Pravin Arts

Our shop is tucked away in Chandrika Apartment, right on Manchubhai Road. If you know where Rana Cottage is in Malad East, you're pretty close to us. It’s on the third floor, so it’s not exactly a place people just wander into from the street. Mostly, people come here because they heard about us from a neighbor. We do various types of art work and framing. The space is a bit small and usually has scraps of paper or wood shavings on the floor, but that's what happens when you're busy making things. We’ve been in this part of Malad for a while now. Some days are quiet, and other days we have piles of frames stacked up against the walls. We don't use any high-tech systems for tracking orders, just a thick notebook and a pen. It works for us. Sometimes it takes a little longer to finish a piece if we’re waiting for specific materials to arrive, but we always call once it’s ready. It isn't a gallery; it's more of a workspace where stuff actually gets made. We like being near the residential side of the area because the people are friendly. We’ve fixed up old photos and framed a lot of kid’s school certificates over the years. It’s just what we do here in No. 303. Usually, there's a radio playing in the corner while we work. It keeps the atmosphere light even when there is a lot of cutting to do.
