Looking for an experience that’s relaxing, creative and a little bit special to do in Melbourne or the Dandenong Ranges? Step into Tall Trees Studio in beautiful Olinda and enjoy a hands-on jewellery making workshop designed to help you slow down, unwind, and create something uniquely yours.
Whether you come along solo, with your bestie, or as part of a small group, this workshop is the perfect way to switch off, reconnect, spend a meaningful few hours surrounded by like-minded people and create your very own beaded jewellery to take home.
With our small class sizes (maximum 8 participants), you’ll enjoy an intimate and relaxed atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace, ask questions freely, and receive expert guidance from your tutor Siobhan, who will provide support at every step of the process.
Slow down. Create with intention. Have a few laughs. Leave with something beautiful.
What You’ll Experience:
In our Beading 101 class you will not only have fun, you’ll walk away having:
  • Learnt the fundamentals of beaded jewellery making, design and construction — including using tiger tail, crimp beads, clasps, jump rings, head pins, bead caps and more to achieve a professional finish.
  • Explored your individual style — go boho, minimalist, modern, colourful, or classic. Match, mismatch, or mix it all up — the design choices are endless and uniquely yours.
  • Designed and handcrafted your own necklace, bracelet, and earrings that are professional in finish, personal in meaning and entirely your own design.
  • Received friendly, expert guidance from Siobhan, an experienced jewellery maker and creative tutor who is passionate about helping you make your ideas shine and who’ll support and encourage you every step of the way.
  • Able to upgrade to gemstones at $70 per person, pay on the day. Higher quality pearls are also available and will be per pearl strand cost, pay on the day.
Why Choose Tall Trees Studio?
Unlike large, fast paced workshops, we believe in quality over quantity. Our focus is on learning and the joy of creating with intention — not rushing through a project.
It’s our quality bead selection too! You’ll have access to our stunning collection of materials in all shapes, colours and styles, including glass, crystal, gemstone chips, ceramic, acrylic, wood, metal, and polymer clay beads to create beautiful lasting keepsakes of your time learning with us. We use stainless steel or plated brass findings in class, and for a touch of luxury we also offer optional upgrades that you can view and pay on the day including semi-precious gemstones and pearls plus sterling silver or gold-filled components.
Enjoy the calm pace of our studio, a cosy cup of tea or coffee with bikkies, and the satisfaction of making something beautiful with your own hands.

  • 5/5 from Janet Usher, attended Mar 2026: Really enjoyed beading class. It was creative and inspiring. Learnt so much which I feel confident doing on my own. Siobhan was fantastic - couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. She was real, open and clear with her instructions. Love the items I made and came away feeling very happy and fulfilled. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Jo Sarafis, attended Jan 2026: The class was excellent. Siobhan was so knowledgeable and helped guide me through to choose and create something that I would enjoy wearing. she had a wealth of information which she readily shared and shows her passion for her craft1. I would love to do a different class with Siobhan as she has so much creativity in a range of different materials. The venue was great as well and Helene was very welcoming as well. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
  • 5/5 from Franceyne Brennan, attended Oct 2025: This was a great workshop, with a very knowledgeable teacher who was very generous and patient. There was a wonderfully diverse selection of beads and jewelry options, all in a great atmosphere.
  • 5/5 from Jane Du Plessis, attended Jan 2025: I had an amazing time creating my statement jewelry! The class was fun, engaging, and the final results went beyond my expectations. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Kate Elliott, attended Jan 2024: I loved this class! Helen is an amazing artist. She was very talented. I learned a lot about different techniques- all hand made and I came home with a lovely necklace. Highly recommend any of Helen’s classes. Thank you Helen
  • 5/5 from Deb, attended Sep 2023: Great workshop. I've never done anything like this before, but always wondered if I would enjoy beading and I did! Helene was really helpful, generous and kind with her guidance. It must be really hard to watch amateur's when you are a talented designer yourself. She gently coached us into the right balance of aesthetics and being imaginative. The quality and quantity of beads was amazing. The ones I used were all hand made beads and when Helene added the clasps, it felt like a really expensive beaded necklace and bracelet. If you are looking for something different to do, to check if it is a hobby you wish to start, or to make something special I highly recommend this workshop. The Tall Trees Studio is amazing too!

Tall Trees Studio now has two dedicated Tutors for our various workshops.
Helene for all Precious Metal Forming Jewellery Workshops and Siobhan for all Beading Jewellery Workshops.
Helene is the owner and Goldsmith in Tall Trees Studio & Gallery and lives on Mt Dandenong. Helene's passion is handcrafted jewellery, not the mass produced items being produced by casting in factories. Traditional slow hand crafted, starting from granule, alloying to carat, making sheet and wire, then hand crafting the pieces, incorporating both traditional and contemporary techniques.
Helene enjoy handcrafting jewellery so much that she finds that she loves sharing this passion with more people.
Siobhan is local to The Dandenong Ranges and has been running her own successful jewellery business and conducting creative workshops, for over 10 years. She first started learning different jewellery making skills in her teens before embarking on a more corporate career in Human Resources, Training and Development and being a mum to her three children.
Together with her vast jewellery making skills plus her qualifications in and love of training, she is now extending her workshop schedule to share her skills with us at Tall Trees Studio. Siobhan holds a current working with children check.
If you're familiar with Tall Trees Studio & Gallery then you will have seen Siobhan's extensive jewellery, under the brand Berjique Jewellery, on display since we first opened our doors.
Siobhan loves nothing more than to share her knowledge, create a warm, friendly and inclusive environment for learning and to have a few laughs while creating.
