Exhibiting at Ad Lib Gallery from 27 March 2025 - click here for more info

It was Katy’s inspiring mother Sue, who first learned the casting technique during an afternoon workshop in London with Rachel Dein. What began as a personal project to capture the beauty of her own stunning garden in Fife has flourished over the past four years.

Imprint Casts was born from an increasing demand from friends and family for her botanical tiles. In 2020, the business was passed on to new hands, and it is now managed entirely—from making and sales to marketing and everything in between—with the occasional final approval still required from Sue, the matriarch of the operation.

A passionate gardener, Sue has transformed a converted cattle shed in Fife into a flourishing garden, which serves as a key source of inspiration and materials for Imprint Casts. Her extensive plant knowledge plays a vital role in the process, with many of the flowers used in the casts coming directly from this carefully nurtured space.

Her work is currently based in a studio in Edinburgh, with frequent trips back to Fife to gather beautiful flowers from Sue’s garden. Plans are in place to establish a studio in Fife as part of a steading designed by Sue and her husband, both architects, surrounded by the remarkable garden she has cultivated over the past 25 years. Without Sue’s vision and dedication, Imprint Casts would not exist. The business looks forward to creating special casts and sharing this passion with others.
