In last week's post, I outlined some thoughts on Why people are or become artisans. This week I want to reflect on How they practice their craft. It isn't easy to reduce something as complex as the qualities of an artisan into neat, reductive boxes. As a result, some areas overlap as we consider the same qualities in different contexts. Given what we're trying to do here - to understand what makes an artisan tick, learn how we can encourage that in ourselves and evoke it in people we work with - I suggest that we accept this for now. It may get clearer as we continue the exploration.
