Apprehension of reading and interpretation in work instructions of handicrafts may come out of some problems, which can influence to understanding of it. Some things may seemed incoherent. These facts can make troubles to follow work instructions, particularly the printed text. This study’s research problem is work instructions of handicrafts and its various conceptualization problems. There is presented earlier researches about this crafts dilemma very little even if they have said it is very well-known topic in conversations with handicraft people. At the beginning of this study introduced I two questions: 1. What are those different ways which can help craft people to decode, understand and ’read’ illustrated and verbal work instructions of handicrafts? 2. What are those factors, which have an effect instrumental to intelligibility of work instructions of handicrafts? A possible solution to the problem composed primarily of the handicraft people’s experiences with work instructions. Theory of conceptualization based on Sciences of Mathematic and Psychology. Craft Science has not sufficiently researches or theories to explain this conceptualization’s problematic nature. Material of this study has collected through an online survey, and twenty people answered to it. Analysis and categorization of the material of study was challenging because opinion questions of the online survey yielded nearly 100 answers. People who answered to the enquiry told variedly their experiences and feelings, for example, when they had used work instructions with some handicrafts projects to bring help. I used both qualitative and quantitative methods concerning to analyzed of material of study, but mainly this study is qualitative research. According to research results the work instruction of crafts should be clear, logic and above all, simple and carefully finished, as possible. Pictures and text are in balance together and these factors will make an easy-following and versatile entirety. Workable work instruction will minimalize discontinuities (or pauses) and misunderstandings. Moreover, what most important, any craftsman or beginner of crafts can follow those same work instructions without any troubles. Everything what craft person needs to start the working with handicrafts, he finds immediately from the work instruction: Among other things, materials, working tools, essential measurements and various steps of working. One of the positive fact is crafts people apply work instructions to mix different techniques, patterns or models together at will. Work instructions can be functional for source of inspiration too if someone wants to create work instructions itself.
