Abstract:  Craft  Skills  Learning  Through  an  Approach  that  Empowers  Local
Crafts. Craft skills education equips students with practices aiming  to make them
possess  skills  through  appreciation  and  creativity  activities  to  produce  craft
products  so  that  they  acquire  life  skills.  Such  learning  should  give  them  actual
learning  experiences.  It  can  be  carried  out  by  selecting  traditional  crafts  in  a
particular region and modifying them into modern crafts developed in accordance
with  the  students’  and  society’s needs.  It can be conducted by means of  the OIA
(Observe,  Imitate,  and Add) method  to make  the  students  acquire  art  and  craft
skills. Craft  skills education should employ  the contextual approach  so  that what
happens  in  the  learning process at school  is  identical  to what exists  in society. An
important point that teachers should note is how they can play roles as facilitators
and  totivators  for  their students,  so  that  the students’ competence can develop  to
the maximum.
