Crafts are skilled, hands-on activities in the practical arts. They can be a trade or a specific art form. They often use natural materials like wood, clay, glass, textiles, and metal, and can produce useful items or decorative works. A craft is a way to express ideas or culture through physical work done mainly by hand. It starts with creativity and intentional design, and is built through practice and techniques. Crafts cover many areas, such as pottery, weaving, wood and metal work, jewelry, cloth arts, and paper crafts. Good craftsmanship means being skilled, dexterous, and experienced.
