Recent reviews of Jewellery Making Workshop: Textured Copper Earrings

  • 5/5 from Paula Sophie Wichmann, attended Sep 2026: I booked the Textured Copper Earrings workshop as a birthday gift for a good friend, and we had such a wonderful experience! I was a little nervous as I’m not particularly crafty, but the class was easy to follow, relaxed and so much fun. Our lovely teacher from Clewdoodle helped us bring our earring designs to life, and we were both thrilled with the results! The creative workspace is incredible. We also had time to explore the work of other artists, discover workshops such as mosaics, and even attend an art gallery opening after our class. Such a lovely way to spend time together and create something personal. We’ll definitely be back with more design ideas! ️
  • 5/5 from Clayton Bjelan, attended Sep 2026: Caitlin was an awesome teacher … and incredibly generous with her advice and time!
  • 5/5 from Jo Anne, attended Aug 2026: We absolutely LOVED Caitlin’s “Jewellery Making Workshop: Textured Copper Earrings“ & are curious to see what else we could learn how to make! Caitlin’s instructional style is clear, casual, & cheerful. We had a blast getting to know her & have her share her creativity with us. We were glad to discover the different techniques, have a play & practice on our aluminium sheet, design our earrings & make them a copper reality. We even wore one of the pairs out to dinner later that evening! The smaller class size was perfect for this workshop - just remember to pace yourself so you have decent time to work on your actual earrings (we got carried away playing with all the tools, stamps, & techniques. So we rushed a little at the end to finish our pieces). The venue is a shared art space, where you’ll enter the gallery/framer at the front & will need to walk towards the studio spaces at the back. This workshop was a surprise for our friend & was the perfect gift for all of us to get hands-on, get creative, & make something we could keep & enjoy (or share as a hand-made gift)!
  • 5/5 from Mia Mats, attended Jun 2026: Great class, very informative teacher and l made beautiful earrings. Thank you for the experience.
  • 5/5 from Megan Trower, attended May 2026: This is my second class. Had such as good time last time, I took my Mum to make jewellery as a present. We both had a great time and walked away with some lovely earrings. Caitlin is a great teacher, explaining things clearly and patiently helping to unlock creativity even when you don't think you have any.
  • 5/5 from Amy Schneider, attended Apr 2026: Everything was amazing!!!
  • 5/5 from Joanna Benhamou, attended Mar 2026: I had such a brilliant time at this workshop! There was a huge variety of stamps and patterns to choose from, which made it easy to get really creative with my designs. I ended up making both a pendant and a pair of earrings, and the copper metal stamping process was so satisfying to learn. She was incredibly patient and helpful, especially when it came to the technical bits. I also had a specific personal project in mind, and she was so supportive in helping me figure out how to bring my own idea to life. If you’re looking for a relaxed, encouraging space to learn a new skill, I can’t recommend this enough!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Bishop, attended Feb 2026: Catherine is such an excellent teacher. Beautiful workshop setting, lots of tools, times spent learning techniques, then designing and executing earrings. We had a lovely afternoon, and came away with multiple pairs of beautiful earrings. Would 10/10 recommend!!
  • 5/5 from Kerry Moore, attended Feb 2026: Caitlin delivered a really packed-in 2 hour class. We got to try out various techniques, then design our earrings and each walked away with two pairs. I was super-impressed with her manner and preparedness. 26 Advantage Rd (Mulberry)is an awesome venue, full of other artists and they work. Great value and lots of fun!
  • 5/5 from Meg Trower, attended Oct 2025: This class was a lot of fun and I came away for 3 pairs of earrings that I am looking forward to showing off. Caitlin was a great teacher, providing a good explanation of the processes and provided good advice when I was making the earrings.
  • 5/5 from Danielle Lento, attended Aug 2025: Caitlin is an amazing teacher. Very insightful & passionate about what she does. Gave clear, concise instructions. Definitely worth the 2hr drive. I will definitely be doing some of her other classes. I was able to create four pairs of earrings. I left feeling inspired & almost immediately started a shopping list of what I’ll be investing in to continue my newfound passion.

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.
