Looking for relaxing things to do in Melbourne on your own, with your friend, or part of a larger group?
Join us for an exciting jewellery workshop, designed for you to get hands-on with creativity. Learn how to create your very own personalised beaded jewellery with a focus on sustainable and natural components to take home at the end of the session. The design and colour possibilities are endless, and we have so many ideas to help you make personalised pieces that you'll love for years to come.
Go boho, casual, chunky, minimalist, after 5, or corporate style - it's your choice! Match patterns, colours, and textures or deliberately mismatch to create unique pieces of hand-fabricated jewellery, either as a necklace or bracelet or even earrings.
This workshop is all about slowing down, leaving your cares behind, being creative for 3.5 hours, and spending some “you” time with like-minded people while learning some of the fundamentals of jewellery design from our experienced tutor.
You will learn jewellery making basics like how to tie knots, attach clasps to cord, make adjustable knot closures with your cord, and more to achieve a more natural look. Our instructor, Siobhan, will be there to support you every step of the way, so don't worry if you're new to jewellery making. With guidance, patience, and encouragement, the workshop will be a hub of creativity, laughter, and a strong sense of achievement as your unique pieces come to life.
In our workshop space, you'll have access to all tools, findings, and beads so you only need to bring yourselves! Of course, if you have some beads at home that are sentimental, then bring them along too.
Suitable for both beginners and those with some experience.
**Note: This class needs a minimum of two participants to proceed.
Choose from the dates and times scheduled or get in touch to discuss your individual or private function needs.

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.
