What is Craft?
 Definition and Meaning
 The term "craft" denotes a skill, usually employed in
branches of the decorative arts (eg. ceramics), or in
an associated artistic practice (eg. lace-making). A

degree of "hands-on" craftsmanship (handicrafts)
rather than just skill with a machine.

Difference between Art & Craft:
  Art is a form of work that expresses emotions and expressions. Craft is a form
of work, which has a physical form just like in molding and carving.
  While Craft is quantified, Art seldom is.
  One can create duplicate craft forms, which is not possible with art.
  Art forms move people emotionally, whereas crafts attract people.
  Unlike craft, art is known to come out of the heart and soul. Crafts are a
product of the mind.
  In art, it is the emotions that flow out whereas in craft no emotion is involved.
  Art comes out from a person’s innate talents whereas craft is the result of
experience.

Pottery, metal works, glass works and jewelry are
some examples of craft works. Painting,
architecture and sculpture are examples of art
forms.

Art and Craft of KPK
 ‫پښتو‬::‫پښتانه‬::‫پښتونخواه‬::‫پښتونوالی‬

 In fine arts, Pashtoons have committed themselves to the
literature alone. Among the professions, they have adopted
only Agriculture. Other professions are generally ignored by
Pashtoons but professionals knowing Pashtoon mentality
have created arts in which Pashtoon character is reflected.
Pashtoon culture is patriarchal.

historical context, religious belief, complex functional
requirements of the site and the setting of a cultural
landmark.

regionalism, cultural, and epochal character of the architecture,
