Laxmi Handicrafts

You can find us over at No. 3-E 11 in the Sanjay Gandhi Colony part of Pratap Nagar. It’s a residential area mostly, so it feels a bit more relaxed than being in the middle of a big commercial hub. We have our workshop set up here where we spend most of our hours working on different pieces. There is usually a layer of dust from the wood or the fabrics we use, but that just comes with the territory of making things by hand. The light in the front room is pretty good in the afternoons, which helps when we are looking at the small details of a project. We don’t have any big flashy signs out front, just the address on the wall. Sometimes the local kids play in the street outside and we can hear them while we work. It’s a small team here, just a few of us who have learned how to handle the tools over many years. We keep the scrap materials in the corner to see if we can use them for something else later. Usually, the day ends when the light fades and we start packing up the tools for the next morning. It’s a simple way to spend the day, just making stuff and hoping it turns out the way we pictured it. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop around, just one that does honest work. We enjoy the process of seeing something go from a raw material to a finished product right here in our little space.
