Abstract: Handicraft products are elements that bear the characteristics of cultural identity. Unfortunately, the occupation of handicrafts and the number of craftsmen in Turkey are decreasing day by day due to many effects, including particularly globalization. Although the history of Turkish handicrafts dates back to very old times, some problems are encountered for its sustainability. This study will provide information on the kinds and examples of Turkish handicrafts. The reasons for the decrease in the production of handicrafts in Turkey will be discussed and some recommendations will be made to prevent their disappearance.
