Crafting includes a variety of art forms, from sculpture and metalwork to knitting and printing. These crafts can all be divided into five basic types based on their form and purpose: textile, decorative, paper, functional, and fashion crafts. 01 of 05 Textile Crafts Reza Estakhrian/Getty Images These include any type of craft where you work with fabric, yarn, or surface design. Some examples are knitting, quilting, appliqué, weaving, and dyeing. Many of these could obviously also fall into the decorative or fashion crafts categories since the finished goods are often sold as sweaters or wall hangings. However, they are technically textile crafts since they all start with the fabric. Other examples of textile crafts include the Japanese art of boro, a form of decorative repair that involves combining textiles from different sources. Japanese decorative stitching is known as sashiko. 02 of 05 Paper Crafts As the name implies, paper crafts have to do with paper. Many kids get their first introduction to paper crafts in pre-school when they use carved potatoes to hand print designs on construction paper. The grown-up version of this is wood and linoleum engraving. Other paper crafts include papier-mache, calligraphy, and papermaking. 03 of 05 Decorative Crafts Furniture making, metalwork, stenciling, stained glass, gilding, spongeware, and basketry all fall into the category of decorative crafts. This category also includes toy making and other arts—anything where the final product is a piece of decor. Unlike fine art, decorative art typically has some element of utility to it. A piece of furniture, for example, may be beautiful in its own right—but its main function is to provide a place to sit. Combining furniture-making with metalwork is a popular trend. Arts and crafts and home décor magazines often showcase furniture constructed from wood but with metalwork legs or trim. The metalwork tends to be very industrial-looking but there is a good amount of ornate metalwork included as well. 04 of 05 Fashion Crafts This craft encompasses all the elements of dressing the human body: jewelry, hats, leatherwork (shoes, belts, handbags), and garments. It will naturally intersect with other craft types since jewelry can be made through metalworking and garments are fabricated by sewing—which can be classified as a textile craft. Fashion crafts involve a variety of materials, from soft fabrics such as cotton, linen, and wool to sturdier materials such as nylon, canvas, and leather. Sewing is just one part of making a garment; design and construction of clothing is a multi-step process that requires precise technique and careful attention to detail.

Why Do Timber Prices Vary By Region?

Timber prices are directly affected by the forces of supply and demand. If mills need wood, prices go up. If mills don’t need wood, prices go down. However, there are several other factors that influence the price of timber by region: Mills – Mills are the foundation of established timber markets, because they determine what products can be bought and sold. Mills specialize in processing certain types of wood and determine the price they’re willing to pay. If a landowner only has access to one mill in the area and that mill only produces one type of product, there won’t be very many options in creating competition.
