About Atria UK

Sentimental. Cherished. Connected.

Founded in 2017 by me, Gemma. I'm the designer, creater, wax stamp maker, tea drinker and apparently website copywriter (who knew!) behind Atria UK. Atria is humbly run from my home studio in Gloucestershire.
*Update, as of October 2024 I now work from my very own studio, still based in Gloucestershire, on a farm, surrounded by the countryside. Want to visit? Pop me an email to arrange *
All processes from designing and printing, to painting, gilding and carefully packaging, take place here, by me.
All of this is really just to say, Hi! Hello! Pleased to meet you.
I want you to know that when you browse through my website, whether you're here for the keepsakes and gifts or perhaps a newly engaged couple searching for wedding stationery ideas, I am so grateful that you landed here. I try my best to be a nice human and I love talking to other nice humans, whether it's about your wedding plans or unique gift ideas too. So if you think I can help at all, send me a message or come and find me on socials. I'd love to talk and hopefuly we can work together too. x

Get in touch.

JUST IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING

Here's a little bit about me, Gemma.

Qualifications & Background

I'm pretty sure i've always been creative... and sentimental. At school I loved Art and ended up taking 3 different Art A levels; Fine Art, Ceramics and Art Textiles. I then went on to study Spatial Design at University and majored in Interior Design. From there I worked for 12 years designing bars, restaurants and commercial food service facilities. Anything from staff canteens to high end fine dining restaurants for chefs off the tele. By the time I left my role in 2020 I had worked my way up to Head of Design and Marketing.

Home Life & Self Employment

How did this start you ask? Well in 2016 I had a little boy, Cub (who is everything!) and in September 2020 he was due to start school, having turned 4 just a few days before. It was at this time, I took the leap in to full time self-employment, having run Atria around my day job for 3 years previous. I am so grateful that this little business of mine, allows me the freedom to do the school run everyday, even if I moan when we're walking in the rain.

In October of 2024 I moved out of my little home office (which I am now banned from as it's become the games room) and in to a wonderful studio space in Staunton, Gloucestershire,

Fresh Tomatoes. I like 'em tinned, in sauce, out of a bottle, sliced and cooked - just don't make me bite into a whole fresh tomato. I've only ever met one person who feels the same and he became the Mr.
