Talvi - Wedding Ring Workshop

1. What You’ll Love About Working with Talvi - Wedding Ring Workshop For Your Melbourne Wedding:

• A Meaningful Making Experience. Instead of selecting finished rings from a display, you will create your own wedding bands with personal guidance from Ash.
• Organic, Personal Designs. The lost wax process lets you experiment with fingerprints, scribed details, rugged textures and understated shapes that feel distinctly yours.
• A Relaxed Yarra Valley Setting. Talvi’s character-filled country studio offers an intimate space where you can focus on creating something together.

At Talvi - Wedding Ring Workshop, the experience unfolds across two sessions. During the first, which takes around four hours, Ash guides you through the lost wax process. You will carve your rings from wax, exploring fingerprint impressions, hand-scribed details, organic textures and simple, minimal forms. Your designs are then sent to professional jewellery casters in Melbourne and transformed into your chosen precious metal. The sessions are usually held around two weeks apart, subject to casting schedules.

When you return for the second session, which takes around two hours, you can file, sand and polish your rings with Ash's guidance. You can also ask her to complete the finishing before you collect them and check the fit. Talvi offers workshops in 925 silver and 9ct gold, while 14ct and 18ct gold options are individually quoted. Tools, hot drinks, a grazing lunch and desserts are provided, and photographs from the workshop are sent to you as a keepsake.

About

As a mainly self-taught jeweller, I discovered my passion for creating unique, untamed pieces that capture the essence of individuality. Although I started with a simple workshop, I have taken every chance to learn from skilled tutors to help improve my craft. Through years of dedication, I am now a skilled silversmith & teacher of the basics. Helping others to learn the art that I love and to create jewellery unique to them, with significant meaning.
