heritage craft
Ancestral artisan practice
Heritage craft refers to traditional skills and trades passed down through generations, typically involving handwork and artisanal techniques predating industrial manufacturing.
Blacksmithing, basket weaving, thatching, and hand-thrown pottery are heritage crafts.
The term emphasizes preservation of cultural knowledge and methods that might otherwise be lost: The museum offers workshops in heritage crafts like lace-making and cooperage.
