NIGEL FOLDS
Nigel trained in Art in the 1970's at Ripon Teacher Training College under two inspiring tutors; the painter Peter Sarginson, and ceramicist Victor Priem. His studio is in Bridlington, on the Yorkshire coast. He has have been working full time as an artist since moving here in 2008. In 2010 he set up Prospect Studios, an artist's co-operative sharing studio spaces in unused commercial premises. It was an exciting and productive time for them all, however they have since gone our separate ways. For most of Nigel's working life he has been an art teacher, and a part-time artist, he now he enjoys devoting all of this time to his love of painting.
