Hand Crafts Club

Hand Crafts Club

This is the club for creative people and lovers of using simple and various non-expensive materials to make items by hand that are both decorative and useful.

Handicrafts are items that are constructed by hand using simple tools rather than mass production methods and equipment. While very similar to basic arts and crafts, there is one key difference with handicrafts. The items produced as a result of the efforts are designed for a specific function or use as well as being ornamental in nature. All types of handcrafts rely on the vision and dexterity of the individual to produce the desired result rather than some type of production machinery.

Handcraft teaches patience, perseverance and concentration. Creating something by hand satisfies a sense of achievement, boosting self confidence and improving hand dexterity. Intelligent creativity and handcraft are inclusive. It is also an opportunity for some fun and socializing.
