{{main|Studio craft}}
Crafts practiced by independent artists working alone or in small groups are referred to as studio craft. Studio craft includes [[studio pottery]], [[Metalworking|metalwork]], [[weaving]], [[woodturning]], [[paper]] and other forms of [[woodworking]], [[glassblowing]], and [[glass art]].

These crafts emphasize individuality, creativity, and the artist's direct engagement with materials and techniques. Unlike mass-produced or factory-made goods, studio craft pieces are often one-of-a-kind or produced in limited editions, showcasing the maker's personal style and artistic vision. Many studio craft artists blend traditional [[craftsmanship]] with contemporary design, pushing the boundaries of their chosen medium. The movement gained momentum in the 20th century as artists sought to elevate craft to the status of fine art, often exhibiting their works in galleries and museums. Today, studio craft continues to thrive, supported by craft schools, residencies, and a growing appreciation for handmade, artisanal objects.
