Basic Breastmilk Jewellery Course

Basic Breastmilk Jewellery Course is now ready to complete. The basic course doesn’t contain any questions, you simply read through the modules and lessons and when you’re finished, you’re ready to create some pieces. Once you’ve completed this course, you can get in touch to request a free printable course completion certificate 300dpi printable version which you can print and display in your workspace and show on your website and social media pages!

Thank you so much to everyone for your patience and can’t wait to hear what you think. This basic course is a warm-up for my extensive Advanced Breastmilk Jewellery Course so it’s a chance for us both to try out the course style and to learn new things. Each module and lesson I write are so exciting and the hardest thing for me is not getting carried away, but I hope you can understand why I’m saving the best stuff for the advanced course.

This free course should have more than enough for anyone to get started with their new business, even if it’s beginning as a hobby or craft, or to DIY. If that’s you, don’t worry, I definitely think you have a place here. There’s always a seat at this table for everyone, no matter your background or experience. From the experienced jeweller whose best friend wants you to add breastmilk to a custom design, to the doula whose clients have asked for recommendations, to the chestfeeding trans man who nursed his baby through dysphoria but stopped sooner than he wanted in order to bind again. You could be someone like me, barely keeping their head above water as a stay at home parent and desparate for a small business that will make enough profit to cover a childminder a few hours a week – I don’t think anyone reading this will judge those parents who need some time to themselves. I genuinely think this is the best possible business for us unfulfilled new parents; it has fair profit margins so time away from your baby can quickly translate into money you can spend on groceries. At the same time, you’re absolutely helping people to remember a special time in their lives that passes so quickly. You might not really care too much about profit and be doing this for your community, in which case I’d advise you to still charge the going rate, then as soon as you can, employ someone to help you create pieces that you can mentor.

Offer pro-bono wherever you want to – for me that’s to the milk donors (all three of my babies had donor milk) and to the families whose babies were born sleeping. For you it could be someone who breastfed through adversity such as a baby in NICU. “Common sense” says not to undervalue yourself but giving away pieces or just asking someone to cover your costs can be a great way to gain experience and some 5* reviews. We’ll cover more of this at the end of the course and I’ll show you some ways to make sure your ball starts rolling

I recommend using a browser on a desktop, laptop or sometimes a tablet to access this course. You might find on a handheld device such as a mobile or cell phone, the pages are harder to navigate.
