What you'll learn
Learn to design signature jewellery with our short jewellery courses in Sydney.
This fun, structured and relaxing silver jewellery course invites absolute beginners through to people with an art or craft background to learn basic jewellery-making skills.
Wax modelling is an excellent way to create intricate silver jewellery pieces. In class, you will be designing and carving a wax ring or pendant model into your desired shape, which will then be cast off-site in sterling silver, ready for you to add any finishing touches and polishing. This course can be ongoing and we encourage you to re-enrol in this course or join our Silver Jewellery Making Course: Beginners 101 if you wish to work on your own project or at your own pace.
All materials and tools are included, except for the sterling silver casting. The casting cost will vary depending on its size and weight. Please, feel free to discuss your project with your tutor to estimate your costs.
You'll be able to create your own unique jewellery or create limited edition ranges of silver jewellery for sale.

Sabina said: I really enjoyed the Wax Modelling for Silver Casting course. The tutor was knowledgeable and kept the classes going at a good pace. I was happy to complete a piece of silver jewellery and take home the skills home to keep on creating.

Keri said: I really enjoyed this course. For me, having a goal for each lesson would have helped me make sure I was on track. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish my wax mould in time so it could be sent for casting after the third lesson. Overall, I'd do this course again, it's extremely good value and it was nice to be in a class with a small number of participants.
