About the Artist:
(Karl is now retired and no longer running his pottery business, the Brisling Pottery sales building is now closed and you can no longer puchase his work there.)
"Although he entered Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan as a premedical major, one class in ceramics led Karl Spörck to decide that pottery was his true love. This ultimately led Karl to earn both Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts degrees at Michigan State University.
Following the completion of his studies Spörck moved to Michigan’s beautiful Leelanau County to open a studio. “I wanted to have a pottery shop and we found an affordable piece of property on a good road.” Spörck established his, now closed, “Brisling Pottery” on M-204 between Suttons Bay and Lake Leelanau."
