What is Fine Craft
What is the difference between Fine Craft and Fine Art?
Fine craft refers to objects primarily functional and utilitarian and created using traditional or contemporary techniques such as pottery, weaving, woodworking, metalworking, or glassblowing. The emphasis is often on the skill and technique of the craftsperson, and the aesthetic value of the object is secondary to its function.
Fine art, on the other hand, is more focused on creating works of aesthetic value, rather than practical use. This can include painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and installation art, among other forms. Fine art often emphasizes individual expression and creativity, and the value of the work is largely based on its cultural, historical, and intellectual significance.
While there is some overlap between the two categories, the distinction between fine craft and fine art is often based on the intended purpose of the object, as well as the level of skill and creativity involved in its creation.
