About
Moments of the past may gain a new extraordinary significance. Many of the historical experiences, which seem to be of no more value for life and had fallen into oblivion for years, suddenly come back to the surface.
— Herbert Mouldering
Recent work is driven by the ephemeral nature of the landscape. Its form is constantly hidden and revealed in indeterminate fashion, a constant process of growth and decay. All one needs to learn about the human condition is exposed in the process of the forming and reforming of the earth’s surface.

EDUCATION
—
Nigel Hoyle graduated from Bretton Hall College in 1992 with a BA Honours Degree in Fine Art and has continued to develop work alongside a career in teaching.
A PLACE IN TIME
—
In 1995, “A Place In Time” made history as the first contemporary one man ceramics show at Bury Town Art Gallery.
He has exhibited at Booth House Gallery, and has been an invited artist at the Holmfirth Art Week for nearly 20 years. More recently he has exhibited at Holmfirth Arts Market and Art& show, York.
QATAR
—
In 2011 Nigel took up a new teaching post and took his family to the Middle Eastern state of Qatar. This was a rich cultural experience, the influence of which can be seen in more recent work. Traditions, architecture, both old and contemporary: a limestone landscape both barren and yet full of hidden qualities and unexpected life.
Returning in July 2016, Scipelei Ceramics was established and Nigel’s studio can be found in Shepley, West Yorkshire.
THE STUDIO PROJECT
—
The quest to build a studio in which to make pottery, began in 2004 (I think). There has been huge amounts of help along the way with family , friends and neighbours giving their time freely to help realise the dream.
The studio has become firmly established and Nigel is regularly exhibiting around the country. Nigel is the Event Founder and Organiser for artatthehouse, which has been held twice – the next artatthehouse will be June 12/13th 2021 due to refurbishment at Cliffe House, Shepley.
