Artisan Clusters & Workshops
Craft production sits somewhere on a line from a single household to a workshop of two hundred people, and the point on that line changes what a buyer can expect on capacity, consistency, lead time and compliance documentation. Cluster structure also matters: some regions are vertically complete, others depend on neighbouring villages for dyeing, firing or plating. Understanding the real production unit behind an exporter's catalogue is the core due-diligence task in this trade.
