Fatie Atkinson

"Working with wood is like problem solving. Every new piece is the answer. I start with a clear design and a sketch, but as I cut and measure the wood, I see something better. What I envision continues to evolve as I try to give my work a little more, that extra detail."

"I like my designs to have layers like a poem; the deeper you look the more you find. I challenge myself to create that new idea every time. I begin a new lesson with each piece, which is why you see constant change in my work."

Fatie Atkinson, a 2005 graduate of Haywood Community College, won first place in the 2006 Niche Awards furniture category for his Tuxedo Chair. He competed against professionals who have been in the field for more than 30 years. Fatie works at Textures Studio in Waynesville, NC.
