Sharma Handicrafts

Over at No. 4 Ram Gali, you’ll find Sharma Handicrafts tucked away in Kt. Ahluwalia. It’s not a huge place, mostly just a workshop where we get things done by hand. We spend our mornings sorting through materials and seeing what needs finishing. The floor usually has some wood shavings or bits of thread lying around depending on what we are making that day. It’s a bit dusty, honestly. We’ve been working out of this spot for years and the neighbors know us by the sounds of the tools. We don’t use big machines for everything because we like doing it ourselves. It takes longer that way, but it feels right. Sometimes a piece doesn't turn out perfect, so we just start over. People come by when they need something specific for their house or a gift. We don't do much advertising; word of mouth in the lane usually does the job. Ram Gali can get pretty narrow and busy, but we like the energy here. There’s always someone popping in to say hello or check on an order. It’s a family-run setup, so someone is always around to help out. We just focus on the craft and keep the shop open as long as the sun is up. It’s a simple life, making things that people actually use in their homes. Most people appreciate that we don't rush the work just to sell more.
