Since the launch of my smaller botanical casting kit in 2023, I have often been asked if I can produce a kit that makes a bigger cast. I’m delighted that after much experimenting and sourcing of a frame, I have finally managed to produce this new kit which makes a big 19cm square cast for you to make your very own piece of art.
 
The kit contains everything you need to make a 19cm square cast and includes an 8” plastic plate stands to display your finished cast. The only thing you need is some kitchen scales and water and your own imagination!
 
Each kit contains: Non-toxic air-dry clay, Crystacal-R Plaster, Plastic cast ‘frame’, a wooden rolling pin, 1 x mixing bowl, a wooden stirrer and an 8” plate stand as well as full instructions on how to get the best results from your kit.
 
The clay is non-toxic air-dry clay and is safe for children to handle, but it is recommended you do not roll clay onto surfaces that are used to prepare food.
 
The casting plaster is a product called Crystacal R. It is made up of a very fine powder – please be careful when using it and ensure you do not inhale the powder. When the plaster is mixed, it can become hot. If you get mixed plaster on your hands, ensure you wash it off with cold water immediately.
 
Ensure that children are closely supervised when around the plaster both in powder and mixed form. It is recommended that you do not let children come into contact with the plaster and that an adult prepares and pours the plaster when casting.
 
If you’ve enjoyed making your casts and would like to re-use your kit to make more casts, you can purchase my large Botanical Casting Refill Kits, which include enough clay and plaster to make another cast from your kit
