3D Casting Course Dorset – Hands-On Training with Business Mentoring
Looking for a 3D Casting Course in Dorset tailored to you? I’m Glenda – founder of Precious Memories, mum of two, mentor, and memory-maker. With over 20 years of award-winning experience in 3D casting, I’ve helped students across the UK and beyond build flexible, creative keepsake businesses from home.
Whether you’re brand new to casting, reigniting your creativity, or dreaming of self-employment, I’ll guide you step by step with practical tuition and personal mentoring.
This course isn’t just about technique — it’s about creating heartfelt keepsakes that families treasure forever.
Why Choose This 3D Casting Course in Dorset?
Group workshops can be overwhelming. My one-to-one 3D casting course is different — calm, focused, and all about you. Set your pace, ask questions freely, and learn in a relaxed, supportive environment.
No need for artistic experience. Just bring your enthusiasm — I’ll show you the rest. If it’s been a while since you’ve felt creative, this is a great place to start again.
Structured, Bespoke Training Designed Around You
My 3D casting course is thoughtfully structured to cover all the essential skills you need, delivered over three focused days. But what truly makes it stand out is the bespoke approach I take with every student.
No two learners are the same — that’s why I personalise the pace, techniques, and guidance to fit your unique learning style and experience. This means you get practical, hands-on tuition that suits you perfectly, so you build confidence and mastery without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Unlike other courses that offer one-size-fits-all group sessions or rigid kits, I believe in empowering you with knowledge, skills, and ongoing support — helping you become a confident artist and successful business owner.

What You’ll Learn in the 3D Casting Course
This hands-on course is split into easy-to-follow sessions with regular breaks and personal guidance.
Days 1 & 2 – Baby Castings & Handclasps
Discover the magic of baby keepsakes:
Take accurate hand and foot impressions using real baby models
Practise and perfect baby handclasps – a timeless favourite for parents
Explore framing, colour finishes, and design ideas
Learn how to troubleshoot common problems
Optionally practise pet paw prints — ideal if you love dogs
By the end of Day 2, you’ll take home completed castings and feel confident practising at home.
Day 3 – Wall Castings & Milestone Keepsakes
Take your skills to the next level:
Create advanced castings that can be proudly displayed on the wall
Craft family tree sculptures from generational handprints
Capture sporting or performance milestones — such as a cricket ball held in hand or ballet shoes nearby
You’re welcome to return for this advanced day later when you feel ready.

This isn’t just about casting. You’ll also gain tools to build a business around your lifestyle:

Flexible Booking & Payment Options
I offer a simple payment plan:
Pay half to book your date

You can also book Day 3 separately once you’re ready.
This flexibility makes it easier to invest in your new creative career.
