Hi, I'm Mana, founder of Lulu Dré Atelier! I'm the head artist, a modern-day blacksmith, a worldwide Tetris champion (don't ask), and a person who is irrationally jealous of babies with obnoxiously long eyelashes. I am also Lulu Dré's auntie, who is the original bump I lovingly captured by advanced 3D scanning technology and transformed into a sculpture in 2024, so it was only fitting I named my studio after baby Lulu.

​

I've always been fascinated by the concept of capturing a moment in time - photography; noting down a thought before it becomes fleeting; a special memory which eventually retains a permanent spot in your mind. I first discovered this modern art form in Europe and am thrilled to give mums-to-be in Australia the opportunity to capture their own bump in this unique and innovative way.​​

Community Fund​

​

Lulu Dré Atelier believes every mum-to-be should have the opportunity to celebrate and preserve the beauty of her pregnancy - regardless of financial circumstances.

​

As part of our commitment to giving back, we regularly offer complimentary pregnancy sculpture experiences to expectant mothers who are experiencing financial constraints and would otherwise be unable to access our service.

 

How it works:​

​

A portion of proceeds from every sculpture created is contributed to a dedicated community fund. Once the fund reaches its threshold, we will share a date range on our social media channels during which a complimentary sculpture session will be offered.

 

Mums-to-be who are facing financial difficulty are warmly invited to enter their name into the draw. One recipient will be selected at random and gifted a full sculpture experience at no cost.

 

This initiative is our way of honouring the strength and uniqueness of every pregnancy journey - and ensuring that more mums-to-be have access to this meaningful keepsake.
