The definition of Artisan is ‘a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand’.
Over the last few months we have been thinking about creativity as a craft, ditching Adobe, packing up the laptop and cracking out a drawing with good old fashioned paper and pencils and we’ve realised just how much we’ve missed it. We’ve been reminiscing about interning at Couture houses, creating beautiful embroideries and beadwork and feeling that sense of achievement after hours of concentration. We have been talking to artists, musicians, designers and more who haven’t succumbed to the modern way but have stuck to their trade using traditional methods, hand knitting, sketching, beading, developing film and more, the results are genuine, passionate and intriguing.
