Join me in the studio for a September "Springternship"! Say WHAT? You have the opportunity to spend September with me in the studio wax carving and grinding metal. Work on my foundational course work in the first week, and progress to carving your own designs in the "freestyle experimental" second week of the course. Return in the last week of September for a metal grinding and polishing extravaganza. Sixty-one hours across 13 sessions, whew!

Join me at MMJ HQ (3105, VIC), to carve some fun playful whimsical charms and pendants! This wax carving course is perfect for complete beginners, as well as those wishing to expand their current wax carving skill set! Make as many charms as you can in our 3 hour wax carving session, and return in 2 weeks to professionally finish as many of your cast charms as possible! Your wax carved charms and pendants will be magically transformed by the casting magicians into their metal forms, utilising the ancient art of lost wax investment casting during our two week hiatus after our first session. The possibilities are endless!

Work on your own wax carved design with my 1:1 guidance! If you have a little bit of wax carving experience but require assistance with conceptualising and carving a new design - this is for you! Sometimes we get stuck and need a little push to break into the next skill level, so join me for 2 hours or 6 hours or more until your heart is content! You aren't required to complete your wax carving (unless you wish to), however I will help you get started. I'll show you how to mark and measure your waxes, to aid with design conceptualisation and the lost wax reductive process! Available Monday - Friday (and occasionally on weekends).

You didn't attend any lost wax carving workshops and embarked on your own self taught journey. You sent your wax carved ring away to be cast in silver or gold, and you've now received it back. It's in your hand looking dull with sprues and all, and you're thinking "well, what do I do now?"! Have no fear! My metal polishing/finishing masterclass is here! BYO bring your own cast ring (lost wax cast, or sand cast) and I'll guide you through the steps to professionally finish it for personal wear or sale! I'll provide tools, equipment and safety gear for use in the studio on my fully equipped professional jeweller's bench, and you can BYO ring!
