Meet Faye Munroe, our this October 🏺

This month, we're shining a spotlight on Faye, a Luton-based ceramic artist using clay to explore heritage, identity and the stories we carry.

Through her contemporary ceramic work, Faye brings together form, texture and symbolism, creating pieces that invite people to discover their own meanings. She's also co-founder of LUGUS Ceramics C.I.C., helping to make ceramics more accessible and bring people together through creativity.

Based at Stockwood Discovery Centre, Faye is using her practice to celebrate stories, connect communities and contribute to Luton's creative scene.
