Ted Bielefeld was a teaching assistant to Tony Prieto at
Mills College in the late 50's, early 60's. Not much info
can be found about Ted; he was a potter and a jazz
musician and died young. In a 1981 interview with
Robert Arneson, speaking of his days at Mills college,
Robert says "A fine fellow was Ted Bielefeld, who died a
few years later (mid 60's). I learned a lot from him as a
student." Vasefinder calls him "the 'Vincent VanGogh' of
studio because of his personal life struggle."
