Hello, my name is Farhan, and I am a proud metal craftsman from India. My story is one of tradition, heritage, and a deep love for creating something meaningful with my hands.
I come from a family of artisans. My father and grandfather spent their lives shaping metal into beautiful works of art, and as a young boy, I would sit quietly, mesmerized by the rhythmic sound of hammers on brass late into the night. Watching them transform plain sheets of metal into intricate designs wasn’t just inspiring—it was magical. Even then, I knew I wanted to carry this legacy forward, and today, every piece I create is my way of honoring them.
For over 15 years now, I’ve specialized in crafting T-lights and votives. Each piece starts as a simple sheet of brass, copper, or iron, but as I cut, shape, and etch it, it transforms into something unique. I often carve traditional Mughal floral patterns into my designs—patterns inspired by my heritage, filled with history and meaning. When a candle is lit inside one of my creations, the soft glow of light dances through the intricate patterns, filling your home with a sense of warmth and connection to my world.
Joining Crafts and Fair Market has been life-changing. Before this, I had never heard about fair wages or sustainable crafting practices. I learned how to make my work more meaningful—not just for myself but for those who choose to bring it into their homes. I’ve had the privilege of meeting buyers from across the world who value and admire what I do, and that recognition has given me the freedom to dream bigger.
Today, because of the support I’ve received, I can provide something my father only dreamed of—I can send my children to school. This stability has allowed me to grow as an artisan. I’ve started experimenting with new techniques and finishes, blending traditional designs with modern touches like antique brass, silver plating, and color patinas. Every piece I create is a bridge between my rich heritage and contemporary design, offering something timeless yet fresh for your home.
When you choose one of my creations, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a family, a tradition, and a way of life. You’re helping me keep this craft alive while providing a better future for my children. Thank you for letting a part of my story light up your home. It means more to me than words can express.
