We are committed to removing systemic barriers to, and shifting power dynamics within, our fields of craft and design. These industries are often exclusive, cost prohibitive, and expect a certain baseline skill level, social network, or resources for entry. We believe that being well-networked and having financial wealth should not be preconditions to thrive and, therefore, hope to share knowledge and concrete skills with all who seek them. <a href="https://www.thelevelupproject.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn more</a> about our initiative and keep up with the latest happenings through <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thelevelup_project_/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">instagram</a>.Find our full schedule of workshops from September 14th - 20th <a href="https://www.thelevelupproject.org/workshops" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>, where you can register yourself, gift tickets to friends, family &amp; colleagues.

Humble Matter ceramics and sculptures are available across the US and around the world. They have been featured in print and online in publications including Elle Decor, Elle Decor UK, Milk Decoration, Wallpaper, and Vogue. In 2019, John had the first Humble Matter solo exhibition at the Dobrinka Salzman Gallery in New York. Not a New York native, but definitely a transplant who’s taken hold, John has lived in Brooklyn since moving to New York in 1993. When he's not in the studio, John can be found running throughout Brooklyn or relaxing on the beaches of Truro, MA with his family. John has a BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.Keep up with John <a href="http://www.humblematter.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">online</a> and through <a href="https://www.instagram.com/humblematter/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">instagram</a>
