Artisan & Craftsmanship Key Difference[]

Artisans and craftsmen have very similar occupations: they make objects, often artistic, with their hands. However, while artisans may repeat the items they make, they tend to ideate and design by creative inspiration and aim to capture qualities of beauty that may not have a functional value (a unique bracelet or sculpture, for example). Craftsmen focus on replicating a given piece exactly the same way to technical and material specifications.

The purpose of their work is often the repeated production of functional objects with artistic elements, such as kitchen cabinets or musical instruments. Artisans tend to work in studios and craftsmen in shops or production factories. While these areas are usually ventilated, both professionals can be exposed to fumes and dust from the materials they work with. Generally, a craftsman's products will be made more quickly and with lower quality materials than that of the artisan.

Artisans are professionals who have honed their hands-on artistic skills in a particular field. They may make unique handwoven fabrics, leather items, ceramics, blown glass, or jewelry, to mention a few possibilities.

With skills in the fine arts, they add finishing touches to their work, such as painting, sketching, or engraving. Many artisans are self-employed, meaning they are able to set their own hours. Sometimes artisans work a second job or work overtime to meet deadlines.

A craftsman is someone who, like an artisan, is highly skilled in their craft. However, the important difference with craftsmen is that they aim replicate for mass consumption. Instead of producing many different unique pieces, craftsmen work to make exact replicas of specific types of functional, utilitarian objects.

Their methods may sometimes be traditional, though in many settings' assembly lines and advanced computer equipment are now used, and the 'craft' is extremely technical. Craftsmen can work with wood crafts, tiles, and other types of materials. (Source)
