Now & Forever’s Online & Offline 2D & 3DHandcasting Training Program

Now & Forever’s 2D and 3D Handcasting workshops have earned worldwide recognition for a reason—we were the first in the world to start teaching this unique art form professionally. Our journey began in 2021, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. For months, we received countless messages from admirers of our work who were captivated by the fine detailing and finishing of our casts. They eventually insisted we teach them the art—and that’s how our training program was born.
We started with online workshops, welcoming participants from every corner of India, and quickly expanded to offline sessions as well. Our very first offline student, Saloni, flew all the way from Pune just to learn in person. Since then, up to April 2025, we’ve proudly trained 2,029 participants across 23 countries over the last four years.

Workshop Structure

Day 1: Theoretical Foundation

We begin with a full-fledged presentation that explains the process from A to Z.
Participants learn about material properties, ratios, time management, and impression techniques.
You’ll take your own hand impression on Day 1 to get hands-on experience with material behavior and achieving 100% flawless results.
At Now & Forever, our standard is to capture impressions (whether baby, couple, or family) within 5 to 10 minutes, respecting both the artist’s and client’s time.

Day 2: Practical Application

Participants create casts under expert supervision, exploring different concepts and compositions.
We cover the refinement process, perfect finishing, professional painting techniques, and methods to achieve a flawless, “everlasting” look.
You’ll also learn what containers to use, how to handle different sizes, and how to manage delicate impressions.
We emphasize troubleshooting, sharing the mistakes we made during our journey so you can avoid them—because knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.
