What makes this course unique

This is the only dedicated 1:1 raised tile training course in the UK. Not a module within a larger course, not a group workshop — a full day of private, hands-on tuition focused entirely on raised impression tiles, tailored to your experience and goals.

Raised tiles are one of the most popular keepsakes families ask for — beautiful, tactile, and lasting. They are quick to create, need no specialist equipment, and work perfectly as a standalone offering or alongside photography, baby classes, or other keepsakes. If you want to add a high-demand skill to your business without a large investment, this is it.

Looking for paw print tile training for pets? I offer a separate dedicated paw print course for that.

Why students travel to train here

• The UK’s only dedicated 1:1 raised tile training — there is nothing else like it
• Real babies, toddlers and families — no mannequins or practice boards
• Private, calm, confidence-building environment — just you and me
• 22+ years of hands-on experience
• Photos and short videos taken throughout the day — yours to keep
• Comprehensive notes so you can refer back to everything afterwards
• Trusted supplier list with exclusive trade discount codes
• Lifetime WhatsApp support — I’m here whenever you need me
• Fully tailored to your pace, experience, and goals

Perfect for baby-focused businesses

Raised tiles are ideal for anyone working with babies and young families. They take only a few minutes to create, fit naturally into an existing session, and give parents a beautiful, lasting keepsake without a long appointment. No ink, no paint, no mess — just a clean, gentle process that even the wriggliest babies cope with well.

Particularly well suited to:

• Baby sensory and development class leaders
• Baby massage and yoga practitioners
• Newborn and family photographers
• Antenatal teachers and doulas
• Early years settings and nurseries
• Gift shops and creative studios
• Home-based keepsake business owners

Many students combine this course with the 3D Casting Course to offer a complete keepsake service — tiles for quick sessions and 3D casts for families wanting something more substantial.

What you will learn

• Preparing clay and materials correctly — the most common source of problems
• Taking clean, detailed impressions of babies, toddlers and siblings
• How to support hands and feet correctly for the best results
• Pouring and finishing tiles to a professional standard
• Colour and framing techniques
• Pricing your work confidently and professionally
• Product presentation and packaging
• Workflow for home-based or studio practice

Common mistakes this course will fix

• Clay that is too soft or too firm — affects detail and finish
• Pressing too hard and distorting the impression
• Not supporting the hand or foot correctly
• Losing detail during smoothing
• Using the wrong tools for refining
• Uneven pouring or air bubbles
• Rushing the drying or curing stage

What students say

“I recently completed a 2D outprint course. So much to remember, but with the copious notes and videos provided I have an excellent reference point — as well as having Glenda to contact for advice. I am going to spend the next few months playing around with the techniques I learned and improving my work.”

— Sue, London

“I travelled all the way from Scotland as when looking online I felt Glenda had the best reviews. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the day and advised me on little things that will help me along the way. With all the help on the day and the information provided afterwards I feel I have all the tools to go forward.”

— Nicole, Scotland

“This was exactly what my business needed. The process is quick, gentle, and fits perfectly into my baby classes. Parents love that it only takes a few minutes and gives them a beautiful keepsake. I left feeling confident and excited to add this to my services.”

— Lisa, Scotland

“I travelled over 4 hours for my training and it was definitely worth it. Glenda was extremely patient and it’s obvious she genuinely wants all her trainees to succeed. I cannot recommend her enough.”

— Cheryl, Essex

“Glenda’s wealth of knowledge from 22 years’ experience is something to behold. She provides everything you need to set yourself up — formulas she has perfected, a supplier list, and tips on how to start your own business.”

— Julie, Scotland
