### Record Type:: [[Claims]] ValueofCraft:: [[Economic value of craft]] ### Outline Craft skills and mindsets are integral to product development in many industries, such as design, engineering, and manufacturing. The UK Craft Council report estimates that craft skills generate GBP 3.4 billion in value across industries. These industries included furniture, ceramics, textiles, luxury automotive, high-end plastics manufacturing, claymation films, and engineering. For example, 75% of Bentley’s production line staff use craft skills in paintwork, woodwork, leatherwork and needlework, and in more technical skills in engine production. Craft is an important provider of ideas, approaches, products and services for other economic activities and industries such as design, engineering and manufacturing. Peter Trott, Kyneton blacksmith in Australia, supplies high quality hand tools needed for other industries such as furniture and woodworking .
