AI overview

An artisan is a skilled craftsperson who creates handmade objects, typically using traditional techniques and methods passed down through practice and training. Artisans matter because they preserve specialized crafting knowledge, produce unique, high-quality work, and keep traditional ways of making things alive in an increasingly mass-produced world.
