HANDICRAFTS
from Wikipedia:
A handicraft, sometimes more precisely expressed as artisanal handicraft or handmade, is any of a wide variety of types of work where useful and decorative objects are made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. It is a traditional main sector of craft and applies to a wide range of creative and design activities that are related to making things with one’s hands and skill, including work with textiles, moldable and rigid materials, paper, plant fibers, etc. One of the world’s oldest handicraft is Dhokra; this is a sort of metal casting that has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. Usually, the term is applied to traditional techniques of creating items (whether for personal use or as products) that are both practical and aesthetic. Handicraft industries are those that produce things with hands to meet the needs of the people in their locality. Machines are not used
Handicrafts today
Although since the 19th century it has represented a minority component of production, craftsmanship has found its role and vitality over the past 50 years, paradoxically thanks to the extraordinary development of technological civilization.
More and more surrounded by mass-produced objects – that is, the same, standardized – many of us feel the need for original, personalized objects, produced with natural materials, be they furniture, clothes, bags or objects.
This has revitalized a vast sector, ranging from wood, metal and glass crafts to clothing, from upholstery to embroidery, from the natural production of food to their artisan preparation.
