Mechanical, electrical, digital or any other kind of tools may be used as long as the direct manual contribution of the maker remains the most substantial component of the finished product. Handicrafts are made from raw materials that are ecologically sourced and/or recycled and can be commercially reproduced without infringing on the integrity of the work. Such products can be creative, culturally expressive, formally achieved, innovative and traditional at the same time.
