3D Casting Training After 50: Donna’s Inspiring Journey
Learning new skills after 50 can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve tried before and things didn’t work out. Donna, who runs The Little Pottery Barn at Farrington Farm, knew this well. For over a year, she was curious about specialist 3D casting training but felt nervous to start. Having made common mistakes before, she wasn’t sure if she could succeed. However, when she finally took the leap and trained with me, her confidence grew steadily throughout the day. By the end, her relief and pride were clear.
Just yesterday, Donna shared on her business Facebook page an amazing cast of an adult holding a baby’s hand — a tricky project that many find difficult to perfect. Seeing her post made me smile; this is exactly what learning new skills after 50 looks like in action. Donna’s story reminds us all that it’s never too late to master something new.
Embracing New Skills After 50: My Story and Mentoring Offer
I’m 55 and have run Precious Memories for over 21 years. I’ve raised two daughters, aged 21 and 18, who watch me build a business, learn new skills, and persevere through ups and downs. I hope they see that there’s no deadline on passion or purpose.
If you feel drawn toward a new skill, a fresh dream, or a different path, you don’t need to be 25 to be brave — you just have to be willing. When you are, amazing things happen.
I offer specialist 3D casting training for beginners and advanced learners, alongside business mentoring tailored to women over 50. Whether you want to develop your craft or build your business, I’m here to help you make it happen.
