Craft Stunning Jewellery in Melbourne or Online

Madame Mak's Online Wax Carving Jewellery School Is Coming Soon-ish (hang tight!).....

You'll be able to dive into the captivating world of jewellery making with Dahna's online wax carving jewellery school - from the comfort of your own home or studio. Whether you're a novice wanting to try your hand at wax carving, or an experienced artisan looking to refine your skills, or simply curious and wanting to see how other jewellers do it - there's guaranteed value for you! Dahna's online school is currently being built (it's a lot of work), and it will be structured in a way that fosters skill progression from beginners level to more intermediate/advanced techniques.

This course is going to be extremely comprehensive, and friendly for complete beginners.

Stay tuned for the course release!

Side note: all in-person wax carving workshops at MMJ studio have ceased for 2025. It was a hard decision, but very necessary as I require time and energy to focus on my next venture! Big thanks to the wonderful humans (over 100) who have filled my studio workshops with laughter, stories, and warmth. What a journey!

Online Lost Wax Carving School Coming Soon. School Build In Progress. Stay Tuned! 🎨🔨

    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.
