Craft is a field of art that is very open with various meanings, according to the purpose of its creation, the raw materials used, the work process, and the form of the work produced. Crafts have always been present and needed to support various needs in daily life. Therefore, crafts certainly have various functions, but these functions have not been completely decomposed. This study aims to reveal the various functions of crafts in daily life. This study employs a qualitative research method. Data were collected through literature studies, observation of the creation process and craft products, and interviews with craftsmen. Data analysis was carried out interactively by continuously comparing data from literature studies, observations, and interviews. The results showed that the craft has been used for various functions in daily life, namely: as a ritual, a medium of expression, an economic driver, an educational medium, means of social interaction, means of therapy, environmental preservation, means of recreation, means of self-actualization, individual identity, and symbol of cultural identity. These various functions can appear in one craft phenomenon (process and product) or in different craft phenomena. Further researchers are expected to be able to explore these functions more deeply in a particular craft phenomenon to produce an increasingly extensive appreciation. Thus, we will be encouraged to continue to preserve it in daily life.
