A craft or trade is a endeavor or a profession that requires particular skills and knowledge of intelligent work. In a historical sense, particularly the center Ages and earlier, the term is usually applied to people occupied in small-scale production of goods, or their maintenance, for example by tinkers. The customary term craftsman is nowadays often replaced by artisan and rarely by craftsperson (craftspeople).

Historically, the more specialized crafts taking into account high value products tended to concentrate in urban centers and formed guilds. The facility required by their professions and the infatuation to be every time keen in the clash of goods often demanded a generally progressive level of education, and craftsmen were usually in a more lucky point of view than the peasantry in societal hierarchy. The households of craftsmen were not as self-sufficient as those of people engaged in agricultural piece of legislation and so had to rely upon the quarrel of goods. Some crafts, especially in areas such as pottery, woodworking, and the various stages of textile production, could be skilled on a part-time basis by those after that energetic in agriculture, and often formed share of village life.

Once an apprentice of a craft had done his apprenticeship, he would become a journeyman searching for a place to set happening his own shop and make a living. After he set occurring his own shop, he could after that call himself a master of his craft.

But crafts have undergone deep structural changes since and during the times of the Industrial Revolution. The increase production of goods by large-scale industry has limited crafts to shout out segments in which industry's modes of effective or its mass-produced goods would not or cannot satisfy the preferences of potential buyers. Moreover, as an repercussion of these changes, craftspeople today increasingly create use of semi-finished components or materials and acclimatize these to their customers' requirements or demands and, if necessary, to the environments of their customers. Thus, they participate in a certain estrangement of labour in the midst of industry and craft.

The term crafts is often used to describe the family of artistic practices within the intimates decorative arts that traditionally are defined by their connection to operational or utilitarian products (such as sculptural forms in the vessel tradition) or by their use of such natural media as wood, clay, ceramics, glass, textiles, and metal.
