The distinction between crafts and visual arts has always been blurred. Some experts talk of ‘the useful arts’ (of the craftspeople) as objects produced for everyday use, and the ‘decorative arts’ (of the visual artists) as those created for their own sake. Some other experts refer to the ‘plastic arts’, in which they include painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, and sometimes even fine glassware, jewellery and furniture. The use of artistic works in artisanal products is common. The use of craft techniques and skills by visual artists is also easily seen. A photograph of a craft product is considered to be a manifestation of visual art. There can be no sharp dividing line between crafts and visual arts.
