Who We Are

 Doyle Pottery, located in Mobile, Alabama, is a vibrant ceramic studio led by Doyle Hickman, a potter with 28 years of experience. Offering private pottery classes ($50, $35 online with 30% discount, $25 for repeat sessions) for up to three students in a cozy studio at 1258 Druid Drive, it ensures hands-on learning with one pottery wheel, allowing turn-taking in two-hour sessions. Group classes are held at municipal park. A small material fee ($2-$5) applies, and Doyle glazes one-time class pieces for free, ready for pickup post-firing. Flexible rescheduling and 24/7 booking via 251-229-9023 enhance accessibility.

The studio’s apprenticeship program offers free lessons and materials in exchange for creating pieces for Doyle’s sales, ideal for beginners after one class. The shop, a distributor for Standard Clay, sells affordable supplies like $6/pint glazes and $25/25lb stoneware, plus tools at $1.85. Pottery, paintings, and sculptures by Doyle and students are available, with student works listed free online. A 37" kiln space is rentable via Kilnshare globally.

Galleries showcase Doyle’s and apprentices’ creations, like slab-constructed sculptures. A new Music and Arts Section promotes Mobile artists through music sales (e.g., Johnny Jitters’ albums) and Ryan Jetten’s YouTube interviews, fostering community ties. Doyle’s dedication, low-cost resources, and cultural initiatives make this studio a creative hub for pottery enthusiasts and local talent.
