Atipalku grew up in Pukatja, and studied at the Ernabella School, later becoming a teachers aid. She entered the Ernabella Mission craft room as a young woman becoming adept at weaving, and at the age of seventeen was sent to Mittagong to study weaving at Stuart along with two other young women from the Mission, where she spent several months learning how to weave on a new typeof loom.
