craft revival
Handmade skills returning
Craft revival refers to renewed interest in traditional handmaking skills—weaving, pottery, woodworking, blacksmithing—typically as a reaction against mass production or digital culture.
The term captures both organized movements and broader cultural shifts toward artisanal goods and hands-on making: The craft revival has brought new life to dying trades.
Often linked to concerns about sustainability, authenticity, or preserving heritage techniques.
