Covid 19 - we are still casting....
CASTING KITS -BUT WITH A DIFFERENCE: many online companies provide kits whereby all the equipment is provided with a printed sheet of instructions, however these in our opinion can be misleading because they can often result in unsatisfactory products. The most difficult and time consuming part of casting is after the mould has been taken, which is obviously where First Treasures skill / experience comes in.
First Treasures ‘mould – only kits’, contain the equipment needed to make the mould, and include a zoom call whereby we remotely talk you through exactly how to take the mould live. Also included are packaging materials to send back the completed moulds to our studio. Once the zoom casting is complete, customers will be emailed a courier label for next day collection.
We then cast the plaster, do all the painstaking finishing / painting and framing of the casts so that our customers receive the highest quality casting possible. Turnaround time is 4-5 weeks. Further information will be provided about the collection of completed castings in light of Covid 19 restrictions.
Studio Reopening 12th April 2021
Following the announcment by the government on 22nd February 2021, non-essential retail can reopen from 12th April 2021.
First Treasures will once again be providing contact free castings from that date in the studio. Our booking system is open so please reserve your date quickly as I have no doubt April will be a very busy month! CLICK TO BOOK. (For those of you that would still prefer not to come to the studio, the very successful zoom castings will still be offered.)
About Us
Since opening in 2013, First Treasures has created over 2500 beautifully handcrafted framed and freestanding 3d hand and foot casts, handclasp sculptures and outprint tiles of all the family.
Once out of the mould, any imperfections are removed painstakingly by hand to ensure that each cast captures every last detail of the hands and feet; jewellery, finger nails, joints and palm lines are all clearly visible in each finished product.
First Treasures casting techniques are safe and gentle for children right from birth. All of our 3d casts and 2d outprint tiles are available in a variety of finishes, with a choice of 7 frame types and an infinite selection of mount colours and combinations, making each piece truly individual.
Our fingerprint jewellery range is made from pure silver, and it includes gorgeous necklaces, charms, key rings and cufflinks in various designs.
All major credit cards accepted. Gift Vouchers for castings are available and make perfect gifts for Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christenings.

"Love love love first treasures and Laura x I love Laura’s castings so much I have had 21 individual pieces made, from my daughters hands and feet castings at different ages, mine with my eldest, my daughters hands together, my husbands hand with our youngest as well as hand/feet impressions and I love every single one of them and it is so lovely to have the reminder of how small they once were. Laura is lovely and welcoming and is so patient especially if you are like me and don’t always know what you want exactly. I love them so much I don’t mind travelling to get them done and would recommend first treasures to anyone."

"Laura casted our daughters hand and foot when she was 3 weeks old in a beautiful frame with engraving. It’s so precious to us and looks amazing. She was lovely and welcoming and kept us updated with the making of it. We went back 8 months later to have some special Christmas keepsakes presents made for grandparents. We had 4 hand print tree baubles made and a globe with her hand casting inside. These went down really well with the grandparents and will be treasured forever. Also a really reasonable price point! I’m sure we will see Laura again. Definitely recommend."

"Absolutely love my frame - had my 4 week old baby girls hand and feet cast for a ‘love’ frame. Laura was happy to accommodate my requests for the start and the end result is everything I wanted. Was able to easily pick a time that suited me for the appointment with the booking app and my frame was ready ahead of time. Friendly efficient service and cheaper than other companies. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about having something done - the only problem would be making a decision if you don’t know what you would like as it looks so good you will love it all."
