Wickerwork:
Ethiopian women made a variety of items by winding bundles of palm leaves together. These pieces included colorful straws, allowing the creation of complicated and dynamic geometric designs. Using this technique they would create: baskets, plates, 'mosav'-a table to serve 'injera'-traditional Ethiopian bread, jewlery boxes, etc. Changes in wickerwork traditions occurred when colored threads of cotton began to appear in the market. The women preferred these threads to the hard work of creating their own. In Israel today there are still many Ethiopian women practicing this handicraft.

Weaving:
Weaving was one of professions which was filled mainly by Jewish men in Ethiopia. The principle product of this skill was cotton sheets.

Smithery:
This was a profession that was filled only by Ethiopian Jewish men. Most of their products were tools for working in the fields, such as: ploughs, sickles, hoes, etc.

Embroidery:
Much of Ethiopian traditional clothing is full of hand-made embroidered patterns designed and created by the women in the community. In Israel, many Ethiopian women continue to create embroidered products for their families as well as for sale in the general marketplace.

Pottery:
Pottery was made from clay found in the area. Stones were used to smooth and texture the pieces. The pottery was dried in the sun and then baked over an open flame. In this way they created cookware, storage containers, pitchers, etc.
