Craft villages

Craft villages are specialized settlements where artisans and craftsmen live and work together, focusing on traditional skills and handmade products. These villages often develop around specific crafts, such as pottery, weaving, woodwork, or metalwork, preserving cultural heritage and promoting skill exchange. They typically feature workshops, markets, and training centers, attracting visitors and supporting local economies. By concentrating craftsmanship in one area, craft villages help sustain traditions, foster innovation, and boost tourism, all while maintaining a sense of community and cultural identity.
