My question would be if it makes sense to group them all together just
because the items are created in a traditional manual way even if the
produced artifacts are very different.

household items

If someone looks up shops to get some nice presents for their
mother-in-law they would be rather disappointed to find them only
selling wooden chairs ;)

Therefore I think it might make more sense to use established and
detailed (as possible) shop=* tags and introduce an additional
attribute like handmade=yes or similar.
