Unfortunately, on April 28, 2024, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a serious blood and bone marrow cancer.
This diagnosis requires me to undergo chemotherapy and stay in the hospital for the next 6-8 months, possibly longer. As a result, I must close the business temporarily to focus on my health and I am unlikely to be able to respond to any messages or emails.
Consequently, I will no longer be offering courses or starter kits for sale. However, existing customers who have purchased courses within the past 12 months can still access them using the link below, with the email address and password they used during enrollment.

Preserving Precious Moments: 3D Baby Hand and Foot Casting Courses
3D baby hand and foot casting is a heartwarming way to immortalize the tiny, delicate hands and feet of your little ones while they're still in their infancy. These miniature sculptures, capturing a moment in time, can be proudly displayed on nursery walls, serving as a constant reminder of just how small and precious your baby once was. Many parents, inspired by the beauty of these creations, contemplate delving into the world of 3D baby casting, either as a passion project or with the intention of establishing a successful Life Casting Business.
At The Craft Ecademy, we offer a diverse array of Life Casting Courses, catering to beginners and those seeking advanced life casting techniques. From 3D baby hand and foot casting to Couples Hand Casting, and the mastery of more intricate methods like Resin Casting and Metal Cold Casting, our life casting courses encompass a wide spectrum of skills and artistic expressions.
For those yearning to offer something unique, we present a course in Hands and Feet Entwined Casting, which among other casting techniques teaches you how to capture the endearing Palmar grasp, a reflex where a baby's entire hand instinctively wraps around an object or person's finger when it touches their palm. As this reflex typically diminishes after about six months, it's an excellent opportunity to capture this adorable gesture before it vanishes forever!
But why limit your creativity to just 3D baby casting? Involve the entire family in a casting of interlaced hands, a poignant representation of unity and love. This could encompass parents and siblings or even include grandparents, creating a beautiful family heirloom.
Here are some common questions that people often ask about our Life Casting Courses:
1. Can I Learn Online? Yes, you can! We understand the importance of flexibility in learning, which is why all of our life-casting courses are available online. This flexibility ensures that you can embark on your casting journey at your own pace and convenience.
2. Will I Need Any Special Equipment? Our starter kits, available for purchase online, contain all the necessary equipment and tools you'll require to get started. We've carefully curated these kits to streamline the learning process.
3. I've Tried Home Kits, but It Hasn't Worked. What Am I Doing Wrong? Casting can be a delicate process that demands a keen understanding of techniques and materials. Without proper guidance, common issues like broken fingers, air bubbles, or watermarks can arise. Our life casting courses are designed to equip you with the expertise needed to produce top-quality casts.
4. Can You Make a Profitable Business from Baby Casting? Absolutely. Many individuals develop an interest in life-casting courses after experiencing the magic of having their own baby's casts created. Life Casting is a cost-effective business to launch, making it an attractive option for those looking for a career change post-parenthood. It allows for flexibility and profit generation while working around your family's schedule.
