Best teacher there is! Not to mention the detailed PDF’s that arrive after the course
"The best decision I made was reaching out to Madame Mak Jewellery. This talented boss babe is a wealth of knowledge and support. Her courses are second to none! What started out as a beginner’s class turned into completing all available courses. Dahna is truly one of a kind and has absolutely become a most valued friend and confidante. Not only has Dahna been there for me professionally and helped build my little jewellery business – she has always been there for me as a friend."

I love to continue learning and have taken quite a few courses over the years
"I can’t thank you enough for the class yesterday and suffice to say I have been at the bench practicing ever since. I went and got a little soldering iron as soon as we finished up yesterday – wow what a game-changer for me! Totally blown away by the manual content – so comprehensive and full of all the info you could ever wish for. So happy to have found and met you. I can see a beautiful smithing/waxing/all things jewellery friendship on the horizon. Thanks so much, darling!"

Dahna's wax ring making jewellery course was the best thing I’ve ever done!
"I took on the Introductory Lost Wax Ring Carving Workshop. Dahna took me step-by-step thoroughly through absolutely everything that involved getting the ring to its final stage. From the different kinds of wax, how to saw and carve to all the types of equipment necessary to use on wax. Everything was clear and easy to understand, and Dahna is wonderful. She’s so down to earth, hilarious, and makes the best food!!!! And so clever. She’s got tips and tricks you’ll use for a lifetime."

"Thank you so much. I really enjoyed my class with you and found your instructions easy to understand and didn’t feel rushed at all which was appreciated as I could concentrate on my ring at the same time. The tool information document you sent through prior to the class was super helpful so I could get all the tools I needed ready and be prepared for class. Thank you for the step-by-step instructions you sent through – it will be a big help! You can tell that a lot of time and effort has gone into your classes with all the information provided before and after class, which is much appreciated and feels very professional. Thanks again and I look forward to another class in future!"

"Madame Mak, thanks so much for allowing me into your creative world. I am so grateful to have learnt more and how to use my tools! And calling them special textures – that is so kind, and I really appreciate it. You’re a special human!"

"You are so sweet. Thank you for having me. I am ever so grateful to have found you, and for your generosity. You have such a wonderful gift and truly, you are such an amazing person. Because of you, I get to play with wax and maybe (just maybe) get to start my own business too, and maybe even have a friend. You are incredible. I bet a lot of people tell you that but whatever – it doesn’t hurt to hear it from another person. I think you are so brave, so please keep going and keep doing what you’re doing because the world needs you. Not more of you, but just YOU!"

"Tonight, I did a zoom class with Dahna. It was very informative. I learnt so much about polishing. I’ve got a little way to go and need to keep practicing, but she has given me all the tips and tricks to help me along the way. Highly recommend booking in with her, whatever stage you are at."

"Hello gorgeous girl! What can I say except WOW WOW WOW! The ring is amazing. Your work and care are second to none. Just love love love! Did I say I absolutely LOVE my unique creations? Thank you so very much. I feel so blessed. They are honestly the best pieces I have, and potentially the best I’ll ever have. They are incredible – the way they fit together like a puzzle, plus the garnets are to die for. Amazing, unique, and powerful. A thousand thanks are not enough. You are a true star and a brilliant person. I am the one that’s blessed!"

Laura C
"Dahna, I’ve just opened my latest package from you, and I am so blown away by the earrings you made me. They looked gorgeous in photos and video but to see and wear them is next level amazing. They are just so lovely and comfortable. I cannot thank you enough for making them. They give off organic plant vibes and I love it. You worked your magic on those stones and it was the highlight of my week opening that parcel!"
-
Steph N
"First of all, the emotions! Surprise, awe, gratitude, amazement! I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again – your work is true art! The ring is more beautiful than the pictures could show. The big blue/purple sapphire, and the smaller ones with their flash of turquoise. The size, the band, the little sparkle carvings – I am in love! And one of the things I am often surprised by is the weight of your jewellery – they look intricate and delicate, but they feel heavy and important and generous. Divine. This is never coming off!"
-
Julie K
"Can’t say enough about my new Madame Mak jewellery. These two silver pieces are not only beautiful, but they have that great feel. I’m talking about the weight of something made well. If you have not checked Dahna out, please do! Her designs are so whimsical and creative and she’s an absolute dream to deal with – keeping me updated at every turn of the transaction. And she just finished some new pieces so head over and check it out!"

Steph N
"It’s like a little floating star to go with the constellation on my ring. Magic! Fate! It’s just perfect and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and your thoughtfulness and the heart you put into your creations and share with your collectors. Let’s be honest – at this point I’m creating an identity, not just wearing these pieces. Thank you so many times over and over Dahna!"
