About R. Doyle Hickman II, Alabama Artist

With 28 years of experience in the art of pottery, Doyle has dedicated his life to mastering the transformative medium of clay. Starting his journey in art at the age of 4 years old and later at age 17 in 1996, he discovered a passion for pottery that would shape his artistic path.

Doyle honed his skills throughout grade school starting with his first formal art classes in the 4th grade, and began wheel throwing at the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science on Dauphin Street and also continued further extensive study in ceramics and studio art at the University of South Alabama studying under ceramics professors Loyd Patten and Tony Wright. This solid foundation fuels his creative exploration, with a few highly credited awards during college and a unique style that blends traditional techniques with contemporary design.

Today, Doyle continues to inspire others through making art and mentoring aspiring potters. He believes in the therapeutic power of creating with hands, and using what you make.   He also encourages others to find their own voice in clay.
