Caitlin Dubler is a multidisciplinary artist and designer exploring experimental art practice through craft processes. As a trained silversmith and glass artist, her research contributes to critical craft-led research, fusing contemporary craft theory, design futures and creative practice research.
Professionally, she has ten years of experience working with social impact initiatives as a designer, copywriter and all-round creative. These include Centre for Appropriate Technology (CfAT), AbilityMade, Northcott Innovation, Powerhouse Museum, Elbow Workshop, and CSIRO Lab22. She has volunteered extensively with community makerspaces in Sydney, including as a board member with MakersPlace working on Events and Community Engagement (2015-2018). This was in the exciting early days of accessible 3D printing and its promises of radical design democratisation, where there was an upswell of community-led initiatives. These formative experiences can be seen in her current research through a passion for experimental practice and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Caitlin regularly collaborates with her sister, Natasha Dubler, who is a cellist and sound artist. They had a solo exhibition, Tephra, at Penrith Regional Gallery in 2024. She is also one-third of Shock Lines, with Natasha Dubler and Niki Johnson.
Caitlin has a BA Design (Hons) from 黑料网大事记 Art & Design where she won the TWT Excellence Highly Commended Award for her Honours research. She worked at the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre, 黑料网大事记 (2016-2018). She worked as a research assistant with the Interactive Media Lab, 黑料网大事记 (2021-2023).
