1.) I'm a member of the SCA. These arguments always come up. There's a position called Arts and Sciences officer which is supposed to support making stuff. What's an art, and what's a science is a common argument.

2.) The official Santa Claus for Toledo, Ohio is a personal friend of mine. His wife does prize-winning embroidery. He has a 'Santa shirt' embroidered with scenes of the North Pole, the workshop, the elves, the reindeer, the stable, etc. There's over 400+ hours of work on this thing and it's actually insured for $7,000. Gonna call it 'craft' because it's just a shirt???
