Prathima'S Arts & Crafts

Our shop is at No. 210 on Brigade Road. If you know this area, you know it is always moving. There is so much foot traffic and noise from the street, but once you step inside, it feels a bit different. We have been here for a long time, surrounded by all sorts of other businesses. It is a narrow space, so we have to use every inch of the walls for the arts and crafts supplies. We have shelves reaching almost to the ceiling. Sometimes it is hard to find exactly what you are looking for, but we usually know where it is buried. We spend most of our days helping people pick out colors or tools. It is a lot of standing and moving boxes around. The weekends are the busiest times because of the location. We have seen Brigade Road change so much over the years, with new shops opening and others closing down. We are still here, doing our thing. It gets a bit dusty with all the paper and fabric around. We don't have a big corporate team, just us and a couple of helpers who like art. We handle the inventory ourselves and try to keep up with what people are asking for. It is a busy life being in the heart of the city, but we like the energy. We just keep stocking the things people need for their projects.
