Creativity, Art, Handicraft - Main Page
Handicraft,
also known as craftwork
or simply craft,
is a type of work where useful and decorative devices are
made completely by hand or using only simple tools. Usually
the term is applied to traditional means of making goods.
The individual artisanship of the items is a paramount
criterion, such items often have cultural and/or religious
significance. Items made by mass production or machines are
not handicrafts.
Usually, what distinguishes the term handicraft
from the frequently used
category Arts and Crafts is a matter of intent: handicrafted
items are intended to be used, worn, et cetera, having a
purpose beyond simple decoration. Handicrafts are
generally considered more traditional work, created as a
necessary part of daily life, whilst "Arts and Crafts"
implies more of a hobby pursuit and a
demonstration/perfection of a creative technique. In
practical terms, the categories have a great deal of
overlap.
