinstead.
Home visits can be arranged if this is more convenient for you, however due to the nature of the work I advise attending the appointment at the studio if possible. (travel costs will apply for home visits)

Step 2 - Taking the Impression
At your appointment we will take the impression of your baby's hands/feet.
We do this by using premium, non-toxic, skin safe seaweed based impression material called Alginate, this is the material that is typically used at the dentist when they take an impression of your mouth.
The material sets within a matter of minutes but I allow between 40-60 minutes for your appointment.

You can choose the finish of your casts, the mounting material and the framing style to ensure that your cast fit in with the decor of your home.
