Frequently Asked Questions
-
Botanical Casts made using the imprint of flowers and foliage - everlasting botanical impressions.
-
I mix recycled tester ports to the desired tone and carefully paint around the imprint of the flowers. It can be a very fiddly job and it takes up to 3 layers of paint to create a smooth coating.

All ready-made items available on the webship will be shipped within 2 - 7 days of the order being received. I try to ship most orders within 1 week but sometimes if I am installing a show or away on a residency it may take longer. Most made-to-order items take 8- 12 weeks depending on the complexity of the art.

Unfortunately it is unlikely I will be able to get your flowers back to us within 72 hours of your foreign wedding. However I can recreate your bouquet by sourcing identical flowers for a small fee and cast these. Whilst they might not be the flowers you held on your big day, the cast will still represent the flowers that helped make your day special. Please get in touch on imprintcasts@gmail.com and I will see what I can do.

Yes absolutely! Currently I have pieces with a few different stockists. As a one woman show I am not able to supply a huge amount of stockists as I don’t have time to produce the stock alongside working on my own webshop collection and commissions. Please check out my stockists/gallerists page to see the other lovely stores and galleries that stock my casts. Please get in touch if you are an interior designer or stockist who wants to work with me

My mum has created the most incredible garden at our home in Fife. Both my parents are architects and developed a farm steading when my sisters and I were young. They turned a concrete cattle court into a walled garden and mum has created little slice of paradise filled with fabulous borders brimming with unusual flowers, many of which have been grown from seed. The garden has grown slowly over the last 20 years with mum taking over more sections of the grounds around the steading and transforming our home into a botanical wonderland. Many of the more unusual plants in our garden are from my grandmothers impressive garden in Northern Ireland. Some of the plants in the garden have been collected on my parents various travels, with mum hiding stashing seeds in her suitcase and propagating them in our greenhouse. Almost all of the plants I use for casting come from our garden, and the daffodils and bluebells grow in the woodland my parents planted 20 years ago. If customers are looking for bespoke casts with flowers we do not grow ourselves then I usually head to a one of ours favourite Edinburgh florists.

Shipping starts at £2.50 for orders within the UK and increases depending on the weight of your package. I usually ship with the Royal Mail however I sometimes use other couriers for International and European orders if they offer a better service. I will always send tracking with your order and let you know which courier I have used. International and European shipping rates start at £10.

If you any reason you are not happy with your cast please get in touch via imprintcasts@gmail.com to discuss and I hope we can find a resolution. If you want to go ahead with a return then the casts should be returned in perfect condition within 30 days of purchase. As a small business I cannot not refund postage and unfortunately will not refund any orders that arrive back damaged or unsalable. Bespoke casts are non refundable but I will always try to find a solution if you are not happy with your bespoke cast.

I ship within the UK, to most counties in Europe (please note this has become complicated since good old Brexit kicked in so if you are a European customer you may incur fees and taxes on your end when the parcel arrives, sorry and I wish there was something I could do but such is the Brexit way of life), Australia, Canada and America. International shipping starts at £15 for smaller pieces and increases significantly for larger pieces. Please note I am not responsible for covering the cost of any customs charges.

Oh no, I hate when this happens! Please contact me immediately at imprintcasts@gmail.com. I will either send out a replacement (free of charge) or offer you a credit note or refund.
