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.

What are the best craft items for science projects?
Q. My son needs to make a model of a DNA strand (double helix)for science class. Has anyone out there done this, and what are the best craft items to use for this type of model?
Asked by Cris Tee - Thu Jan 11 18:40:07 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. CANDY! Round candies like jaw breakers and lemon heads glued together in "globs" with a sugar and water paste make great molecules. While strands of Twizzlers wrapped around each other are great to connect them. Or for something normal little styrofoam balls painted to necessary colors work just as well with little rounded sticks you can get from anywhere (Michaels, Walmart, Target) work well too.

A. There is a woman that makes home made cards for my Coffee shop and other businesses around the area. She sells them to us for an amount and we mark it up so we can make profit also. They're really cute scrapbooky (is that a word haha) looking.
