Wax Jewellery Making

  • 53 Lessons

Dive into the world of 'Lost Wax Casting' with this fully comprehensive ONLINE course.

This is a comprehensive guide on all things 'wax' and using the 'build up' method to create textured, organic work.

You can join this course with NO prior experience and you will walk away with an understanding of creating jewellery in wax from start to finish.

You will need to then learn how to work with the METAL versions of your jewellery which we cover in PART 2: 'Metal Finishing + Stone Setting'.

You can bundle both courses together to save $227 AUD.

If you're in Aus/NZ and would like to pay using AfterPay click here. Your access to the course will be delayed roughly 24 hours as I need to send an invite :)

This is a go-at-your-own-pace course. You'll get instant access to all of the content when you join, and you'll have access for life!
