What is Craftpedia? A Global Encyclopedia of Traditional Crafts - craft_adm - 07-06-2025
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

? Want to contribute?

Let’s document and celebrate the creative knowledge of humankind — together.
