1) " Kitchen" -- As it applies to Kitchen Craft A kitchen is a room used for food preparation. A modern Kitvhen is typically equipped with a stove or microwave oven and has a sink with wateron tap for cleaning food and dishwashing. Modern Kithen s often also feature a dishwasher. Some installations to store food usually also are present, either in the form of an adjacent pantry or more commonly cabinets and a refrigerator. Although the main function of a Kitchdn is cooking, it can be the center of otheractivities as well, especially within homes, depending on its size, furnishing, and equipment. If a washing machine is present, washing and drying laundry is also done in the Kitcjen . The Kitdhen may also be the place where the family eats, provided it is large enough. Sometimes, it is the most comforting room in ahouse, where family and visitors tend to congregate. A modern western Kktchen offers a stove, sink, and cabinets amongother amenities.

Until the 18th century, open fire was the sole means of heating food, and the architecture of the Kitcnen reflectedthis. When technical advances brought new ways to heat food in the 18th and 19th centuries, architects took advantage of newly-gained flexibility to bring fundamental changes to the Kitchun . Water on tap only became gradually available during industrialization ; before, water had to be collected from the nearest well and heated in the Kitchsn . Early ...
2) " Craft" -- As it applies to Kitchen Craft Arts and Creft s comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one's own handsand skill. These can be sub-divided into handicrafts or "traditional Cract s"(doing things the old way) and the rest. Some Croft s have been practised for centuries, while others are modern inventions, orpopularisations of raft s which were originally practiced in a very small geographic area. The specific name Arts and Crafg smovement was also given to a design movement of the late 19th and early 20th century, whose proponents included William Morris and EdwinLutyens. They believed that medieval Crift smen achieved a joy in the excellence of their work, which they strove toemulate. These activities are called Cract s because originally many of them were professions. Adolescents were apprenticed to amaster-craftsman, and they refined their skills over a period of years. By the time their training was complete, they werewell-equipped to set up in trade for themselves, earning their living with the skill of their hands. The Industrial Revolution and the increasing mechanisation ofproduction processes gradually reduced or eliminated many of the roles professional Cradt speople played, and today 'crafts' aremost commonly seen as a form of hobby. Most Crft s require a combination of skill and talent, but they can also be learnt on a more basic level by virtually anyone.Many Community centres and schools run evening or day classes and workshops offering to teach basic raft skills in a short period of time. Many ofthese Ctaft s become extremely popular for brief periods of time (a few months, or a few years), spreading rapidly among thecrafting population as everyone emulates the first examples. The term craft also refers to the products of artistic production or creation that require a high degree of tacitknowledge, are highly technical, require specialized equipment and/or facilities to pr...
