What Happens at the Pop-Up

  • We’ll take a gentle mould of your baby’s hand or foot using natural, skin-safe alginate.

  • While you relax with a coffee, we’ll start the first stage by pouring wax into the mould on-site.

  • Back in our studio, your piece is carefully cast in archival-quality crystal glass through a multi-stage process:

    • Wax mould is removed and a  plaster cast is made

    • A refractory mould is built around the wax

    • The wax is steamed out, leaving space for molten glass

    • The kiln heats to 800°C over 3–4 days

    • The glass is cold-worked, polished, and finished

    • Your keepsake will be ready to collect in two-four weeks from Me2U Baby Boutique.

What You’ll Receive:

  • One luminous crystal casting (hand or foot, your choice)

  • A plaster mould you can paint or decorate at home

  • The option to customise colours (extra cost, available on request)

  • An archival-quality cast that can be used for future copies

Practical Details:

  • You are welcome to bring an assistant to help hold baby during the casting + support people to make it a fun whanau time
