Crafts such as weaving, pottery, wood carving, leatherworking, and glassblowing play a key role in frugal innovation—creating high-quality solutions that maximize value at minimal cost. By leveraging resource constraints, traditional crafts contribute to cost-effective, sustainable solutions while preserving cultural heritage. Conversely, innovation enhances the preservation and societal value of traditional crafts.
