Ceramic tile has a history dating back some 4,000 years. Ceramic tile was extensively utilized by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. And while it is a common material today, ceramic tile was once relegated to royalty, aristocracy, and the wealthy. It's interesting to note that ceramic tile, thousands of years old, still adorns architectural wonders throughout the world.

Spörck Tileart was founded by Leif Spörck. Being the son of accomplished ceramic artists, Leif has had his hands in clay since he was 2 years old. After receiving his pre-law degree from Hope College in Holland, Michigan, Leif decided to pursue his desire to design and produce a line of artistic ceramic tiles that would reflect his love of the natural environment. He decided to design a line of tiles that represent his perceptions of the colorful wildlife, the blue waters, the verdant farms and the various and beautiful locations that surround him.

Spörck Tileart is located in Suttons Bay, Michigan. Suttons Bay is located on the beautiful Leelanau Peninsula, long known as one of the state's significant fruit and wine producing regions. The Leelanau peninsula is a land of trees, hills, water, beaches and all the things that make for picturesque country settings and provide much of the inspiration for the designs you see on these pages.
