‘I am a Scottish designer maker creating precious metal and wooden jewellery that resonates with the ancient past and how humans have interacted with the land through time’.

Caitlin Hegney is based in Helensburgh Argyll, on the West coast of Scotland, and designs and makes a range of rings, necklaces and earrings in the tranquillity of her home studio. Caitlin looks for rhythms and patterns that transcend ancient times, interpreting them for the present day. Drawing is at the roots of her practice using hand-made tools to translate the expressive quality of her sketches into precious metals. She puts her own spin on traditional craft processes of chasing, filigree and lost wax casting.

Caitlin’s wooden jewellery collections explore the history of the colour blue, working with pattern in the woodgrain and and hand-mixing pigment recipes to dye wood rich shades of blue.

An award-winning artist, Caitlin has undertaken residencies at Cove Park and at The Glasgow School of Art, from where she graduated. She has exhibited in Australia and widely in Europe including the UK, France, and Denmark. As well as her jewellery practice, Caitlin’s work also involves facilitates workshops, focusing on material resourcefulness and engaging with ancient craft skills.
