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.
Our training program is comprehensive and business-focused, aimed at helping participants build their own successful handcasting ventures.
