Lock Baker '99
“I knew I wanted to be an artist since I was two years old,” said Lock Baker '99. In the fall of his eighth-grade year, armed with a small portfolio, Baker visited Millbrook to tour the school and meet Bill Hardy. He was immediately attracted to being a part of a community of like-minded people and thus began a series of fortunate choices that led Lock toward a life of art and fabrication. Lock grew up building and crafting in his father’s basement wood shop and was right at home building sets for Millbrook’s theatrical productions in the barn. Inspired by the freedom he had to create, he fondly remembers how Bill Hardy led classes and contributed to the experience of young artists.
A love of mountain biking, discovered at Millbrook, led to a passion for two-wheeled transportation and to careers in designing and building bicycles and motorcycles. His latest passion project is the design and fabrication of handmade knives and holsters. Each knife, each bike, is a work of art, and Lock treats them as such. He is happy spending his days cruising the California coast on a chopper or polishing a newly- forged blade to perfection. Always ready for a new venture, Lock will continue to dive deep into his passion for art and creation.
