And what about ceramics?


Anyways, I didn't include masonry or carpentry in the poll because they are typically done as tradeskills these days - parallel to being a plumber or electrition, rather than an artist.

Photography is an art, not a craft.

There's a fine line (if any at all) between art and craft, but I have always seen photography defined as a craft. Which makes sense to me, because it is about working with light and physical composition in a similiar way that any craftperson works with their medium and then, of course, there is also the developing process.
