"I have worked with you since 2004 and you have given me a platform to exhibit my craft to the whole world. My stone carvings are appreciated and your purchases helped me to achieve success in life.
"My work increased and I was able to have a stable income. This financial stability inspired my workers. I was able to create more designs and sell more. At the beginning, I had only five or six people assisting me in my workshop. Now I have fifteen artisans working with me. My two sons and grandson also work with me.
"The biggest challenge that we have to face is to get the materials due to lack of money. We import alabaster marble from Italy, real marble and soapstone from Makrana in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Also, working in a small space to complete a big order is a challenge in itself. With our work expanding, now we need more space. We are looking forward to a good and bigger place for our workshop.
"Along with the Uttar Pradesh State Award in 1982, I was honored with the Braj Ratan Award in 1993 for stonework. The Braj Ratan Award is a small scale industry award given by the Udyog Vibhag, Uttar Pradesh.
"I am associated with a government certified center where I have trained 50 to 60 workers to date.
"I would like to thank everyone for your support and ask you to continue supporting us by buying our designs. This help boast our helpers' morale and also helps all of us to lead a better life.
Original Artisan Story
"Hello. My name is Gulam Rasool and I was born in the year 1940. My city is so rich in traditional marble sculpting that anyone visiting would never get enough of the exotic beauty and artistic work of the people here. I belong to a family who has a long relationship with the art of sculpting marble. I became interested in this rich work and started helping my father. My father was an expert in marble sculpting and jali, or 'openwork.' He was honored with the state award for excellence in marble sculpting in 1979. I learned a lot from him and chose to follow his path.
"After working with my father for a long time, I ventured out on my own. I experimented with different designs and gave a new dimension to the traditional styles. At that time, there were very few tourists coming to India and all we got from a hard day's work were a few bucks from selling souvenir items made of soapstone. Over the years, however, things have changed as far as our work's popularity is concerned. More and more tourists come to India to learn about our exquisite art. And this has helped artisans a lot.
"After years of hard work, I was honored with a state award for excellence in marble handicrafts. Today, I am proud to mention that I have earned a name for myself in the art of jali work. The opportunity to work with you is unique and I am delighted to be associated with you. Now I can show my work to the world."

TashaFabulous owls to delight our home :)
This beautifully decorated package made me smile as I noted the heft of the carving inside, and I couldn't wait to unwrap my new treasure. The substantial striated stone and intricate character carving makes this sculpture a unique piece of art. The artisan is truly gifted and shares such a fine skill via the likable faces of wise owls. I am about to order several more for gifts.

Jamesgreat home
looks amazing and works beautifully, my wax has melted all over and has created an almost jade like finish. i get compliments if i leave it out when people come over. just take the top off and drop a tea light in and with a match or stick burner light it up.

This lady is mind boggling! I love elephants and enjoy supporting craftsmen and artisans - people with vision who work with their hands.

CatherineGift for bridesmaid
I love love love the work of this artist. These handcrafted jali soapstone treasures were gifts for my bridesmaids and Maid of Honour at our wedding. I wanted to thank my ladies with something that took human work and consideration and that shared some natural beauty of our world. I was so glad to be able to give back to the artist too. They are gorgeous, beautifully conceived and crafted. Forever grateful!
S
ShirleyBeautiful, it's to be treasured
Amazing, the talent and patience to make such an intricate and beatiful thing. Bigger than expected, and has hinged lid. I am going to buy other boxes from this collection. I have a suggestion for the artist (and any of the artists selling here): if there is sufficient space and doesn't affect your art, carve or write your name, initials, or a symbol, into your finished work. You should be recognized for your talent and exfraordinary skill.

JudithLove this piece. It is now part of my collection.
One word says it all---Majestic!

An attractive way to store items. Right now I keep it open housing bottles of essential oils (atop a lining of paper towels). Every day it is beautiful to behold. Ordered a second different box because of the quality.

I bought this item as a birthday gift for one of my Sisters. She absolutely loved it. I was not able to see it in person right away since we live in different States, but when I did see it, I wished I had ordered one for myself! The design is intricate, and very well done.

SandraGorgeous!!!
I received this jewelry box today and I'm so happy with it! It's larger than I expected and much heavier. The carving on this box is absolutely beautiful. Mr. Golam Rasool is a skilled and talented artist, and I plan on collecting more of his beautiful creations. Now I have to decide which will be my next treasure!
