Creative Arts & Crafts

Our workshop is at 1546, Suiwalan, in the Darya Ganj area. If you know Darya Ganj, you know it’s a place where things are always moving. Suiwalan is full of narrow lanes and small shops, and we are tucked away in one of them. We spend our time making various arts and crafts by hand. It’s a dusty place because of all the materials we use, but it’s where the work happens. We don’t have a big showroom with bright lights. Instead, we have workbenches covered in glue, paint, and scraps of paper or wood. It’s a bit of a maze to get here, but we like the energy of the neighborhood. There’s always someone shouting outside or a cart being pushed past the door. We aren't a big factory with machines doing everything. It’s just a few of us using our hands and simple tools. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait a bit, but we just use that time to have some tea. We’ve been in this spot for years and the locals know what we do. We don’t have a mission statement or anything fancy. We just make things because that’s what we know how to do. It’s a simple, messy, and honest way to make a living. People who find us usually stay for a while to watch the process. That’s just life at Creative Arts & Crafts.
