History
Artus Van Briggle, a potter and artist, was Colorado Springs in 1899 and has begun experimenting with clays in the region. He was a teacher in the mixture of clay and glazes and are transformed into works of art. It also introduces the artist of the shape, pattern and color. All rooms have soft colors and glaze colors are turquoise Colorado, green, pink, brown and violet.
Arthur descended from Flemish painters. Born in 1869 in happiness, Ohio, and is said to have demonstrated an artistic talent when very young. He began his studies in Cincinnati and, possibly, Avon Learning Pottery. His mentor in creating ceramics was Carl Langenbeck. He spent several years studying the art, partly helped by the founder of Rookwood Pottery Company where he worked for a while. Rookwood sent to Paris to study ceramics. In fact, it is especially known for its eventual rediscovery of enamel Ming, who had been considered lost for centuries.
Anne Lawrence Gregory Van Briggle
In Paris, fell for a fellow American student, Anne Lawrence Gregory. They plan to marry in 1895, but did not work and completed his studies in Paris in 1896 and both returned to America, Anne goes to live with her aunt in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, Arthur returned to work for Rookwood, where he continued developing his skills and work on the formula of the Ming dynasty dead varnish. Unfortunately, he developed tuberculosis and could not work for many hours a week. A friend suggested that his health could improve the climate in Colorado Springs, so he moved west.
Anne moved to Colorado Springs in 1900 and became the art instructor at the local high school. She has developed Artus and logo found on most of Van Briggle pottery, a Double-enclosed in a square. He built a small factory and the company grew from that. He sold his pottery, 300 pieces in 1901. His reputation is growing worldwide, and soon time was able to find investors and ceramics has been erected.
Artus and Anne were married in 1902, Anne became a partner and work as an artist, was a great number of early works now achieve the highest prices in the collector market. Arthur died in 1904, having achieved more in his short life than most artists achieve in life. Anne was responsible for managing the plant and continue working Artus.

Anne remarried and moved to Denver in 1923 and the company has experienced a period of turbulence, the new Last building is damaged by fire and floods. Eventually, however, was taken to the abandoned Midland Terminal Railway roundhouse, where you can visit today.
