dc.description.abstract | Craft as a form of art found its way on to the Main Street market in Jinja district in 2000
upto date,where crafts men through responding to different historical events and
environmental influences created objects for example household objects, wood vessels,
musical instrument, clothing etcetera for sell. Crafts have to some extent played a part
in the development of Uganda, exhibited through fashion, construction and household
equipment. For a city like Jinja in Uganda, a major tourist destination since the 90's has
had people seek petty jobs in the making of different crafts from tables and chairs to
baskets, fabric decoration, etcetera. However, Most of the crafts and materials used on
market are traditionally not of Ugandan origin. | en_US |
