Handicrafts

Handicrafts are artistic creations made by hand, often using traditional techniques passed down through generations. They reflect the cultural heritage, creativity, and craftsmanship of a community or region. Common materials used include wood, clay, metal, fabric, and natural fibers, and the range of items includes pottery, embroidery, weaving, jewelry, sculptures, and decorative items. Handicrafts are not only functional or decorative, but they also carry cultural significance and often tell stories of local traditions and lifestyles. In addition to preserving cultural identity, handicrafts support local economies and provide livelihoods to artisans around the world
