David T. Kim was born in 1990 in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Chicago at a young age. David has a unique blend of eastern and western pottery techniques in his work as he received his B.F.A at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2013 and studied in Korea under Master potter Kwak Kyung Tae. Prior to starting DTK Ceramics, David trained in multiple techniques of ceramics - from tile making to small batch production pottery. David’s experience working for his father, a chef, and restaurant owner has allowed for David to think of all the intricacies of plateware from chef to consumer. All of these experiences helped him learn, create, and design ceramics on a small batch unique scale.
