Calcutta Handicraft

Calcutta Handicraft is tucked away in Ananda Pally, which is right near Jadavpur University. Our address is 203, and it is a place we have called home for a long time. Being so close to the university means there are always students and people walking around. It gives the whole area a lot of life. Our workshop isn't very large, but we make it work for us. There are usually piles of materials everywhere and the smell of glue or wood depending on what we are doing that day. We aren't a big factory or anything. It is just a few of us who know how to make things with our hands. We don't follow a strict corporate schedule here. We come in, see what needs to be finished, and get to it. Sometimes we stay late when we have a lot of orders, and other times we take it easy. We have been doing this for years, so we don't really think much about it anymore. It is just what we do. The building is an old one, like many others in this part of Kolkata. It has some character, even if the walls could use a bit of paint. We like the neighborhood because it is friendly and neighbors stop by to chat sometimes. We don't have a fancy showroom. If you want to see what we are doing, you just have to come into the workspace.
