santa maria

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'noted old craft' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'as a main art form?' is the wordplay.
'form?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'forming' mean this).
'as'+'a'+'main'+'art'='asamainart'
'asamainart' with letters rearranged gives 'SANTA MARIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for santa maria that I've seen before include "Flagship of Columbus" , "Columbus's flagship" , "Historic vessel" , "Brazilian city" , "Columbus' ship" .)
