Ganajand Art & Crafts

If you head down to the Boranada Industrial Area, you’ll find us at G-581 in the Epip zone. It’s a pretty standard industrial shed, nothing too special to look at from the outside, but inside we stay busy with our art and craft work. We started this because we liked working with our hands and there seemed to be a need for it. The space is filled with wood scraps, fabric, and whatever else we are using that week. It gets a bit noisy when the machines are running, so we usually have to shout a bit to hear each other. We’ve got a handful of workers who have been with us since the beginning. They know the routine well. Some days the power goes out and we have to wait a bit, but that’s just life in this part of town. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything like that. Most of our work comes from people who have heard about us through word of mouth. It’s a practical way to run a business. We focus on the items we make and try not to get distracted by too many other things. The floor is usually covered in sawdust by noon, but we sweep it up before heading home. It's just honest work. We like the area because it’s easy for the trucks to come and go.
