When Tigers Used to Smoke (Series 1)

Introducing a collaboration between Chicago-based artists, David Kim (DTK Ceramics) and David Heo, presenting their inaugural ceramic series inspired by shared diasporas: "When Tigers Used to Smoke." Crafted entirely by hand, this ceramic edition blends each artist’s distinctive approach, resulting in a fusion of culture and creativity.

This first edition of 30 pieces is produced by the artists, David Heo and David Kim. Each piece is signed by the former, while the latter stamps his ceramicist’s signature, authenticating that each piece is one-of-a-kind. Each piece is individualistically crafted due to the nature of clay and materials. Expect slight variations, making them truly unique.

Production time is estimated to be 5-6 weeks.
