About Us
So, who are Copycast Studios and where did it all begin? Take a look at the timeline below to see our journey...
​
2005
Dean & Natalie made the first mould of their newborn baby's foot in their kitchen using some leftover body-casting material that Dean was using for a replica movie prop project. After copies are given to relatives, positive feedback sparks a new business idea.

With research and a business plan, Dean & Natalie stumble across a vacant shop at Hatton Country World.
Copycast Studios opens it's first premises in April 2006, leaving their salaried careers behind.

The future...
With the outbreak of COVID-19, it's clear that the way we interact with each other and shop will change forever. Therefore, we'll adapt and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to create a beautiful keepsake of their own with more and more DIY casting kits and socially-distanced casting sessions.
We have lots of ideas too big to put on here, but make sure that you keep up to date by clicking one of the social links at the top of this page and connecting with us!
