The
traditional crafts in Andalucia owe their heritage to all people
from different cultures that have settled here over the ages.
The legacy of the Tartessians, the Phoenicians, and the Greeks,
Romans
and Arabs covers a vast spectrum of techniques and styles that
are
still alive in Andalucia's traditional crafts.
Many local artifacts
have fallen out of use, due to the development of synthetic materials
and and mass production, and are in danger
of disappearing altogether. However, efforts are being made to
lovingly restore and conserve these traditional skills and
keep them alive.
There is also a growing trend among craftsmen who make ingenious
use of traditional techniques and styles to develop their
own designs.
