Handicrafts
One of the problems that Tabas inhabitants were face with in the culture and influenced the handcrafting arts was the distance of the city to population centres. This why the people have been determined to use God’s gifts mixed with their art and tastes to meet their needs and as such present the conventional arts and handicrafts.From the remained handicrafts which are still available we can name: coppersmithing, engraving on copper, mat-weave, durries, rug weaving, pottery and etc. currently the centre of trading handicrafts is the former copper smiths marker (Bazar-e-Mesgara) which is located on Emam Square (Meydan-e-Emam) that in the past you could hear the sound of hammer everywhere but now there are limited number of copper smith shops.
Rug Weaving (Gelim):

Gelim Weaving has been one of common artistic works in Tabas and the being woven into two ways: using cotton or Fur. The different designs are appeared on Gelim using different color threads.
Coppersmithing:
It’s an art that artisan using his art and taste transforms raw copper sheet in to different shapes especially kitchen wares. Currently, the number of artisans has decreased due to mechanization so that we find a few artisans in Tabas where you could hear the sound of hammers on copper.
Engraving on Copper:
This art is common in Tabas. . In this field various designs engraves on copper trays or legged frames and the number of artists of this field is considerably more than coppersmithing artists.
