The Handicraft workshop is the first space of this ticketed Shikara ride along Dal Lake. A canal runs through the island cutting the space into two halves while the entire structure sits on top of the canal. A tourist passing through this can will witness a live exhibition of how the handicrafts and handlooms are made. Hidden in the designed alcoves and niches, behind translucent curtains - where one can only see their hands working - sit the men and women of the tribe, working endlessly. The transparent walls that surround the niches, fill the workspace with light.

The Shop is part of the last leg of the journey. After having seen how the handicrafts are made and what the history behind them is, the tourists can now visit the shop and see their creations come to life. Right from picking the souvenir, deciding it’s colours and weave, the tourists can collect their gifts from the shop as well as buy new items on display. The space is designed keeping in mind the duel functions over the year. The rotating panels that hold all the items can be pushed back to restore the space for the construction of the shikaras. The Kahwa kiosk outside also acts as a viewing deck where tourists can take their kahwas and baked bread to the serenity of dal lake.
