This work consists of the study of the productive process of the craft in wood and ceramic of the valley of Jequitinhonha. Based in the participant observation, it was looked for to describe the occupation ceramist's moments considering the creation movements, transmission of the knowledge, changes, preservation, investigation and the function of the culture politics and of the social mediators in the organization of the craft in valley of Jequitinhonha. It is important to clear that all these movements are related with each other and in many cases in an only agent or institution. Although the artist as a creator is considered as important element in the cultural process, the function that the other mediators and the consumers exercise in the production of the craft can not be disrespected, especially the craft of the valley of Jequitinhonha, that already has a tradition in the national and international market, while representative of the regional culture of the northeast of Minas Gerais state. The cooperations and disputes between the several moments or agents of the cultural production are essential for the dynamism of the cultural life, what can happen starting from changes and exchanges in a constant bargain. The collected data were analyzed starting from theoretical considerations that they discussed the relationship between art and craft, as well as the insert or the absence of the cultural politics in the country.
