Jewellery Making
This comprehensive course is made up of 6 x 2-hour sessions, working one-on-one with Caitlin to learn a range of jewellery making techniques.
You will learn how to cut, shape, texture and assemble metal pieces using hot and cold joining techniques such as soldering and riveting. You'll also gain experience with a wide variety of hand tools and specialist equipment and leave with a solid skill set to continue your jewellery making journey.
By the end of the course, you will have made a number of complete jewellery pieces of your own design, such as hook and stud earrings, rings, brooches and necklaces.
The fee covers a small kit of materials to get you started on these projects and we’ll discuss sourcing additional materials as required.
Note: Since this course is one-on-one, dates and times are negotiable.

Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
 
What you'll get
A small starter kit of metal (copper, brass) sheet and wire (sterling silver) is provided, which will be enough to make all your practise pieces in class.
 
What to bring
  • Readers/glasses if required (we will provide safety glasses)
  • A hair tie for long hair
  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Please wear sensible clothing (i.e. not your favourite ballgown or anything you’d be sad to get a little dirty)

Hi! I’m Caitlin Lewis, jeweller and educator, and one of the resident artists at 26 Advantage Rd in Highett.
I have always been fascinated by materials, their properties and interactions. That’s what led me to study and teach chemistry, and it’s also been a real inspiration in my artistic practice.
When my family moved to the US in 2016, I had the opportunity to take a number of courses through the local arts centres and discovered my love of metalsmithing. I worked my way through every course on offer and ended up working as a jewellery instructor and studio coordinator. I started my business Clewdoodle in 2017, making and selling jewellery at local craft markets.
When we moved back to Melbourne in early 2022, I joined the creative community in the beautiful studios at 26 Advantage Rd. I love sharing my enthusiasm for jewellery making with others, and hope to provide knowledge, assistance and inspiration for a new community of makers here in Bayside Melbourne.
