Arts and crafts today are fun, sometimes easy, sometimes complex pastimes that people usually enjoy at their leisure. Yet, centuries ago, craftsmanship was a way of life for many people who depended solely upon their particular skill to provide their livelihood. Working with one’s hands was an honorable way to make a living. However, with the advent of machinery, mass production, and the Industrial Revolution, the value of such skill was overshadowed by the lure of big business.
People have not lost their connection to such skills. Many crafts that exist today in some ways reflect an attention to craftsmanship and detail that echoes a pre-industrial way of life. Other arts and crafts are practiced by groups of friends who share a common interest. Still, some arts and crafts are favorite hobbies for people who like to work with their hands.
