ALL HANDMADE specializes in the production of partial or full body life casts from either alginate or plaster bandage moulds. The moulding materials for producing a body cast are completely safe, the process takes approximately one hour and will create a stunning work of art. Partial or full body casts can be used for body armour pattern making, prosthetic applications and even mannequin design and fabrication.
The final casts are available in a range of materials including but not limited to:
Cold cast METAL finishes in BRONZE, COPPER, BRASS & IRON
Cold cast AGGREGATE finishes in MARBLE, SLATE & ONYX
Cold cast RESIN finishes in an almost limitless range of colours
Natural LEATHER or lead free PEWTER CASTS
Soft POLYURETHANE or SILICONE rubber bodies for stunt or prop use.

Detail of the Gaia torso sculpture.
The sculptures are made from hand-patinated nano-crystalline copper 300 to 500 microns thick which fully encapsulates a resin core into which the finest quality marine-grade stainless steel armatures have been fixed to facilitate extremely secure mounting of the sculptures for interior or outdoor installations. Limited edition bronze and cold cast resin sculptures are available to buy.

Costume mannequin created by ALL HANDMADE for body armour fabrication. A full body alginate mould was taken from model Louise Banks before the casting process.
Unlike many other life casts, this free standing figure has no external armature. Instead the full body is mounted on steel plates bolted onto the revolving base. The internal armature allows complete freedom to move and work around the figure.
This full body mannequin cast in silicone rubber was one of thirteen life-like mannequins designed and fabricated by ALL HANDMADE for PUMA AG INTERNATIONAL in association with GREGORY BONNER HALE. The mannequins were used as in store promotional advertising. A selection of both male and female mannequins were produced and shipped to stores in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, New York, Santa Monica, Tokyo and the Olympic Games in Athens. This is the male installation in AMSTERDAM with the two shop managers.
The final 'Carnaby Street' LONDON female installation made for PUMA AG INTERNATIONAL in association with GREGORY BONNER HALE, winner of the prestigious D&AD AWARD for 'Installations and Digital Media' in the Interactive and Digital Media category.

ALL HANDMADE uses traditional moulding and casting techniques to produce authentic casts in BRONZE, COPPER, BRASS and IRON.
ALL HANDMADE also uses the latest moulding and casting techniques to produce casts in ABS, PLASTAZOTE and CARBON FIBRE.
ALL HANDMADE produced this torso cast for the series 'SAY NO TO THE KNIFE' in association with SILVER RIVER TV for ITV3. The mould was taken and the black ONYX cast was delivered to the set within twelve hours.
ALL HANDMADE working in association with CJ Munn at ROCKABELLY LIFECASTS produced a series of full body life casts for artist SHARON BAKER. The moulds were later used to cast out the life size bread figures which featured in the 'EAT ME' exhibition at the South Bank summer festival in London.
The final bread figure moulded by ALL HANDMADE in association with CJ Munn at ROCKABELLY LIFECASTS. The exhibition was an enormous success and the bread figure was consumed by the general public.
