Learn How to Create 3D Baby Memorial Castings — UK & International Training
Professional Training in Compassionate Memorial Keepsakes, Wherever You Are
Discover the delicate art of 3D baby memorial castings with specialist training tailored for healthcare professionals, funeral directors, and keepsake artists worldwide. Drawing on over 20 years’ experience, I guide you in crafting meaningful, high-quality 3D tributes that offer comfort to grieving families.
Why 3D Baby Memorial Castings Matter
Each year in the UK alone, more than 2,500 stillbirths and 3,000 neonatal deaths occur. In such heartbreaking moments, families often seek something tangible to hold onto. That’s why a professional 3D hand or foot casting becomes a treasured, lasting tribute. Memorial keepsakes provide healing, connection, and peace. I have supported families from diverse backgrounds — some working within tight budgets, others creating memorials years after their loss. Each keepsake reflects the family’s unique story.

Real Stories: Why This Training Matters
Daisy, founder of Single Yellow Rose #TeamBelle, had been creating keepsakes through her charity. However, she sought professional training to offer bereaved families the quality they deserve.
“Can’t thank you enough for my day with you. You taught me this amazing art and listened to my story — that meant everything.” — Daisy
Her charity improves bereavement rooms and preserves memories, showing how this training supports many families beyond just the craft itself.

More Than Just a Course
Because this work can’t be rushed, I offer pre-course consultations, bespoke training, and ongoing support. I train professionals from across the UK — Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland — and overseas.
Furthermore, I collaborate with baby loss charities and hospitals working with limited budgets. Every family deserves a keepsake, regardless of their finances.
A Lasting Impact
Once, a client brought me fragile plaster casts made by someone untrained. I carefully preserved them, then transformed them into bronze keepsakes to hold ashes. These pieces bring peace and warmth to her home.
Professional training transforms fragile memories into lasting tributes.
