Birth in Bloom

Calling All Bellies!

Birth In Bloom is excited to offer our first Belly Casting workshop!

When: Sunday, October 25, 2009, 12:00pm

Where: Kerry's Home in Burke, Virginia

What's Belly Casting you ask??  Belly casting is a unique way to capture the exciting transformation of pregnancy in a full 3 dimensions! Join other mommies-to-be as we create a custom work of art using your beautiful belly that you will be able to treasure for years to come.

Belly casts are generally between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, but the choice is yours.  Using strips of plaster we will make exact replica of your pregnant belly, smoothing the strips in between layers and creating a strong cast that, once dry, can be left plain or decorated to your liking.

Cost for the workshop is $80 and includes all casting supplies, an idea sheet for decorating your cast at home and a customized label for the inside of your cast! 

Space is limited so sign up today for an afternoon that is sure to be full of smiles, laughs and a precious keepsake of your beautiful pregnant belly.

For more details or to register call Kerry at 703.855.1938 or email birthinbloom@gmail.com.
