A craft is a skill, especially involving practical arts. It may refer to a trade or particular art. The term is often used as part of a longer word (and also in the plural). For example, a craft-brother is a fellow worker in a particular trade and a craft-guild is, historically, a guild of workers in the same trade. See some further examples below. The term is often used to describe the family of artistic practices within the decorative arts that traditionally are defined by their relationship to functional or utilitarian products (such as sculptural forms in the vessel tradition) or by their use of such natural media as wood, clay, glass, textiles, and metal. Crafts practiced by independent artists working alone or in small groups are often referred to as studio craft. Studio craft includes studio pottery, metal work, weaving, wood turning and other forms of wood working, glass blowing, and glass art. A craft fair is an organized event to display crafts by a number of exhibitors. Folk art follows craft traditions, in contrast to fine art or "high art". Both Freemasonry and Wicca are known as 'The Craft' by their adherents. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the definition of an arts and crafts cottage or home? Q. Does anyone know the true meaning of "arts and crafts cottage/home?" I know what the arts and crafts movement was but I keep seeing new and old houses with this description and it does not seem to be the same as the movement. Thanks for your answers!! Asked by Loodles - Fri May 4 21:38:55 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. An arts-and-crafts home is one that was built during the architectural era of the same name. A new house, therefore, cannot be genuine arts-and-crafts, but it can be in the arts-and-crafts style. The distinguishing characteristic is the "eyebrow" style porch. remember the house in "Roseanne" with the low-roofed open porch? Like that.

Q. I want some good crafts that I can make or sew with felt. The only thing I made with them are stuffed animals, I want some other different things I can make with them. Thanks for any suggestions. Asked by *~FaNtAsTiC tHiNgS~* - Fri Aug 3 19:10:21 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I want to entertain you with the idea of felt sewing other than puppets as mentioned. There are some felt projects you can do with a needle made for passing yarns through felt fabrics that locks the fibers together. They make beautiful scarves, purses, pillows, etc. with felt. You can craft flowers, animals, etc. with this burred looking needle. Beautiful! I like to add beads or put flower beads together and then add leaf beads to make a cute little pillow for a little girls room or sometimes I just cut the felf into letters & house, animal, trees, clouds, cars, etc. and let the small fingers use them on the felt board to make their own stuff. There is a crafting book on felt projects. Look for it on the net or your local crafting… [cont.] Answered by donna D - Sat Aug 4 00:16:20 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Crafts"
