Margo Csipő is a jeweler, illustrator, educator and writer working and teaching out of the Baltimore Jewelry Center. Her practice explores jewelry and masks as vessels for meaning to be emptied and filled by the creator and wearer both physically and metaphorically. This fabrication-heavy, illustrative jewelry is done with the ancient technique scrimshaw, where images are hand scribed or engraved into materials such as mother of pearl, bone, or amber. Processing time and growth through these sequential images, the artist attempts to understand their own myth in flux.

Csipő’s work has been shown at SCHMUCK, featured in Metalsmith Magazine and Current Obsession, and she is a recent winner of Preziosa Young and a finalist for AJF’s Young Artist award 2024.
