A Few Words About

How it Started

Hello, I’m Manasa Boggaram. Thank you for stopping by our website. Here I am, answering some of the most commonly asked questions about myself and my little venture.

Do you have a background in fine arts?

No, I studied Journalism.

You must have been great at art and crafts since childhood?

Nope. I started dabbling with arts and crafts only in 2017 when I started drawing mandalas. I was quite surprised with my own ability and I slowly discovered a skill I never knew I possessed. I couldn’t think I was good with arts and crafts, partly because I tanked the arts section in my career aptitude test after high school and partly because I never really explored this side of me.

So when I conceptualised the idea to start this studio, I was very particular about creating a space where people wouldn’t feel intimidated or nervous to dabble with art and craft. I wanted to help people explore their creative side and enjoy the process of creating something new, rather than worry about the end result.

So, how did you come up with this idea?

I always enjoyed working out of cafes and one day I just wondered to myself about how amazing it would be, to have a space where I could go and make my mandalas. And that was my light bulb moment! I always had an entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to start something that I could proudly call my own. Thus began my journey towards creating The Firefly Terrace.

My journey with The Firefly Terrace thus far, has been all things wonderful. When I look back, I never imagined that people would love the studio the way they do. It feels extremely gratifying to hear people say that this is an extremely unique concept, or that we helped them get back to painting and crafting, or simply that we gave them a fun experience. I hope to continue growing The Firefly Terrace into a brand that people love and relate with, when it comes to all things DIY arts and crafts. What are you waiting for? Come down and create your masterpiece!
