In 1899, American Artus Van Briggle, already a famous painter in Europe, established his art pottery company in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Van Briggle began his career as an apprentice at the Avon Pottery company and later at the Rookwood Pottery Company where he became a leading decorator. Van Briggle married Anne Lawrence Gregory in 1902. Anne, an accomplished artisan, became adept at producing her husband’s glaze formulas. Artus died from tuberculosis on July 4, 1904. Anne continued to run the company until 1912. Throughout its history, Van Briggle Pottery has attracted talented artisans and, since at least the 1930's, has featured tours and live displays of potters "throwing on the wheel."
Potters who have worked at Van Briggle include Ambrose Schlegel, Harry Bangs, Nellie Walker, William Higman, Clem Hull, Gene Hopkins, Fred Wills, Nelson Curtis, Joe Jezek, Craig Stevenson, Mark Sucharski, Lori Keenan, and Becky Hansen. After changing hands several times during its history, Van Briggle Art Pottery Company finally closed its doors for good around 2014.
