What you'll do

Join friendly and experienced teacher, Eran Naylor and learn how to use soft waxes to make jewellery models by Lost wax carving in these two beginner-friendly on-demand courses. One course covers the pink wax and the other the brown wax.

Once you have paid for the class, your teacher will independently send you a link to the online course. Notes: please allow a few hours for this to happen - though generally it might only take 20 mins.

Using the wax carving technique, you start with a piece of wax and use hand tools to mold and shape the wax into your final design to be cast.

Please note - as this course is a follow-on from the wax 1 beginners course which has a full tutorial on finish off once your piece is cast - these videos only have a small section on finish off.

In this course, you can make earrings, pendants, or rings and really get to play.

Follow along with your teacher through these easy-to-follow video tutorials!

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.
