Overview

An artisan (from , ) is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates material objects partly or entirely by hand. These objects may be functional or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative art, sculpture, clothing, food items, household items, and tools and mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist. History The adjective "artisanal" is often used in describing hand-processing in contrast to an industrial process, such as in the phrase artisanal mining. Thus, "artisanal" is sometimes used in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to describe or imply some relation with the crafting of handmade food products, such as bread, beverages, cheese or textiles. Many of these have traditionally been handmade, rural or pastoral goods but are also now commonly made on a larger scale with automated mechanization in factories and other industrial areas. Artisans were the dominant producers of commodities before the Industrial Revolution. In ancient Greece, artisans were drawn to agoras and often built workshops nearby.

Notable quotes

“No single event has influenced the history of labor in Illinois, the United States, and even the world, more than the Chicago Haymarket Affair. It began with a rally on May 4, 1886, but the consequences are still being felt today. Although the rally is included in American history textbooks, very few present the event accurately or point out its significance.”
— William J. Adelman "The Haymarket Affair". illinoislaborhistory.org. Retrieved March 19, 2014.
“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
— Thomas Edison, as quoted in Ford Times, Vol. 6, (1912), p. 136.
“There is no law that says we have to go to work every day and follow our employer’s orders. Legally there is nothing to prevent us from going to live in the wild like primitive people or from going into business for ourselves. But in practice there is very little wild country left, and there is room in the economy for only a limited number of small business owners.”
— Theodore John Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future (1995)
“It is not enough to be industrious; so are the ants. What are you industrious about?”
— Henry David Thoreau, letter to Harrison Blake (16 November 1857).
“Cur quæris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?”
— Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor?
“The virtues, like the body,become strong more by labor than by nourishment.”
— Jean Paul, p. 368.
