About Carolyne

About Me – Carolyne Brennan

Hello! I’m Carolyne Brennan, and I teach women to create standout fashion jewellery with a wow factor, inspiring confidence and individuality through unique pieces that express true style and embrace change.

Welcome to Jewellery Power – yes, it’s a thing.

I see the human form as a blank canvas to dress, embellish, and enjoy. Jewellery is a powerful reflection of your personality – showing how you feel and want to be seen.

 My work in ceramics, jewellery, and glass embodies boldness, originality, and innovation, but I also embrace softer, feminine styles depending on my mood.

I’m grateful for the collaborations that have showcased my work on catwalks and adorned private clients worldwide – proof that you never know where a jewellery journey will take you.

About Hot Dot Designs

Founded in 1986, Hot Dot Designs celebrates my dedication to jewellery artistry. Pieces are featured in private collections globally. In 1999, I proudly launched my handmade ceramic bead and pendant collection for Mulgara Gallery at Uluru.

Hot Dot Designs Jewellery School

Established in 2003, Hot Dot Designs School of Fashion Jewellery is a space where women learn and experiment in a supportive environment. I teach ceramics, wirework, silk knotting, glass fusing, ceramics and more, empowering students to create one-of-a-kind pieces they can wear with pride.

What’s Next

I’m developing online classes for all skill levels, starting with Standout Classic Silk Knotted Jewellery. Sharing my expertise and seeing students embrace the magic of jewellery-making is my greatest joy.
