craft exhibitions

Handmade goods displays

Craft exhibitions are organized displays of handmade objects—pottery, textiles, woodwork, metalwork, glassware, and similar artisan work.

Unlike art exhibitions focused on painting or sculpture, craft exhibitions emphasize skilled handiwork and traditional techniques: The craft exhibition featured quilts from three generations of Appalachian weavers.

They may be competitive, with prizes awarded, or purely celebratory.
