Gift Making Workshop

Our place is at Door No. 322 right on Velachery Main Road. If you know Velachery, you know how the traffic can get out there. The Gift Making Workshop is usually a bit of a mess, honestly. There is glitter, paper scraps, and glue everywhere most of the time. We do a lot of the work by hand, so it’s never going to be a perfectly clean studio. People stop by often because we are right on the main road. It’s a small space, so when three or four people are working at once, it gets a bit tight. We’ve been here for a while now. Some days are quieter than others, but around the holidays or wedding season, it’s basically non-stop. We don't have a fancy showroom. Most people just come in and see us working on whatever is on the table that day. The noise from the street is always there, but you get used to it after a week or two. We just like making things. It’s practical work. Sometimes we run out of a certain color of ribbon and someone has to run out to the shops nearby. It’s not a big corporate operation. It’s just a local workshop where we try to do a good job with our hands. We drink a lot of tea and listen to the radio while we work. It’s a simple setup but it works for us. We just keep our heads down and keep crafting for the local folks.
