At the heart of functional ceramics is the creation of proxies for humans--vessels that reference the original vessel. They become the tools which improve upon or do the work we cannot do: carry water, store food, display items of beauty or value. These are jobs as old as time, and bonds which connect the past to the present; the present to the future; and ultimately, the future back to the past. Humble Matter pieces use a vocabulary of repeated shapes in an attempt to create archetypal forms that feel like an inevitable part of this continuum. They not only serve a purpose as functional pieces, but as talismans that ground us in the magic and importance of everyday objects and rituals in an increasingly disconnected and digitized world.

The Artist
John Born started Humble Matter in 2014 after escaping from the world of advertising. 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. John has a BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

The Studio
Humble Matter is based out of Wedge Ceramics, a membership studio located on the border between Clinton Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Humble Matter is powered by the talent, dedication, and Good Humor of John’s fellow makers Stephanie Gandelman, Beatrice Field and Rebecca Hsu. Humble Matter ceramics have been featured in Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, Wallpaper online, and Vogue online, among others.

Additional Options
Personnalized creations can be made to order.
