Beginners Jewellery Wax Carving and Finishing Course: Part 1

Learn how to make jewellery using the lost wax carving method



2 x 2.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $290 (Afterpay available)

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.

  • 5/5 from Tilly Velthuis, attended Apr 2026: Eran is a great teacher! Highly recommend, lookinh forward to booking another class with her soon :):)
  • 5/5 from Evie Liolios, attended Jan 2026: The teacher is knowledgeable, competent, caring, generous and experienced in teaching small groups. Every participant received individual attention and encouragement. I've participated in this class once before and thought it top notch! Highly recomment.
  • 5/5 from Grace Sng, attended Jan 2026: So good! Eran was patient and generous with her knowledge. I’m very happy with how my piece turned out. Totally amazed by Jewellery wax carving
  • 5/5 from Emma Roe, attended Jan 2026: I really enjoyed the class it was very informative, a great way to start your ring making journey. You learn how to make your desired design in wax while also learning how casting works including the types of metals you can use and how to figure out the weight your wax ring will be in your desired metal. This is helpful when understanding the cost of making your ring. If you want to starting making rings for a living or just for you and your friends I would highly recommend this course.
  • 4/5 from Jodie Horne, attended Jan 2026: Great Class...
  • 5/5 from Ella Bamber, attended Nov 2025: Eran was absolutely incredible. She was such a skilled, friendly and attentive teacher. I am really happy with all the knowledge I acquired throughout the workshop and am super keen to continue making jewellery and apply the techniques and skills I learnt at home. I am so pleased with the ring I completed over the course of the workshop - a very satisfying and fun experience! I definitely recommend this class 10/10 ️
  • 5/5 from Harriet Mertikas, attended Nov 2025: Eran was amazing, such a great teacher. Really helpful whether this is a hobby for you or a new business venture. Great tips and great foundation to beginning jewellery making.
  • 5/5 from Alexandra Gurr, attended Sep 2025: Eran was fantastic, so knowledgeable and helpful. I learnt heaps that I can hopefully apply to my own designs at home! Felt very supported and encouraged to be creative. Couldn’t recommend the class more
  • 5/5 from Hayden Richardson, attended Sep 2025: Highly recommend this class by Eran. Eran was very supportive and informative. Can't wait to making wax castings with the new skills I've learnt
  • 5/5 from Chantelle Leah Khmelevski, attended May 2025: It was such a pleasure to learn from Eran! She’s so patient, well spoken and has a lovely energy - her classes were so effectively structured- she focused on building a holistic understanding of the entire process, and when it got to the technical elements it always felt relaxed and there was enough time which really helped me gain confidence and focus on my learning. I got to make some amazing rings that I’m really proud of~ I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get started with lost wax jewellery!
  • 5/5 from Rachel Locks, attended Apr 2025: Really fun class and she sets you up well to be able to make jewellery on your own in the future
  • 5/5 from Sevilla Furness-Holland, attended Nov 2024: Eran was so open to supporting whatever creative project I put forward, and committed to helping me complete it. I learned skills that I will definitely put into practice. I’m super satisfied and excited to keep making jewellery!
  • 5/5 from Laura Hewson, attended Dec 2023: Eran’s class was excellent! She talked us through everything step by step. The venue was great held in an art studio in Albert Park. The class size was small so we got a lot of 1:1 help. I came out of the class with two beautiful rings I am more than impressed with
  • 5/5 from Ceridwen Charters, attended May 2023: This is the second class I’ve done with Eran and will continue to learn from her as she is like a Jedi master of jewellery. She assists you wherever you need help in, teaches you in a way you’ll remember rather than just showing you and hoping you’ll remember, she emails all the notes and product lists after class but most importantly, she actually cares and is a passionate teacher. I’d highly recommend going to one of eran’s classes as you do feel like you are actually learning from a master and a master she is. She even sent us out to run a practical errand after our first class so we would learn how to do things ourselves which I found incredibly useful. Again, if you are looking into making jewellery, Eran is the master
  • 5/5 from Cathy Gluyas, attended May 2023: Amazing to come out of a 2 session class with 2 completed rings! Eran was very warm, attentive and helpful, and the class of 8 people was the right size to allow her to give good support to all. There was clear instruction about how to use all of the equipment, and the venue worked well for the purpose of the class. I'd strongly recommend this class to others.
  • 5/5 from Alyssa Dundas, attended May 2023: This class is great! Eran is passionate and loves the craft. She teaches you in hopes you’ll fall in love with it as much as her and continue. She gets you straight into carving and makes the best use of your time there. Couldn’t recommend more x
  • 5/5 from Belinda Bardas, attended Nov 2022: Eran Is a terrific and experienced teacher. Everything that we needed was provided and best of all on completion of the course l left with a Finnish ring that l am proud of.
  • 5/5 from Ayako Obori, attended Jul 2022: Eran is an amazing teacher! Thanks to 2 days class, I got 2 beautiful everyday rings. I'll definitely come back to join next class Thanks!

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.
