We have found a place in Liverpool that can freeze precious moments in your life and make memories that last a lifetime. Hope Street Casting Studio in Liverpool specialise in helping families treasure life’s beautiful moments by creating personalised stone sculptures.
We were invited to their city-center studio to try out this amazing service for ourselves. Rana and her daughter Florence, from the Unlock Liverpool team took the opportunity to spend some family time together and create something that would reflect their strong mother and daughter bond.
Located on Hope Street in Liverpool, Hope Street Casting Studio offers Liverpool Family Casting along with Memorial Casting. This unique and precious service provides families with a personalised tribute to a special time in their life or something to remember a loved one by. We were warmly welcomed by Angela who explained the process and what they offer in more detail.
The sculpture can be uniquely designed by you, or the team at the studio can help you to create a design that reflects your emotional bond and relationship. Often families choose to cast their hands, either holding each hand in a circle to reflect the bond or placing hands on-top of the other to symbolize a family generation by generation. This type of casting is becoming increasingly popular among Liverpool families who wish to welcome a new-born baby into a family and cast their adorable little feet or hands. This also makes a beautiful gift to send to family and friends.
The memorial casting service, offered by Hope Street Casting Studio is something we’ve not come across before, but think is a remarkable way to honor the passing of a loved one. This is often a sensitive and sad time in someone’s life but this service allows you to preserve your love and remember the strong bond you shared by creating a beautiful hand stone sculpture together.
The process is simple and non-invasive and provides a high-level of realism. Not only do you cast your hands, but the team will also collect fingerprints, make note of moles, freckles and scars to ensure the sculpture is accurate and lifelike. A three dimensional sculpture like this, can help during the grieving process, after a loved one has passed, as it can be held, touched and provides a constant reminder of the love you shared.
This is a fantastic and unique experience and we would recommend to young families who want to remember their baby’s little feet or hands or for those who want to create a unique memory of their family that will last a lifetime.
