Tall Trees Studio is both Gallery and working Studio for Goldsmith Helene Campbell located in Olinda on Mt Dandenong within the Dandenong Ranges.
The Studio is the hub of the Gallery, and you can easily watch Helene create handcrafted jewellery destined either for display and sale in the Gallery or on most weekends leading workshops in jewellery making.
Helene’s pieces feature Australian Gold and/or Silver, ethically or locally sourced stones, such as Australian Sapphires, Opals and Pearls in fresh, simple, vibrant, and contemporary designs using traditional and contemporary materials and techniques. Helene’s designs reference the natural environment or are designed to showcase the distinctly different gemstone and materials being used. Each piece is handmade, and as such is as individual, much like the maker and the eventual owner.
Helene shares the Gallery space with over 35 Artists, most local to the Dandenong Ranges, exhibiting their work in the beautiful, well-lit space that is the Gallery.
There are Artists of many genres encompassing art, home décor, personal accessories, jewellery, textiles, journals and things to grow.
Helene and her staff are always pleased to share the story of each maker’s journey in creating their pieces.
