He/Him
LUKE TOWNE is an artist, jeweler, and current Pratt Munson Jewelry Studio Technician. He earned a BFA in jewelry and metalsmithing from the Rhode Island School of Design. An early passion for chain-making planted the seed for his interest in jewelry. While grounded in methods from metalsmithing and stone carving disciplines, Luke reflects upon narratives emerging from and embedded within the surrounding landscape. Through an alchemical approach, he explores how materials and objects imbue formal, poetic, or even spiritual significance as well as the function of jewelry in strengthening the link between matter and meaning.
