ARTIST FEATURE: Alexis Tellefsen @tellefsenatelier ARTIST FEATURE: Alexis Tellefsen @tellefsenatelier, a participating artist in “You Deserve Your Flowers,” a group ceramics exhibition curated by Lena Chin @lenalaiceramics. During a time of immense social-political violence against people of color, women, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, this exhibition offers a place of respite and recognition. Join us for the opening celebration in our gallery on Saturday, May 17th, from 4 to 7 PM! 

As a production potter and designer of functional wares the majority of Alexis’s studio time is spent making work that is meant to be used. In a world where there is a clear focus towards consuming less, usefulness and purpose are qualities that she values and applies to her work. She believes that daily objects can and should be beautiful. And whenever possible, they should bring joy.

Tellefsen Atelier is her line of small batch, wheel-thrown ceramics. It is a business and a job but it is also an experiment in living life on her own terms. Of independence and curiosity. Of successes and failures. It’s an expression of herself and a lesson in becoming.
