Ceramicist Carmelita Nuñez finds inspiration in everyday objects.
It all started with Catwoman—Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman. Carmelita Nuñez was a sophomore in high school when she designed her first ceramic, a bust depicting the action heroine with her trademark red lips, that famous black mask, and white catlike eyes. Though Nuñez, who is a native of St. Louis, thought she would study graphic design in college, she decided to switch majors early on after enrolling in a ceramics course. Now she works out of her home in Dutchtown, where she creates brightly illustrated earthenware, including bowls, plates, and teacups. We recently visited with Nuñez to discuss her art.

Cut from the Same Cloth
“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
