Faith Akgun is a Los Angeles-based ceramic artist whose work draws inspiration from classic vessel forms and sculpture. Her hand-built pieces marry traditional shapes with a contemporary aesthetic, celebrating imperfections that reflect the unique mark of handcraft.

Faith is interested in exploring the tradition of pottery’s dual role as both functional object and expressive medium. Rooted in her Turkish and Greek heritage, her work takes on a sort of storytelling by drawing inspiration from her own cultural narrative.
