Some traditions do not die. They evolve with time. The art of creating articles of 
unparalleled beauty with hands is one such tradition, which has evolved. In the 
present times, where we are using factory-made items that are mass-produced, 
coming across a uniquely charming handcrafted item is like an oasis in the desert; 
rare and exquisite. Often, the value of such items cannot be measured in terms of 
money because of its enduring nature. These contain the love, passion, precision, 
and expectations of an artist who is at his/her best while creating the masterpiece.
It is often believed that God speaks to artists as they are creating their art and giving 
it a life of its own. An artist powerful at his/her best, walks in the shadow of God. 
The handcrafted pieces also have a lot of emotional value, particularly if they have 
been made and given to you by a loved one, like a sweater or a crochet. We always 
tend to hold it very dear to our hearts because these pieces are exclusive and carry 
the warmth of feelings.
Different Handcrafted Uniquely Designed Pieces
There can be different kinds of handcrafted items that we could die for, like a 
piece of flawlessly embellished cloth or an exquisitely crafted piece of jewelry. 
Sometimes, it can also be in the form of a delicate handcrafted decorative piece 
or item to add to the décor of your home. All of them have one thing in common- 
uniqueness. These items are created with unwavering dedication and 
commitment, making them masterpieces passed as heirlooms inside families.
Craftsmen driven by passion and pursuit of excellence render their creations a 
timeless feature. It bears the testimony of the craftsman regarding its technique 
and the material. He/she often puts years of research and experimentation before 
creating that masterpiece, which becomes a classic. Poets have chosen the term 
‘labor of love’ to define such pieces.
How is the Tradition Maintained?
You might ask how the tradition is maintained. The beautiful tradition of 
craftsmanship has been maintained for ages through learning from masters 
who are either a part of the same family or a different one. Some families have 
dedicated their lives in pursuit of artistic excellence through generations. At 
the same time, others have developed fine taste and acquired talent to learn it 
from the original masters. Whichever way it goes, art is preserved through 
them.
The relevance and timelessness of handcrafted can also be attributed to an 
appreciation of quality over quantity. It simply reinstates that people associate 
more value with unique handmade items instead of the mass-produced 
forgettable ones. Craftsmanship also promotes sustainability as a crucial 
factor, which is the trend of our times. Thriving for excellence in anything 
related to art and craft adds value, depth, and meaning to our experiences and 
often saves us from being mediocre and mundane. Thus, this tradition must be 
acknowledged and celebrated so that it can continue to enrich our lives.
