"The distinction between art and craft has been complicated recently by a tendency among young artists to use craft techniques, such as paper cutting and embroidery. While there is overlap with visual arts, craft tends to concern itself with the material fabric of everyday life, rather than the unique events in the artist's imagination. This material fabric extends to body adornment (jewelery), body support (clothes, furniture), eating rituals (hollowware and vessels), and decoration (vases, lights, objects, wall hangings).
The boundary between art and craft is permeable. Sometimes the most exciting work involves a daring entry of one into the other."
This is the main difficulty in determining either craft or art, basically if you can apply some sort of thought or idea (value, in reference to essay) to what you are doing you could consider it an art.
