Bic Tieu Studio
It is located in the city's heart at 250 Pitt Street in the National Building.

Alongside exploring the realm of the contemporary jewellery and object scene, Bic maintains a parallel practice as a freelance commercial jewellery designer, commissions and maker. Bic has over five years’ experience in the jewellery designing and manufacturing processes. Working at the production scale, utilising computer-aided design and large-scale production and casting methods to facilitate the commercial jewellery world. Known for her attention to detail, Bic renders meticulous designs in 1:1 scale using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to articulate designs ready for production. In 2013, Bic started the Bic Tieu Studio range, consisting of small run, studio production base of contemporary jewellery design, honing in to reflect her specialty skills.

Bic's fascination with East Asian lacquer and her desire to recreate the characteristics of maki-e lead to the heart and origins of Asia's lacquering birthplaces. To further her knowledge, Bic first spent some time in Vietnam - where she created a body of works and authored dissertation titled 'Traditional Processes of Vietnamese Lacquer and Their Application to Contemporary Jewellery and Small Scale Body related Objects' coupled with an exhibition at the Kudos Gallery in 2006. Not long after the success of her exhibition, Bic was invited by Japanese lacquer master to take up a formal two-year residency at the world-famous Kitamura Koubou Studios in Wajima Japan where she honed her skills and craft of this wondrous tradition. She remains the only Australian practitioner one of the few non-Japanese to have gained knowledge of this traditional craft. In bringing maki-e into her own contemporary jewellery practice, she creates a wholly new hybrid art form.
