MICHAEL HUYGHE (1952 - )

Michael Huyghe was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1952. Upon completing high school, he travelled throughout Europe, and took his first pottery class at Finsbury Park Polytech in London, England. When he returned home in 1972, he began working in the family business, the Huyghe School of Pottery. He continued his education in pottery, taking courses at the Vancouver School of Art, now Emily Carr College of Art Design, where he studied under John Reeve, Michael Henry and Clary Illian. In 1983, Huyghe founded Terra Cotta in Vancouver, a commercial gallery which specialized in clay, paper, wood and glass. The gallery closed in 1990 and Huyghe has since started a new career in carpentry in the Vancouver area.
