what students are saying
Please note: I have been overseas this year and will resume teaching this class from Oct 14th 2024, please request any private one on one dates between then and Dec 16th 2024. Teaching resumes in 2025 from the beginning of Feb.
This class is for jewellery students and jewellers wishing to take their wax work to the next levels. You will need to have some previous experience of working with wax, casting and finish off to enrol in this class as it only covers wax modelling. If you have never worked with wax you will need to go onto our wax beginners course first.
Using pink wax you will cover techniques on how to build up wax to create a bezels for cabochon stones- with claws and a higher wall model for a push over setting as well as tapered bezels for faceted stones.
Please note- this is not a gem setting class- you will need to know how to set your own gems later, learn to or find a gem setter.
You will follow led examples so that everyone and the teacher makes the same model and then have time to create a models of your own designs.
You will leave with new techniques under your belt as well as instructions to repeat at home and a equipment/suppliers list.

Your teacher
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 passionI 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.x Eran
