Recent reviews of Private 1:1 Lost Wax Casting Class: Metals Included

• 5/5 from Sharon Iturri, attended Oct 2026: Jaf is the best! I had the best time with her and did a gorgeous ring.
• 5/5 from Isabell Kiral, attended Sep 2026: I had the best time at this workshop and walked away with a ring I couldn't be happier with. Jaf was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and allowed and helped me to fully embrace my own style and ideas. The private setting helped; after setting me up and getting me started, Jaf was tinkering away at her own creation while being there with advice and guidance whenever I needed it. During the workshop, I made a ring from wax that moulded around a gem stone I had brought. I also used a few additional stones Jaf had available. Jaf then organised getting the ring cast in the metal of my choice and finished it off by setting the stone I supplied and polishing it (I assume). And as a bonus, she took a couple of glamour shots of the ring that I got to see before picking it up (attached here so people can look at more than just the wax version, but all credit for those gorgrous pics goes to her) Thank you for everything - advice, helping me create what was in my head, and the chats we had during the session ️
• 5/5 from Megan Buckler, attended Jul 2026: Jaf was generous and warm. She carefully demonstrated the technique and watched to make sure Megan was had adsorbed the information as she worked. Megan was delighted with the rings she made. A thoroughly successful present for my granddaughters 18th birthday.
• 5/5 from Jaclyn Rossi, attended Jul 2026: This was my second class with Jaf and it was great. Jaf clearly explained and demonstrated the method of the wax mold and I was so happy with what I created. I can't wait to receive my ring in silver! Thanks Haf, I'll be seeing you again

• 5/5 from Roshelle Fong, attended Mar 2026: Got a gift voucher for ClassBento and knew I wanted to do Jaf’s class IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Jaf had so many cute gems to choose from and set up the perfect chill environment to learn a cool new skill. I can see why she has a community of loyal students around her. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!

• 5/5 from Emma Croser, attended Nov 2025: Jaf is a beautiful gentle creative soul, enthusiastic and patient teacher. Jaf guided my science mind to free style create which was so different to anything I normally do. I had a wonderful time making a pendant (of my dog's nose print) and ring, I look forward to receiving the finished product. The work space in Fitzroy was friendly and welcoming, with Jaf's husband, gorgeous dog Chass and other artists in their work spaces. A very relaxed fun afternoon. With one on one instruction I didn't feel self conscious at all.

• 5/5 from Lillie Kirkwood, attended Oct 2025: We had lots of fun in this class. Jaf was lovely and warm and super responsive when asking to change the class booking option to two people. The class with just two of us meant the expirience was lovely and very involved. Jaf was super helpful and supportive of us starting the wax process at home and encouraged us to take up the craft. We had a lovely time thank you!

Not only was jaf so supportive and provided the best advice and learning to ensure my vision came to life but she was also really patient!

• 5/5 from Deb Govorcin, attended Jul 2025: I had such a wonderful time in this workshop! Being able to explore creatively by making any style ring you like was amazing, the hardest part is choosing a design! Jaf makes it so easy to feel confident quickly in the wax casting process, and offers her assistance should you get stuck. The vibes were nice and meditative, the conversation was a lovely surprise. If you’re keen to try this type of jewellery making I highly recommend this class :)
