Limited Edition Little Eats Gift Sets
A collaboration between Stephanie Shih & Candela Gallery
available for purchase November 6th

 

To celebrate Little Eats, Candela is releasing a limited-edition collector’s set created in collaboration with artist Stephanie Shih. Each set brings together gestures of seeing and tasting alongside elements found within the exhibition.

Each boxed set is individually assembled, featuring:

  • a 5x7 limited edition hand-varnished and mounted print by Stephanie

  • a special edition donut snack plate by Natalie Kohl of Honey Honey Ceramics

  • a 1oz bag of handcrafted Little Eats tea blended by Carytown Teas

  • a handmade ornament, inspired by Shih’s compositions, sculpted & painted by the Candela crew,

all nestled in a Candela gift bag and box with ribbon, complete with a handmade illustrated tag that can be customized for a personal touch. This intimate edition invites collectors to experience the exhibition through all senses, serving as a meditation on how food, art, and ritual sustain cultural memory.

Gift sets will be available for purchase online with and without the limited edition print. Pre-orders can be placed ahead of the November 6th preview, with in-house pickups beginning Friday, November 7th.
