The culture of Crimean Tatars is ancient, rich and interesting. The main crafts are clothes making, weaving, embroidering, pottery, sheep breeding, jewelry and others. Today Crimean Tatar people try to revive their traditional crafts. Many artisans are returning to production clothing (traditional costumes mostly) at home. Handmade clothes, souvenirs and pottery of Crimean Tatars are highly valued in other countries.
