Castings
At Zoe Green Casting we create beautifully crafted, high quality casts of baby hands and feet in bronze, silver, gold, glass and plaster. We can come to your home to take the casts at a time to suit you and your baby, or you can visit us in south London.
Casts will be ready approximately 20-25 working weeks after confirmation and payment of your order. If you have a deadline, please let us know and we will try our hardest to meet it. Please be aware that engraving and plating may take an extra 2-3 working weeks.
​
If you are based within the M25 there is no charge for us to come to your home, if you are based outside of the M25 we ask that reasonable travel expenses are covered by the client, please contact us to discuss. We also offer a remote service for clients who live further afield.
Please note that if no order is made at the time of casting, a casting fee of £100 will be charged to cover our time and casting materials.
​
Please call or email if you would like to arrange an appointment, find out more about what we do, or discuss an idea for a commission. We look forward to hearing from you.
After reviewing samples and once you have decided on which medium you would like, casts of your baby’s hands or feet (or both) are taken using a casting liquid. The liquid is perfectly safe for babies and children and captures every intricate and unique detail of their hands and feet. The whole casting process only takes a few minutes.
Our Story
​
Zoe Green Casting took over the casting division of Philippa Herbert in 2023 to enable Philippa Herbert to focus solely on their signature line of jewellery.
​
Company founder Zoe Green says: ''Having trained and worked with Philippa Herbert Ltd for several years, it was an easy decision to take over the casting business when the opportunity presented. Working with Philippa Herbert has been an immense pleasure and I feel incredibly grateful to have been trained by such a lovely and creative team.''
''Coming from a creative background after studying at Ravensbourne and gaining my degree affiliated by The Royal College of Art in Fashion and Textiles (a rather long time ago now), it’s wonderful to be working with my hands sculpting and creating such beautiful and individual pieces of personal art. Being a mother of 2 growing children myself, I fully appreciate how quickly time passes and how important it is to capture those beautiful first memories.''
​
''We love what we do at Zoe Green Casting and feel it is a privilege to work with such lovely families. Helping them to create lasting memories of the most important times in their lives.''
''We work with the best craftsman and suppliers, we know they produce only quality workmanship, and they know our precise standards (where applicable our products bear British hallmarks to certify the precious metal used). We pride ourselves on trying to offer the very best, bespoke service we possibly can. Spending time with our clients, often in their homes, talking to them about what they want means that we’re able to create something unique to them which will endure and bring them joy for years to come. ''
