These skills in the production of such carefully crafted pieces had provided communities with their very livelihood and in many ways became the building blocks of local commerce and culture. Craft could truly spin its own story as it has weaved its way through time, moving in an out from one generation to the next. Today, whilst many ancient crafts have long been on the decline, the inherent need for humans to employee their creative minds remains. Many believe in the importance of carrying on these craft based traditions to ensure they are not lost and in some places across the country there has been a revival in the learning of these skills with pop up craft centres, workshops and classes.
