The power of knowing how experiences with handmade objects and craft enrich, change, and sustain is what forms the unique majors of Craft Studies in AUI.

Separated in 2012 from the schools of Visual and Fine Arts, the School of Crafts consists of three departments: Handicrafts, Carpet, and Calligraphy and Persian Miniature Painting. The school is spread in three campuses of Hakim Campus located in three reconstructed traditional houses.

The school offers all the majors in undergraduate level and two minors in Handicrafts in graduate level MA and PhD: Research- Based and Practice-Based Crafts studies.
