Carmen Muñoz

... Gabriela Aritio studied law and worked in advertising for five years until she learned this ancient technique from Carmen and discovered how to craft crockery in Mexico. Together, helping each other, this creative mother and daughter duo continued to improve their skills until 2006 when they opened Carmen Muñoz Hand Painted, their ceramics workshop, shop and school in Madrid. Today, they make and hand paint tableware, glassware, lamps and sculptures in porcelain, stoneware, earthenware and glass for people who enjoy the value of handmade things, a well-laid table or a charmingly decorated home. Each one of their pieces requires hours of design, craftsmanship and painting. Customers can buy ready-made tableware or order exclusive pieces tailored to their needs from the shop.
