From Global Knowledge Compendium of Traditional Crafts and Artisanal Techniques

Welcome to Craftpedia Asia

Craftpedia.wiki is a global compendium of traditional crafts and artisanal techniques from every corner of the world. This regional portal โ€“ Asia.Craftpedia.wiki โ€“ is dedicated to the rich, diverse, and time-honored craft traditions of the Asian continent.

To preserve, document, and share humanityโ€™s cultural heritage โ€” one handmade thread, one carved detail, one ancient technique at a time.
