Decorated Breast Cast

Breast Casting


Our most recent endeavor is conducting a breast casting workshop, allowing women on campus the chance to celebrate their various body shapes through a creative outlet.  It is an empowering opportunity for women to be comfortable in their own bodies and share that feeling with other women.  Proceeds from previous workshops went to benefit foundations working to end breast cancer and violence against women.

Comments from past participants about the experience:

  • "I felt beautiful!  It was such an awesome experience and it allowed me to truly celebrate my body and allow others into my personal space."
  • "It made me realize that bodies are different, and to feel comfortable in the way that I appear."
  • "It is empowering to bare your body in a purely celebratory context."
  • "I've never been comfortable with my body, so it was really liberating for me to feel okay with my shirt off."
  • "I felt like a woman, sexy, free, and without apologies."
