Stuck at polishing? the professional finish is calling!

Metal Finishing/Polishing Masterclass (BYO cast ring)

Have no fear - my metal finishing/polishing masterclass is here! This one is for the rebels who never attended a lost wax carving workshop and embarked on their own self-taught journey. They've got a raw casting in their hand looking dull with sprues and all, and they don't know what to do next to get their ring smooth and shiny to a professional standard finish. Perhaps it's their first ever ring (how exciting), or they require a refresher. Join me in this short-but-informative tell-all masterclass!

    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!

    -Kerryn D, "Wildsmithing"

  • 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.
