What you'll do

Join this jewellery making class in Melbourne and learn the art of creating simple oval and round gem-set bezel jewellery pieces in sterling silver with Helene Campbell.

You will learn the basics from how to choose your stone shapes and material, the differences of both premade and handmade bezels and how to use them in your jewellery, the basic equipment you need, and most importantly how to prepare your tools and then the process of securely setting gemstones into sterling silver bezels.

We will start with selecting your stones from Helene's collection of oval and round gems, then go onto making and decorating the bezel, including flame-formed decorative balls of silver, or embossing or creating shot plate embellishments. From there you will choose to make either a handmade bezel set and decorated pendant and bail or a bezel set and decorated ring.

Perfect for people with jewellery making experience, Helene will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you feel confident and empowered throughout the class. This is a small group class with four people, where each of you will have a jeweller's desk to work from.

By the end of the class, you can take home your bezel set pieces, as well as a great sense of accomplishment and new skills!

What you'll get

Take home your completed pieces, class notes on bezel setting, a comprehensive list of tools and where to source them, and tea and/or coffee throughout the day.

Women-owned

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.
