Topis was born, first as a desire to show the world all the beautiful colors and architecture in Antigua Guatemala combined with my passion for ceramics.

Each and one of our pieces is handmade by Guatemalan artisans from the villages around Antigua. Each one of them telling the stories of their village. Telling the story of the beauty, culture, traditions found

in them.

Our Topis artisans learned and embraced what Topis means to us and those who love ceramics.

Throughout the years we've focused on expressing and teaching young ones with the history, culture and traditions.Help them challenge themselves and keep on learning. This way Topis has been able to help preserve local art alive. Our ceramic is not just about the beauty that surrounds us, it keeps on

giving and offering a lifestyle to our artisans by becoming professionals in the art of ceramic and falling in love with it as I have.
