Beginners Jewellery Wax Carving and Finishing Course: Part 1 Experience Melbourne

Learn how to make jewellery using the lost wax carving method



2 x 2.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests

  $290 - $490 (Afterpay available)
($290 for Per person -public dates only; $490 for Per person- private tuition price for requested sessions)

Using the ancient method of lost wax casting, in this two-part course, you will learn to carve wax rings, embellish them and have them cast as well as master finishing and polishing techniques.
The aim of this course is for you to come away with at least one finished ring, and either a finished second ring or one that you can finish at home.
Over two sessions, everyone will make the same style ring. This is to make sure you all pick up the same skills and finish off at least one piece. With no more than 10 students per class, you will receive plenty of group and one-to-one guidance throughout the course.
Unlike other classes, where they will finish your work off for you, you will learn these valuable skills here yourself so that you can repeat the process at home.
Once complete, you can book into part two of this course, where you will concentrate on your own designs and creations using all available waxes.

My name is Eran Naylor and I am a self taught goldsmith, designer and teacher. I have my own label, a working studio in Melbourne and also run a jewellery school with in person classes and online jewellery classes. I started making jewellery over 25 years ago and have progressed from there as creating jewellery became more and more of a passion
I started off beading gemstones and wire wrapping jewellery pieces to saw piercing and then onto lost wax carving work, teaching myself and learning to solder along the way. I am proof that you can make it on your own and work it out as you go but I made a lot of mistakes along the way with no internet or short classes available today and I aim to help you avoid those same mistakes and give you a good solid base for making jewellery with wax.
I started teaching eight years ago after helping a few friends with their skills and realised how much I have to offer, especially in lost wax carving. Over a thousand students later, I have expanded the course range and now offer you these online jewellery courses to practice at home anywhere in the world at your own pace.
I continue to work now as a bespoke goldsmith and miss the days when I could just sit for hours playing with wax. This is the best way to learn. I find that teaching and helping others makes up for my personal lack of creative time now and is so enjoyable that it more gives back. All of my students know that I love nothing more than talking jewellery and am always available to help.
I hope that you enjoy your journey and I would be honoured to be a part of that along the way.
