CRAFT VILLAGE

 

Crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to

making things with one's own hands and skill. These can be sub-divided into

handicrafts or "traditional crafts" (doing things the old way) and "the rest".

Some crafts have been practised for centuries while others are modern

inventions or popularisations of crafts which were originally practised in a

very small geographic area.
