Iranian handicrafts
The United Nations (UNESCO) has defined the description of handicrafts. “Handicrafts refer to products that are produced by a craftsman artist entirely by hand or with the help of simple or mechanical tools, as long as the share of the artist’s hands is not less than auxiliary tools.”
Handicrafts are an urgent need for every country and culture and represent a part of their history and way of life. Iran has a civilization of 5000 years and has a rich tradition and culture. We see a lot of variety of arts and crafts in it. Persian handicraft suppliers produce different artistic handicrafts in different parts of Iran.
History of handicraft exports
Persian handicraft suppliers export these artworks to many countries. Their diversity and lack of similarities to any other artwork, have led them to be exported to developed countries; where showing a very high desire to buy these industries. Iranian artists, using the mythological and historical symbols of our country and its reflection in handicrafts, have played a very decisive role in making the demand for these works.
Iran is currently the 31st exporter of handicrafts in the world; and out of 400 known handicrafts, 300 are produced in Iran, most of which are native to the country. Handicrafts are called handicrafts because all their processes (or most of them) are produced by hand. But none of the handicrafts are similar to each other.
For example, a product may be produced by an artisan and the same product by another craftsman; they can be completely different from each other, and this dissimilarity is very important. This is one of the unique features of handicrafts. Because of this, creativity and initiative are very important in Persian handicraft suppliers.
