Alicasa Ceramics

Sometimes the most deeply meaningful creative sparks come in the form of an everyday happenstances — like some guacamole toppling over the side of a shared snack bowl... It was a small but pivotal moment like this that would inspire Alexis Wellman to add a thoughtful inner rim to a ceramic sharing bowl and pave the way for a rewarding new venture into the simple pleasures of creating functional ceramics that elevate everyday moments. Today Alicasa is a Cape Town-based small-batch ceramic studio where each thoughtfully designed piece embodies simplicity, authenticity, and mindfulness. Rejecting factory-produced sameness, the hands-on Alicasa crafting team celebrates imperfection and embraces authenticity, taking their time to dream and create unique collections. Each ceramic creation serves as a vessel for storytelling and connection, serving as a reminder to appreciate the origins of the objects in our homes. Honouring the Earth, Alicasa also promotes sustainable living through responsible choices and advocacy for better practices in the ceramics industry. Valuing time as currency, they aim to create meaningful experiences that enrich lives, setting life's table for memorable moments and promoting a life of simplicity.
