precious memories
I offer private hand casting courses across the UK — baby casting,
family handclasps, pet casting, belly bump and memorial lifecasting,
all taught with real models I arrange myself. Every hand casting
course is one-to-one, built entirely around you, with 22 years of
real commercial experience behind every session.
Precious Memories started in 2004 when my children were small and I
needed something flexible that worked around family life. I still
train every student personally, still arrange every model, and still
answer every WhatsApp myself. If you are serious about learning
properly, you are in the right place.
No pressure, no obligation — just a friendly chat about what you are hoping to do.
For over two decades, I’ve set the benchmark for professional lifecasting in the UK, with students travelling from Norway, India, the USA, Australia, Germany, Tanzania and beyond.
Whether you’re transitioning from a corporate career, seeking a flexible business as a parent, or expanding your creative brand, my courses are tailored entirely to you.
Unlike group workshops, my 1-on-1 training gives you my full attention, so you can learn every technique to a professional standard.
When you train with real babies, in a private setting, with someone who has 22 years of real commercial experience behind every piece of guidance — it shows in your work from day one.
Here is how Precious Memories compares.

Investment and Earnings Potential after attending my hand casting courses UK
This is a low-overhead, high-reward industry.
Typical earnings include:
Many students recover their training investment within their first few bookings. I’ll help you position your brand as a luxury service that attracts high-value clients.
My studio is based in beautiful Dorset, easily accessible from London, Bristol and Bournemouth airports. I provide a curated list of local accommodation and travel advice. Many students turn their training into a relaxing study‑retreat, often bringing family to enjoy the Jurassic Coast.
I never imagined I could turn a creative hobby into a real business — but with Glenda’s patient mentoring, I now work around my family and earn doing something I love. — Amy, So Cherished UK
Travelling all the way from Tanzania was honestly so worth it. Knowing she is always there if I need support gives me so much confidence — and honestly, no amount of money can pay for that kind of ongoing care. — Keepsakes by Salma, Tanzania
Glenda was absolutely amazing. We came away feeling much more confident and quite emotional that we were able to create such beautiful pieces for families going through the hardest times. — Chloe, Children’s Hospice
Do I need experience? No — most students arrive as complete beginners and leave ready to work with real clients. I arrange all models myself so you practise on real babies, pets and families from day one. All you need is patience and an eye for detail.
Is the support really for life? Yes — genuinely. You can WhatsApp or email me anytime, for as long as you need, completely free. Students who trained years ago still message me — not just with casting questions but with the harder ones about running a business. I am always there.
What if i need to split my training? There is no set route through the courses. You can do one day and nothing else, come back months later for more, or combine several courses in one visit. Training is arranged entirely around your schedule and what you want to build.
Will I learn how to get clients? Yes — every course includes guidance on pricing, where to find clients, and how to build a business that works around your life. I only teach skills that families and professionals actually want to pay for, tested over 22 years.
Can I keep the work I make? Yes — everything you create during training is yours to take home. I also send comprehensive notes, photos and videos from the day, and my exclusive 22-year trade supplier list with discount codes.
How far do your students travel? My students travel from Norway, India, Tanzania, Germany, Cyprus, Ireland, Jersey and Los Angeles to train here. I provide personal guidance on accommodation, travel and payment via Wise for all international students.
