Lexington, KY

Matchstick Goods is an arts-based social enterprise in North Lexington committed to employing and mentoring youth. Over the past four years, we’ve used our little business as a platform to work alongside youth in our neighborhood, teaching hands-on arts skills and supplying them with the intangible professional abilities they need to succeed. Together with our student employees, we’ve designed, created and sold beautiful ceramic pieces that represent our individual and collective stories and cultures. Each of our pieces are made by hand, glazed in our house-made glazes, and fired in our kilns right here in Lexington.
