Marlene McKibbin has been making jewellery for over four decades, using many different materials. Her main body of work has been in acrylic and, over the last fifteen years, stainless steel and gold. The acrylic is hand machined and dyed, with particular attention paid to the finish to allow the angle of refractive light to bounce through; simple structures reflect the unique and tactile qualities of the material. Her work is understated, elegant and effortlessly modern. Marlene has also been an AL lecturer at Central St. Martins since 2001.
