Mariyam Handicraft

Mariyam Handicraft is situated at P-111 Khawaja Meer Dard. We are right by Sukar Ki Dandi, which is very close to Zakir Hussain College. If you know the area, you know it is always humming with students and locals. Our shop is filled with handmade things. There is wood, cloth, and all sorts of materials scattered around. It smells like sawdust and old fabric in here. We spend our days making items that people can use in their homes or give as gifts. It is slow work because you can't rush these things by hand. Sometimes a piece doesn't turn out right and we have to start over. That is just how it goes with handicrafts. We don't have a shiny storefront. It is more of a workshop where people can see us working. The light in the back room is a bit dim but it works for us. We have been in this spot for a long time. The college kids often stop by to look at the trinkets. We don't do big advertisements or anything fancy. People find us because they like what we make or they heard about us from a friend. It is a small operation. We keep the doors open and hope people find something they like among the piles of work. We usually close up when the street lights come on and the area gets a bit more peaceful for the night.
