BASKET WEAVING

JEWELRY MAKING
Since the early 16th century, jewelry making in the country has been in
existence. It is believed that the skill of our early Flipino in making jewelry is
adopted from their Asian neighbors like the Chinese.
Jewelry-making is a source of livelihood for the family, and it is traditionally
a home-based industry. The government gives support and attention to this
industry. With this support, the country became the top producer of gold.
These are the two major product categories that the fine jewelry industry in
the Philippines is engaged for production:
The first one is precious metal jewelry, made of gold and silver. It can be in
rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches, pendants, necklaces, tie pins, and cuff
links (with or without gemstones). Decorative items like spoons and forks and
office items such as pen and pen holders are also included in this category.
Another production in the jewelry industry is the pearls, precious stones, and
semi-precious stones. These are unworked or worked pearls. Colored
gemstones like emerald, rubies, and sapphires are also in this group.

POTTERY
Pots in the Philippines have different sizes, shapes, and designs. Their
designs are usually geometric with stylized nature motifs. Pottery became
more functional as the time passed by.
An example of this is palayok, which is used
for cooking. Banga and tapayan are used for
storing liquids. There is also the clay-made
stove or "kalan". The making of burnay
pottery in Ilocos Sur is still a living tradition
that continues up to the present.
WOODCARVING
The Philippine sculpture is the most familiar art form among Filipinos. The
most popular woodcarving in the Philippines is carvings of the anitos (nature
gods), santos (saints), and statues of Christ and the Blessed Mother.
