Handicraft, also known as craftwork or simply craft, is a type of work where useful

and decorative devices are made completely by hand or using only simple tools. Usually
the term is applied to traditional means of making goods. The individual artisanship of
the items is a paramount criterion, such items often have cultural and/or religious
significance. Items made by mass production or machines are not handicrafts.

Handicrafts of Bangladesh are a very useful for the development of our economy if we
actually can implement it properly.we always forget or show neglency to this part of our
culture by which actually we can make a good identity of our country to this world if we
give a bit effort to improvise this handicraft sector.

Some very important handicrafts of our country are:

# Pottery: Historically the production of pottery has been a characteristic of human

activity in most areas of the world. Over time, each culture has established terms which
define tools, ingredients and production techniques. Terms currently in use may be
derived from a variety of pottery traditions. Pottery is a very popular handicraft in
Bangladesh.Pottery is the ceramic ware made by potters. Major types of pottery
includes jugs,flower vas,bowls etc. The places where such wares are made are called
potteries. Pottery is one of the oldest human technologies and art-forms, and remains a
major industry today. Ceramic art covers the art of pottery, whether in items made for use
or purely for decoration.

Implementation:we can implement this sector if we can give our pottery makers more
proper training by a trainer of other countries,introduce this crafts more in cities by
arranging different pottery fairs and not only that we can improvise it more and export
internationally.

# Jute products: Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fiber that can be spun into coarse,
strong threads. It is produced from plants in the genus Corchorus, family Tiliaceae.Jute
made handicrafts are also very popular in Bangladesh.Different handicrafts are made by
jute like bag ,carpets etc.

Implementation:
#Bamboo: The bamboos listen (help·info) are a group of woody perennial evergreen
(except for certain temperate species) plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily
Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some are giant bamboos, the largest members of the
grass family. Bamboos are the fastest growing woody plants in the world. Their growth
rate (up to 60 centimeters (24 in.)/day) is due to a unique rhizome-dependent system, but
is highly dependent on local soil and climate conditions. They are of economic and high
cultural significance in East Asia and South East Asia where they are used extensively in
gardens, as a building material, and as a food source.
