Abstract	This articles looks for value in craft. Not so much value in the industrial sense; money, time, and effort, but from a individual perspective; community, companionship, self-discovery, and joy. Craft is more than just an final product, the true worth of it can be found in its process; time invested in learning the skills, building the communities, creating an object warm from human touch. The customer is bored of owning mass produced identical objects, instead they are searching for a connection with the maker. By identifying both professional and amateur craftsmen, the authors search for sense of value from them in terms of motivation for crafting, their interactions and community spirit, and their connections with their creations (Hackney, 2013). (As Provided).
