Bibi Locke
Bibi discovered her passion for jewellery making in 2003, in the jewellery studio of the Queensland College of Art, where she was studying for a Bachelor degree. Majoring in Gold and Silvermithing, Bibi excelled in this area, and went on to become a Resident Jeweller at the Museum of Brisbane's MoB Workspace. Bibi joined MoB Workspace in 2006 as the studio's first graduate jeweller.
Bibi's unique style involves hand-sawing modern linear designs into flat sheet metal, then twisting and persuading them into graceful, flowing, three dimensional forms that are wearable artworks. Bibi is currently completing an Honours dissertation regarding the use of recycled and renewable materials in contemporary Australian jewellery. Bibi is focussed on making jewellery that is environmentally sustainable, and has introduced a range of recycled stainless steel jewellery.
