Student Success Story: Ping from Norway
In June 2019, Ping from Norway, a mum of two with a husband who worked away frequently, trained with me at Precious Memories. Leaving her airline career behind, she wanted a flexible, meaningful creative career that could work around her family life.
Over two intensive days, she learnt:
Accurate baby hand and foot castings
Baby handclasps, plus framing, colour finishing, and marketing/social media guidance
Troubleshooting common casting challenges
3D pet paw prints
Ping embraced every challenge and practised diligently. Later, she returned for advanced training, covering family hand castings and 2D raised footprint tiles, showing the flexibility of my courses to meet evolving student needs.
Today, her business Minnestudio, based in Norway, is thriving internationally, with beautifully framed keepsakes and a growing reputation.
“Training with Glenda gave me the skills, techniques, and business guidance to launch my own successful keepsake business from home. Her hands-on mentorship and expert support made all the difference.” – Ping, Norway
Students from hospitals, charities, pet bereavement services, and funeral professionals also choose my courses, making them practical for both professionals and aspiring creatives alike.
