About The Edinburgh Casting Studio

Here's a little bit more information our little company and our world famous casting kits.

You get what you pay for

We know we’re not the cheapest option when it comes to buying a home casting kit, and that’s okay. You can buy super cheap kits that have been made in China and they are cheap for a reason.

The cost difference is because our hand casting kits are far superior quality. They are the only kits that have been developed by the world’s leading lifecasting artists Wrightson and Platt and use the best quality materials and instructions.

If you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind if the detail isn’t so good, then the cheaper kits are fine. We think it’s great that there are affordable options for everyone 🙂

About our Casting Kits

Our US-made kits include everything you need to make the highest quality, finely detailed cast (except an electric mixer!)

Unlike cheaper imported kits you may have seen, we don’t include extra plastic bits and bobs because we hate waste and we’d rather spend that money on making sure the all-important casting materials are the very best they can be.

We’re often asked “can it go wrong” and the honest answer is “yes, occasionally”. But when you buy one of our kits you can trust us to help you make it right. Whether that means sending you some more casting materials or giving you expert technical tips, we’re here to hold your hand 🙂

Who is it for?

Our kits are perfect for anyone who needs to make a lasting memory of real quality to cherish forever.

Our casting material is totally skin safe and non-toxic so fine to use on babies or delicate older skin.

It also sets nice and quickly (1-2 minutes) so is ideal for everyone including young, elderly or frail customers who can’t stay in the same position for up to 10 minutes (the setting time for most of the cheaper kits we’ve tested).
