Universal Crafts

Universal Crafts is located back on Mandi Samiti Road. We are situated right behind Islamia Inter College, so we hear the bells and the kids all day long. Kaushan Nursing Home is also right nearby, so it’s a landmark people use to find us. The shop itself is usually a bit of a mess with materials everywhere. We do crafts, so there’s always bits of wood or fabric or whatever we’re using scattered around the workbench. We don’t have a big fancy showroom. It’s more of a working space where things actually get made. Sometimes the dust gets everywhere and we have to spend the whole afternoon just sweeping up. It’s hard work but it’s what we do. People come by when they need something specific made up. We don’t really have a big catalog or a website that works right. Mostly, people just come in and tell us what they’re looking for. We’ve been in this spot for a long time. The road can get a bit muddy when it rains, but we stay open regardless. It’s a quiet enough area most of the time, except when school lets out. We just keep our heads down and stay busy with the orders. It’s a small operation, just a couple of us doing the daily grind. We often lose our pens or measuring tapes under piles of sawdust, which is annoying, but we always find them eventually. We’re just here doing what we know how to do best, one day at a time.
