Crochet with Beads Workshop

Experience the joy of creating your own beaded crochet jewellery!



4 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests    

  $150 - $165 ($165 per guest when you book for 1 guest, $150/guest for 2+ guests) (Afterpay available)

Looking for relaxing things to do in Melbourne on your own, with your friend or part of a larger group? Join us for this jewellery workshop, designed for you to get hands-on with creativity.
This one is very different from all our other jewellery workshops, where you will learn how to create your very own beaded crochet jewellery 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 a personalised piece that you'll love for years to come.
Go boho, casual, chunky, minimalist or corporate style----it's your choice! Match colours and textures or deliberately mismatch and contrast to create a unique piece of hand-fabricated jewellery.
This workshop is all about slowing down, leaving your cares behind, being creative for four 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 how to do a simple crochet chain stitch, add beads and how to finish your piece, attach clasps, use jump rings, bead caps and more to achieve a professional look. Our tutor, Siobhan, will be there to support you every step of the way, so don't worry if you're new to jewellery making or crochet. 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! You are also 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). Of course, if you have some beads at home that are sentimental, then bring them along too.
Combine your class with lots to do and see locally in and around the beautiful tree-lined town of Olinda specifically or the many attractions of the Dandenong Ranges.

  • 5/5 from Debra Billson, attended Apr 2026: A lovely small class in the beautiful township of Olinda. Siobhan was a patient and very knowledgeable tutor (with an absolute plethora of beads to select from!) At no time did I feel rushed, and was able to finish the class with a completed project (with the new-found ability to do more at home).
  • 5/5 from Michelle Wordsworth, attended Feb 2026: Obsessed!!! I loved this workshop and had so much fun. It pushed me outside my comfort zone in a good way. Siobhan is fantastic and so patient and encouraging. I felt all fumble fingers at the start but beyond ecstatic with how it turned out.
  • 5/5 from Janine Kibblewhite, attended Jan 2026: A stimulating creative workshop with a fabulous necklace at the end of a creative day. Siobhan Was an excellent teacher, knowledgable, helpful, creative and patient. She helped when needed and allowed me space and time to learn.

  • 5/5 from Tracey Frazer, attended Oct 2025: I had a wonderful day learning Crochet beaded jewellery. Siobhan is so knowledgeable & patient & a fabulous tutor. Her expert guidance had me crocheting & beading like I had done it all my life in no time. The beads are all fantastic quality gem stones or pearls & precious metal silver fixtures. Thankyou for such a wonderful day, I can't wait to come back. I learnt skills I can use at home to make these 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.
