Clay All Day

Isabelle Merickle (’24) adds height and texture to “Organic Vessel III,” a nature-inspired, coil-built ceramic vase she created during her senior ceramics class in the Fine Arts Building. Merickle recently graduated from UT Martin with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design. She now co-runs Cactus Grove Designs, an apparel company featuring her original artwork. Merickle said the hands-on experience of ceramics offered a creative counterbalance to her digital work and continues to influence her artistic process today.
