Welcome to AccessArt: Craft
Craft is about skilful making, where working with materials and enjoying the process are just as important as the final outcome. Many crafts are rooted in tradition and are connected to cultural stories and histories. You can see craft in areas such as ceramics, woodworking, textiles, and many other creative practices.
Today, craft is also explored in contemporary ways, mixing traditional techniques with new ideas and creative approaches.
