Handicrafts are unique illustrations of a specific culture or community through local artistry and materials.
Handicraft production is a significant form of employment in many developing countries and often a major part of the export economy. Globalization along with growing markets for home decor products—especially in the United States, Canada, and Europe—also creates many new opportunities. Particularly, the demand for “cultural goods” is predicted to grow with rising international tourism and an increasing basis on interior decoration, and as a reaction to the uniformity of mass-produced products.
