I am not sure but a good starting point is that it is, obviously, the anthropology of crafts. Maybe on their production, their cultural importance, the 'doing' of them, the ways in which they play a role in other parts of a society (as trade, as skill/status, as objects of religious/ritual importanceetc.)... i dont think there actually is an academic area of study of this, so go for it, the only book that sounds interesting (aside from detailed case studies) is Richard Sennet's new book called Craftsmen, the first part of a trilogy on craft... out the end of feb 08 and available on line now (start of feb 08) ... good luck
