A craft or trade is a leisure interest or a profession that requires particular skills and knowledge of skilled work. In a historical sense, particularly the middle 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 expected term craftsman is nowadays often replaced by artisan and rarely by craftsperson (craftspeople).

Historically, the more specialized crafts following high value products tended to concentrate in urban centers and formed guilds. The skill required by their professions and the dependence to be for ever and a day operational in the clash of goods often demanded a generally complex level of education, and craftsmen were usually in a more honored position than the peasantry in societal hierarchy. The households of craftsmen were not as self-sufficient as those of people engaged in agricultural accomplish and for that reason had to rely upon the squabble of goods. Some crafts, especially in areas such as pottery, woodworking, and the various stages of textile production, could be practiced on a part-time basis by those next vigorous in agriculture, and often formed part of village life.

This system of a stepwise admission to mastery of a craft, which includes the obtainment of a definite amount of education and the learning of skills, has survived in some countries of the world until today. But crafts have undergone deep structural changes before and during the become old of the Industrial Revolution. The bump production of goods by large-scale industry has limited crafts to present segments in which industry's modes of involved 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 adapt these to their customers' requirements or demands and, if necessary, to the environments of their customers. Thus, they participate in a definite separation of labour amid industry and craft.

The term crafts is often used to describe the associates of artistic practices within the intimates decorative arts that traditionally are defined by their association to enthusiastic 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.
