John Huggins, sculptor and teacher,  was born in Wiltshire . He studied sculpture at the West of England Art College, Bristol from 1956 to 1961, gaining among awards, the prize for sculpture in both 1959 and 1960.  He became a part-time lecturer at Bristol Polytechnic and Bath Academy of Art until 1977,  and then decided to sculpt full-time.  Huggins’ affinities were with artists such as Brancusi and Duchamp-Villon, being concerned with forms and their interaction and impeccable craftsmanship.  Mounting on black bases was a feature of his sculptures.  Initially he showed in the Bath and Bristol area, then signed with Alwin Gallery and later Art Scene to handle his output exclusively, having a series of solo exhibitions, although he had a one-man at Anthony Hepworth Fine Art, Bath in 1993.  He is a Member of the Royal West of England Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors.  The Arts Council and Bristol City Art Gallery hold his work.  A book “John Huggins Sculptor” by Peter Davies has been published about his life and work.
