The term handicraft is usually distinguished from the term arts and crafts becouse handicrafted items are intended
 to be used products for a purpose beyond simple decoration and are generally considered more traditional work, created as a necessary part of daily life, while arts and crafts implies more of a artistinc and hobby pursuit and a demonstration of a creative technique.

Rural crafts are diofferent from the  "rustic" handicraft goods often seen in rural gift shops.  A wide variety of joinery construction in wood was also practiced, from tool-making through gate-making and wheel-making, to full-scale barn building. Some add skills such as beekeeping and path laying to the list of rural crafts. In coastal areas, there are additional crafts associated with the sea; such as net making for fishing, and small boat making. Rural crafts will tend to vary in their styles from place to place, and will thus often contribute strongly to a sense of place.
