Whose hand will you hold forever? Whether it’s the start of your life together or 50 years in a couple handcast marks a moment in time and commemorates it forever 🫶

While marking a single moment these pieces quickly become a talking point and grow to become family heirlooms, capturing family stories, memories and history ✨

Most of the work I do here at the studio is about family… but not all 😅 There was that time when I was asked to make a mould of an actor for a very specific part. The play was The Lieutenant of Inismore by Martin Mc Donagh, very dark and very funny! One of the characters gets shot in the second half and the body remains on stage for the whole second half…. Queue West Cork Casting Studio 🙌

Myself and my buddy .art went down to Rossmore one Sunday to make the mould with a very obliging actor. It was certainly an acting lesson for all of us… the mould took slightly longer to go off than it said on the tin and there was an element of minor panic with myself and Kay… not that you would have known it… we looked calm and collected on the surface 😅🙈

Weeks later we were invited to go and see it, it’s an excellent play! And the bust we created played an Oscar winning role because towards the end of the play I overheard someone behind me whisper to her companion “that actor has been on stage an awful long time” ⭐️

If you have an idea for a cast that’s outside of the norm don’t hesitate to make contact and we can have a chat about it and turn your idea into reality 🙌

Just over 10 years ago I was on a career break from my 9-5 adult guidance job. Since taking the break we moved to west Cork and had a second baby…. The prospect of going to back to the office was not attractive to me and then….😅

Then I saw a Facebook post showing a family of four (just like mine) having their hands cast together. A that was it, I had to know how to do it and so spent the next year or so practicing at home. One of my first pieces was my own family ✨

The girls were maybe 3 and 6 and I loved the idea of them growing up and looking at their little hands 👋🏻 and now we have one (hopefully) heading off to college in September all growed up! I’m so glad I was able to capture them when they were so small 🥰

Maybe your family is getting older, thinking about college and jobs, thinking about branching off and leaving the family home 🏠 A family circle lifecast is a wonderful show of togetherness and the strength of family unity. A creative way of keeping the whole family together forever 🤗

PM for details and booking 🙏

By the way!! I had initially mounted our family cast on a round board, bad move… it rolled onto the floor and smashed to pieces 😩 luckily I was able to put it back together, tidy up the cracks and remould and cast a new piece! See today’s stories for some of that 🙌
