Tiles for the nature enthusiast

Ceramic artist Leif Sporck creates these incredible stonewear tiles with themes dear to any northern Michigan resident. Nature, botanicals, fish and wildlife — each with his unique design and glaze color.

Leif's tiles are approximately 5" x 5" and have a hole on the back for hanging. They are for indoor/ outdoor use and run $24.50 each. Gallery Fifty always has a great selection of his work. They make great "guy gifts" and are popular with collectors.

Note: I wish we could give you more personal information about the artist, but he is so shy! I know his father was a potter, but other than that, not much. He's currently updating his own web site, so maybe we'll know more soon...
