Why This Training Is Unique

This is the only dedicated 1:1 raised tile training course in the UK. You learn in a calm, purpose‑built studio, and I tailor every step to your experience and confidence level.

The day is fully hands‑on. You create professional tiles using babies, toddlers and pets, and you can explore botanical or coastal impressions if you wish. As a result, leave feeling confident, capable and ready to offer this service immediately.

I keep spaces limited so you receive personal guidance throughout.

Why Families and Pet Owners Love Raised Tiles

Raised tiles have a gentle, artistic quality that appeals to a wide range of clients. They offer a timeless, handcrafted look that suits any home and sit beautifully alongside other keepsakes. Many families prefer the softer, classic style of a raised impression, and this technique allows you to create pieces that feel warm, subtle and elegant.

In addition, you can offer creative variations such as botanical or coastal textures, which gives you a versatile product that suits different tastes and styles.

What You’ll Learn

During your training, I guide you through the complete process from start to finish. You prepare the clay, take clean and detailed impressions, work confidently with babies, toddlers and pets, and pour and finish tiles to a professional standard. You can also explore creative variations such as botanical or coastal impressions if you wish.

Alongside the practical skills, you learn how to price your work, present your products professionally and source reliable materials. You leave with a completed raised tile, a clear workflow to follow at home, supplier recommendations and lifetime aftercare support.

Who This Course Suits

This training suits anyone who wants to work creatively or professionally with families and pets. Many parents choose this course as a flexible home‑based business. It is also popular with photographers, childminders, early years practitioners, dog groomers, pet professionals, artists, crafters, ceramicists, pottery studios, tattoo artists, gift shops and creative service providers.

Whether you are starting fresh or adding a new service, this course equips you to offer a complete, professional product.

A Skill With Endless Possibilities

Many students choose raised tiles because they enjoy the calm, tactile nature of the work and the creative freedom it offers. Others use the techniques to expand their existing business or to explore botanical and coastal impressions.

One of my students, Josie from Sentimental Castings, began her journey with this training in Dorset. She now creates botanical, coastal and 3D impression artwork inspired by the nature of the south of England. Her story shows how this course can become the beginning of a unique and rewarding creative path.
