Come join us and make an individualized family heirloom!In a couple of hours, we will help you create a 3D Hydrocal (cast gypsum stone) direct copy of one of your hands and/or one of your child’s hands. You will be amazed when you see your hand replicated in near perfect fingerprint detail. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a cast stone duplicate of your hand/s ready for display! 3D hand casting is a great way to capture the early years of your child’s quickly changing physiognomy.
About the process:
As long as your child can sit relatively still at a table for 10-12 minutes or so, they are a good candidate for the experience. For the hand casting process, we use a seaweed based alginate dental material that is safe for skin contact. (It will feel like cool pudding being poured over your hand.) We will do most of the work for you, but at the same time, you will see how to do it yourself for future castings. Come join us, bring your camera and see your kids eyes get big with amazement as they hold a hyper realistic 3D copy of their own hand!
