That's all. Therefore, by that definition, pretty much all artists are artisans. However, not all artisans are artists’...hmmmmm, confused?<br>
What about this definition...’An artist is a person who performs any of the creative arts. This can range from painting to music. An artisan, on the other hand, is a skilled worker who makes things by hand’.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 12px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(26,26,26)">There have never been clear lines drawn between artist and artisan...and this debate always makes good dinner conversation and a good subject for this year’s Members’ Exhibition.</p>
