Real skills people actually pay for, alongside flexible self-employment around family life.. Flexible self-employment around family life. Direct ongoing support throughout your journey.
One of the UK’s longest-established professional lifecasting studios, training students worldwide since 2004. I offer private 1:1 hand casting and lifecasting training for students from the UK and worldwide, including baby hand casting, 3D baby casting, family hand casting, pet casting, belly bump casting, memorial keepsakes, and advanced lifecasting techniques.
Every course is fully personalised and taught using real models that I arrange myself, so you gain real-world experience from day one.
Precious Memories began in 2004 when my children were small and I needed flexible work that actually fit family life. Over 20 years later, I still train every student personally and support them throughout their journey.
No pressure, no obligation — just a real conversation.
This professional baby hand casting and lifecasting training is ideal for parents, creatives, artists, photographers, therapists, nursery professionals, and anyone wanting to build a flexible creative business around family life.
In fact, many students arrive with no experience at all — just patience, creativity, and the desire to create meaningful work that families truly value.
Professional, client-led training designed for people who want to build a real, income-generating creative business. This is not a hobby workshop or generic online course — it is professional baby hand casting and lifecasting training built around real paying clients.
For over 20 years, I’ve trained students from the UK, USA, Europe, Australia, India, and beyond.
What makes it different:
Unlike group workshops, you are not observing — you are doing.
All aftercare and ongoing support is included at no extra cost. There are no time limits. Once you train with me, you can message me for help, advice, or reassurance for as long as you need — whether that’s months or years later.

This is a real client-based creative business.
Typical pricing:
Many students recover their training investment within their first few bookings.
What matters most is not just making the work — but understanding how to price, position, and present it so it actually sells.
That is where my 22+ years of real commercial experience makes the difference.
Because of this, I don’t just teach how to create casts — I teach what sells, how to build trust with clients, and how to generate consistent demand.
Training takes place in my private UK studio, with students travelling internationally from around the world.
Many students choose to combine training with a creative retreat experience and time away to focus fully on learning.
Full guidance is provided on accommodation, travel, and planning your visit.
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.
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 two decades 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.
Precious Memories has over 22 years of professional baby hand casting and lifecasting experience, with students travelling from around the world for private training.
