Meet the Makers: Explore Wax Jewellery with Three Inspiring Jewellery Artists
What would you ask a jewellery mentor? We have a talented mentor team on the Wax Diploma course and in this live session I introduced you to some of them. Find out more about their careers and what they are most looking forward to with the new Diploma course on the replay now.
Meet the Makers
Jane Taylor
Jane is a highly experienced bespoke jewellery maker with decades of hands-on practice in the industry. She has built and run her own successful jewellery business, creating custom commissions and one-off pieces from her Surrey studio. Jane is also an experienced tutor, teaching jewellery making and mentoring students, including her work as a tutor with Jewellers Academy. Her work is known for its craftsmanship, attention to detail, and thoughtful use of precious materials.
Elin Horgan
Elin is a jewellery designer and maker based in Bristol with over ten years of experience. Her work is characterised by clean lines, geometric forms, and architectural influences, with many of her collections beginning life in wax. Elin uses wax carving as a core part of her design process, allowing her to explore shape and structure in a highly creative way. Her jewellery is sold online and through independent galleries, and her work has been recognised through initiatives such as the Royal Academy’s RA-ted programme.
Joanne Hunt
Joanne creates jewellery from her home studio in the North East of England, drawing inspiration from coastal landscapes and natural textures. She specialises in lost-wax casting and wax build-up techniques, which she uses to create organic, tactile designs. Alongside running her own jewellery practice, Joanne teaches wax jewellery techniques and supports students learning to work confidently with wax as part of the Diploma in Wax Jewellery.

If you were inspired and are interested in learning more about the Diploma in Wax Jewellery, you can find more information about the course here:
What about the tools and materials?
The tools and materials kits are now available to download. You can currently spread the cost of the course, tools and materials kits over 18 months. The 18-month payment plan expires on Friday 13th March so if spreading the cost is important for you, do enrol before then.
Tools and materials kits are available on a first come first serve basis. We currently have both in stock but do usually sell out before we close enrolment on the course so if you do want one (I strongly advise the materials kit to all) then don’t delay in joining the course.
If you have any questions you can either email contact@jewellersacademy.com, or if you fancy a chat with the team, book a no obligation call here
Whether the course is right for you or not, I hope you found this session with working jewellers inspiring. Thank you so much for being a part of the Jewellers Academy community.
