We have established seven categories to make it easier to sort and navigate through the list of products and services provided by craftspeople, associations, and other organisations connected to the field of cultural heritage. Please note that these categories are somewhat arbitrary and are mainly based on the materials used. More information about each category can be found below.

Pottery refers to products made from clay or porcelain. In this category, you will find kitchenware and other functional pieces for the home, such as decortive items and sculptures.
The woodworking category describes items for home decoration, such as solid wood furniture, wooden bowls, wooden carvings and other functional and decorative carpentry items. However, we also introduce items made using the weaving technique, as these are mainly made from wooden branches (e.g. baskets, bowls and trays).
Textile crafts cover a wide range of techniques connected to textiles, such as wool, thread and fabric. Examples include knitting, weaving, embroidery, quilting, sewing, felting, lacemaking and leatherworking. The items mainly represent clothing and home décor.
The culinary crafts category is reserved for handicrafts that are edible and connected to the culinary arts, e.g. herbal products, pastries, sweets, and fruit growing and processing.
Metalworking is the term used to describe any craft that uses metal to create unique products, such as copper engraving, blacksmithing and jewellery making.
Glassblowing is a specific craft for making kitchenware or art objects (sculptures), but we would also include other glass processing techniques such as stained glass, fusion, and glass jewellery making.
Stonemasonry encompasses crafts connected to the use of stone. This includes making stone walls, carving stone and processing it into useful products for the home or for building homes, such as stairs, portals and windows.
