Shop
In-store shopping is ideal if you want to see pieces in person and compare options with guidance. Many jewellers can advise on fit, styling, care, and gift ideas while you browse.

Hot Dot Designs is the creative practice of Australian artist and designer Carolyne Brennan, whose experience spans jewellery making, glass, pottery and hands-on creative education. With more than 35 years of making and teaching behind her, Carolyne has developed the business beyond a conventional jewellery shop into a studio where tools, techniques and creative learning are central.
Jewellery remains an important part of that history. Carolyne has developed jewellery-making kits and specialist tools and introduced the Zebra jewellery-tool range to Australia in 2006. Her practical understanding of how jewellery is made informs both the products she supplies and the classes she teaches.
Today Hot Dot Designs operates private studios on the NSW Central Coast, with small-group classes covering jewellery, pottery and glass. Class sizes are deliberately limited, allowing participants more direct instruction and access to equipment. This makes the business particularly relevant to people who want to learn a technique rather than simply purchase a finished piece.
Carolyne’s work has received design recognition over the years, and the business reflects a career built around experimentation across different materials. The result is a creative studio where jewellery sits within a wider maker practice rather than functioning as a standard retail category.
For Jewellink, the existing Chester Hill listing needs a significant metadata review. The current business is based on the Central Coast and its focus has shifted toward education, tools, kits and multidisciplinary making. The About story is still relevant, but the listing category should be adjusted so users understand that Hot Dot Designs is now primarily a creative studio and learning resource rather than a conventional jewellery retailer.
