In the course of gathering thoughts for this article, I discovered there’s also an ancillary conversation out there about the definition of an artisan versus a craftsman. There’s definite consensus that an artisan is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates things by hand. Yet, only some profess that through practice, experience and aptitude, the artisan can excel to the expressive levels of an artist. Which brings us right back to that mind-tickling question about the definition of art.
