Artesania

Artesania is located at 319 HSR Layout. It’s a place where we keep a lot of different things we've collected or made. The shop floor is often a bit crowded because we keep bringing in new items before the old ones are gone. We spend our days arranging displays or talking to people who wander in from the neighborhood. HSR is a nice place to be, and we've gotten to know a lot of the folks who live around here. We aren't a big chain store with everything in plastic boxes. Most of what we have has a bit of character, maybe even a few scratches here and there. We don't have a strict dress code or a big corporate manual. If the sun is out, the front of the shop looks great, but when it rains, we're usually running around trying to make sure nothing near the door gets wet. Sometimes we get projects that take way longer than they should, and the back room gets messy with tools and scraps. We just like making things look a certain way. It’s not a high-pressure environment. People come in to look around and we let them be. We don’t do big sales pitches. If someone likes something, they buy it. That’s pretty much how we’ve always done things here. It’s just a small spot for people who appreciate stuff that isn't mass-produced and has a bit of a story.
