GUWAHATI, June 26: Pencil, the creative soul is northeast’s first of its kind, art and craft material exclusive showroom, opened at The Hub Mall, Bhangagarh, Guwahati. The showroom was inaugurated by Anubha Goyal, principal of Royal Global School and Waheeda Ahmed, an eminent artist. Both the guests inaugurated the showroom by lighting the lamp in presence of founder and owner Nupur Agarwala and Manisha More. It is a complete women entrepreneurship venture.
Speaking on the occasion Anubha Goyal said, “‘Pencil’ the name itself described the uniqueness of the showroom. In the showroom, every need of a student to a businessman can be fulfilled under one roof.” Speaking on the occasion Waheeda Ahmed said, “As an artist we always need to buy raw materials and it is very tough for us to go from one shop to another shop in various areas to buy materials for art and craft. But now I am so happy that two young and dynamic ladies came up with a totally new concept named ‘Pencil’ where we can buy everything related to our work under one roof.”
The idea of such a one-stop-shop for all art and craft needs has been founded and owned by Nupur Agarwala and Manisha More. During the inauguration, Nupur Agarwala said, “In our newly opened ‘Pencil’ showroom, we have house materials for fluid art, fabric art, decoupages, resin art, macrame, sketching, ink art, mix media, die cut, miniature, mandala, painting, crafting, school and office stationery and many more art forms. In short, we have everything related to art and craft.”
Manisha More said, “The showroom shall also undertake specialised art and craft classes for kids and adults, from time to time. This showroom shall not only motivate the budding artists, but also upgrade the availability of all such materials in Guwahati itself. She further said all the guests and artists who have visited the store, have appreciated the range of products being kept and termed it as an artist’s paradise.
