Craftpedia is an independent, non-commercial initiative to document, explore, and preserve traditional crafts, artisanal techniques, and the cultural heritage behind them — from every corner of the globe.

Our aim is to create a living encyclopedia of human craftsmanship — organized by region, material, technique, and cultural context.

?️ The Wiki
The main site, Craftpedia.wiki, is a growing wiki where each page presents a specific craft, practice, or artifact. Content is organized by continent, region, and use, allowing deep and cross-cultural exploration.

? The Forum
This forum is a space for conversation:
→ Ask questions, share experiences, compare techniques across regions, or discuss challenges in documentation.
→ It’s also where contributors and researchers collaborate and shape the development of Craftpedia together.

? Our Values

• Cultural respect
  
• Knowledge preservation
  
• Open access
  
• Global inclusiveness
  

• Sharing stories or photos from your region
  
• Linking to historical materials
  
• Writing or editing wiki pages
