Create the perfect gift
Showing your love and affection with ATMA's ceramics
Customized gifts are the best way to tell your loved ones how much you cherish having them in your life. You have great memories together and you want them to remember those. They can become a new cooking tradition with their own kids or a source of energy when they might feel a bit down.
I define myself as a nostalgic person, but a happy one! I started writing my grandma’s amazing recipes on mixing bowls and gift them to my brothers and cousins. Their immediate and unforgettable reactions led me to include customized ceramics in ATMA collection.
Material and Timing
In my studio, I use stoneware clay fired at 1250°C / 2280°F. It has an excellent resistance to shocks and it goes perfectly in the microwave and dishwasher.
For the writing, I use the same clay body as the container diluted with water. I apply it when it is still fresh so that both merge together when drying and being fired together. I use only capital letters.
Depending on the time of the year, I might need up until 3 weeks to make the vessel and customize it. Ceramic is a slow art with long drying times and 2 firings, each one lasting about 36 hours to go up to the expected temperature and cool down. We, ceramicists, are all very patients people!
My studio is based in Spain, I send ceramics every week to Europe, US and Canada. The shipping takes about a week for the US and Canada and 3 to 5 days for Europe.
Languages
I can write in ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH and other languages using the Latin alphabet.

Personalized Bowls
ATMA’s customized mixing bowl can be offered as a wedding gift as well as for Christmas or any special occasion. Sharing family traditions has never been more important!
For wedding gifts, I have been writing ingredients and short process text in front (sometimes there’s no process text), and the names and wedding date in the back. For longer recipes, it is better to stay with the original design which is ingredients in the front and process text in the back.
