LUKE ATKINSON CERAMICS

Luke first played with clay as a young boy, digging up handfuls and making pinch pots on his family’s rural property in Kellyville, NSW. He studied ceramics during his primary school years and then as part of his Fine Art Certificate at Meadowbank TAFE in 1981-82. A two-year Diploma in Graphic Design at Randwick TAFE then led to a 30-year design career, where he specialised in magazine and newspaper design. Luke rediscovered his love for ceramics when he began a Bachelor of Fine Arts at The National Art School in Sydney. In 2018 Luke moved to Lismore, where he set up a studio at his Girards Hill home, focusing on wheel thrown pieces that were heavily influenced by his design background. He still considers himself to be a designer, but one that now works in clay, creating one-off, mostly non-functional pieces, that are a form of decoration for the living environment.
