What is Handmade?

In the context of this community, "handmade" refers to any creative work that is primarily crafted or produced by hand, involving the skill, artistry, and personal touch of the creator.

While the use of tools is permitted and often necessary to aid in the artistic process, the emphasis remains on the hands-on involvement of the artisan.

Handmade items can encompass a diverse array of mediums and techniques, including but not limited to traditional crafts, visual arts, textiles, sculptures, mixed media, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, paper art, and more.
