A craft or trade is a leisure interest or a profession that requires particular skills and knowledge of bright 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 established term craftsman is nowadays often replaced by artisan and rarely by craftsperson (craftspeople).

Historically, the more specialized crafts later than high value products tended to concentrate in urban centers and formed guilds. The capability required by their professions and the habit to be for ever and a day committed in the squabble of goods often demanded a generally higher level of education, and craftsmen were usually in a more privileged slope than the peasantry in societal hierarchy. The households of craftsmen were not as self-sufficient as those of people engaged in agricultural put on an act and thus had to rely upon the difference of opinion of goods. Some crafts, especially in areas such as pottery, woodworking, and the various stages of textile production, could be skilled upon a part-time basis by those afterward in force in agriculture, and often formed share of village life.

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

This system of a stepwise contact to mastery of a craft, which includes the obtainment of a distinct 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 epoch of the Industrial Revolution. The growth production of goods by large-scale industry has limited crafts to spread around segments in which industry's modes of enthusiastic 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 make 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 positive estrangement of labour between industry and craft.

The term crafts is often used to picture the intimates of artistic practices within the associates decorative arts that traditionally are defined by their attachment to working 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.

The primary performer allied later than the goings-on is William Morris, whose take action was reinforced similar to writings from John Ruskin.
