We have had, however, some difficulty in
determining what exactly is meant by "handicrafts",
although we found this definition helpful:
"An individual product of usefulness and
beauty, created by hand on a small scale,
preferably by the same person from start
to finish, employing primarily the raw materials
of [his] own country and when possible of
[his] own locality." However we may define
the term, there can be no doubt that handicrafts
are an important item which is made by hand
using simple machine and hand ceramic tools
which reflect the cultural, traditional
and religious significance of that country.
Innovation plays a key role in the shaping
of handicrafts.
