 RECOGNIZING ARTS AND
CRAFTS

What is art and crafts?

The term "craft" denotes a skill, usually employed in branches of the

decorative arts (eg. ceramics), or in an associated artistic practice (eg. lace-making). A
key feature of crafts is that they involve a high degree of "hands-on" craftsmanship
(hence the colloquial term "handicrafts) rather than just skill with a machine.
Diffirent types of
arts and crafts
 TEXTILE

Textiles. Appliqué, Crocheting, Embroidery, Felt-making, Knitting, Lace-making,

Macramé, Quilting, Tapestry art, Weaving.

A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or

artificial fibers. Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibres of wool, flax, cotton,
hemp, or other materials to produce long strands. Textiles are formed by
weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, tatting, felting, or braiding.
 Applique’

Appliqué is ornamental needlework in which pieces of fabric in different

shapes and patterns are sewn or stuck onto a larger piece to form a
picture or pattern. It is commonly used as decoration, especially on
garments. The technique is accomplished either by hand or machine.
Applique’
 Crocheting

Crochet is a process of creating textiles by using a crochet hook to

interlock loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials. The name is
derived from the French term crochet, meaning 'small hook'. Hooks can be
made from a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, bamboo, or plastic.

 Paper Crafts
Paper Crafts

As the name implies, paper crafts have to do with paper. Many kids get
their first introduction to paper crafts in pre-school when they use carved
potatoes to hand print designs on construction paper. The grown-up version
of this is wood and linoleum engraving. Other paper crafts include papier-
mache, calligraphy, and papermaking.
 Knitting

Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or

fabric; it is used in many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand
or by machine. Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat
or in the round. There are usually many active stitches on the knitting
needle at one time.

 Embroidery

to decorate cloth or clothing with patterns or pictures

sewn directly onto the material, or to create a pattern or picture in such
a way.
 Decorative Crafts
Decorative crafts

Furniture making, metalwork, stenciling, stained glass, gilding, spongeware,

and basketry all fall into the category of decorative crafts. This category
also includes toy making and other arts—anything where the final product
is a piece of decor. Unlike fine art, decorative art typically has some
element of utility to it. A piece of furniture, for example, may be beautiful
in its own right—but its main function is to provide a place to sit.
 Fashion Crafts

This craft encompasses all the elements of dressing the human body:
jewelry, hats, leatherwork (shoes, belts, handbags), and garments. It will
naturally intersect with other craft types since jewelry can be made
through metalworking and garments are fabricated by sewing—which can
be classified as a textile craft.

 Jewelry
Jewelry

Includes metalwork involving processes like embossing, repoussé

work, engraving, enamelling (types include champlevé, basse
taille, cloisonné, plique-à-jour), granulation and filigree decoration.

 Functional Crafts

Many of the four other types of crafts can also be classified as

functional. For example, decorative pottery—including serving
platters and utensils—is often made with components that are
okay for people to eat from. Many furniture crafts are primarily
functional but can also be quite decorative.
