Award-Winning Baby Memorial Casting Training

Baby Memorial Casting Training – Award-Winning Professional Keepsake Courses

Professional Baby Memorial Casting Training with Over 20 Years’ Experience

With more than two decades of hands-on experience, I am an award-winning specialist in baby memorial casting. At Precious Memories, I have dedicated my career to perfecting this delicate art. I’ve trained alongside and worked with funeral directors, bereavement charities, hospitals, and families to create truly meaningful keepsakes. My approach combines technical skill with empathy, ensuring every casting honours the precious memory it represents.

Creating memorial keepsakes is a deeply meaningful service, especially when it involves babies who have sadly passed. Many casts are made in plaster by people without formal training. For example, a client came to me with original plaster casts created by someone untrained. Respecting their wishes, I carefully preserved these precious keepsakes as they were. I then transformed the plaster originals into a beautiful pair of bronze casts designed to hold ashes — a lasting, warm memorial. This experience underscores the importance of professional baby memorial casting training to ensure families receive the highest quality keepsakes made with skill and care.

Why Choose My Baby Memorial Casting Training?

Daisy, founder of the charity Single Yellow Rose #TeamBelle, came to me for this reason. Although she was already creating keepsakes through her charity, she wanted professional training to ensure the highest quality for families who have experienced baby loss. Daisy’s story is a powerful reminder of why this work matters so much.

“Can’t thank you enough for my day with you, not only did you teach me this amazing art but you listened and asked questions about my story which mean more to me than anyone will ever know. Thank you for the support and amazing experience xx” — Daisy

The Single Yellow Rose #TeamBelle charity was created in memory of Daisy’s beautiful sleeping beauty Belle, stillborn at 35 weeks in 2017. The charity supports bereaved families by making hospital bereavement rooms more comforting. They supply outfits, printing equipment for hand and footprints, and more to help families treasure their memories. Their goal is to create homely spaces, develop memory gardens, and break the silence surrounding baby loss. (You can learn more and support their work here: Single Yellow Rose #TeamBelle Facebook.)

3D Casting Training with Student from India

Over two days, Trisha focused on mastering the art of 3D baby casting, covering the first two levels of training. Babies of all ages visited the studio, giving her hands-on practice with real clients—essential for learning lifecasting techniques. This experience helped build confidence while teaching the foundational skills needed to create beautiful baby hand and foot castings.

Practical training is at the heart of this 3D casting course, ensuring students gain the knowledge to start their own keepsake business. By the end of the workshop, Trisha had the skills to produce high-quality, professional keepsakes that families will treasure forever.

2D Impression One Day Course

On the third day, Trisha delved into the art of 2D impressions, using clay to create raised plaster tiles. By pressing a baby’s hand or foot into soft clay, she captured intricate details, turning them into a lasting keepsake. While this technique may seem simple at first glance, mastering it requires precision to ensure every finger and toe is perfectly formed.

As the day progressed, it became clear how these mini memories are a fantastic addition for anyone looking to expand their keepsake business. Offering personalised baby handprints and footprints can provide clients with a truly unique and meaningful keepsake, enhancing the variety of services you can offer.

Family Handcasting Course

For the final part of training, Trisha learned advanced 3D family handcastings, including techniques for creating linked arms and family tree castings. Family handcastings can be free-standing or wall-hung, while family tree castings are framed, offering versatile display options. Despite jet lag, cold, and language barriers, Trisha made the most of every minute of her training.

Since returning to India, Trisha has launched her own keepsake business, specialising in family handcastings and family tree castings. She even shared her positive experience in a glowing review on my Facebook page.

Review of 3D Casting workshop with Student from India

“The 3D, 2D, and family casting training at Precious Memories was truly exceptional,” said Trisha. “I’m so glad I chose Precious Memories over other training providers. Not only did I learn valuable techniques, but I also practised on real baby clients, which made the experience so much more meaningful.

“Although I travelled from India and the journey was long, it was 100% worth it! By the end of the training, every effort I made felt completely worthwhile. Glenda is an incredible teacher. Her natural ability to guide and support students made all the difference. Her expert instruction gave me confidence and clarity at every stage.

“I’m so excited to return home and start my own baby keepsake business. I hope to make Glenda proud with the work I’ll create. If you’re considering a career in this beautiful craft, I highly recommend Glenda’s 3D casting training at Precious Memories—no matter where you’re from.

“The personalised teaching, hands-on experience, and supportive environment are second to none. It’s a truly complete lifecasting course.”

As a bonus, staying in Dorset added something special. The peaceful scenery, relaxed pace, and friendly atmosphere made it the perfect place to learn. Whether you’re from the UK or overseas, this casting workshop in the UK is an experience worth travelling for!

I can’t wait to see Trisha’s progress in the coming months and know her new adventure will be a huge success.
