Handicraft

Handicraft refers to handmade items created with skill and artistry, often reflecting cultural traditions and local materials. These products—such as textiles, pottery, woodwork, jewelry, and more—are typically crafted by artisans rather than mass-produced by machines. Handicrafts emphasize craftsmanship, uniqueness, and cultural heritage, often supporting local economies and preserving traditional techniques. They can be decorative or functional, and their quality depends on the artisan’s expertise. Handicrafts are valued not just for their aesthetic appeal, but also for their cultural significance and the sustainable practices involved in their creation.
