WELCOME TO IMPRINT CASTS BY KATY ECCLES, PRESERVING SEASONAL BOTANICAL MOMENTS.MADE BY HAND IN SCOTLAND

Hi, I’m Katy. Welcome to my botanical casting world.

I aim to capture the ephemeral, transient beauty of nature in my casts; giving permanent form to a fleeting moment in the natural world. Whether preserving wedding bouquets, funeral flowers or creating bespoke interior commissions, my casts capture the form of precious blooms and transform them into a bespoke artwork.
All my botanical casts are meticulously handcrafted using hand-selected flowers and foliage sourced from my mum’s wonderful garden - check out the garden page to see where the action happens.
