Artisan

But, uh, it says that both, uh, Armando and Nikki have a passion for all things artisan and homemade, love to share their passions with others.

Um- What does artisan mean in coffee at this point in time?

Artisan, and specifically coffee, is anything that's not generic.

It is something that we are trying to control every aspect.

We're already dealing with a higher grade coffee, you know, getting down to the farmers that take pride in what they do, and they're picking the best possible fruit and picking the best possible way of processing.

Let's make some decisions on who's doing what.

So we've got to assign them Supply Master, Camp Counselor, Trailblazer, Artisan, and then choose a wild card.

They have...

Bobby Brown, Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Willow Smith, Daniel Johns.

Chris, I'm going to tell the listeners who's on your team and what their roles are.

You're going to give us a name for the team and a quick pitch of why they're going to survive and thrive, but also the worst case scenario.

So Chris's team has Lord as Supply Master, Billy Eilish as the Camp Counselor, Bjork as the Trailblazer, Stevie Wonder as the Artisan, and Annabella Luin as the Wild Card.

My team... name is birds of a feather not only because it's a billy eilish song but because i feel like these five artists are all birds of a feather they all do belong together it makes sense as a team it feels like these five were meant to be together now you could argue that maybe stevie wonder is a little bit different of a thing um as these other four who are very sort of they're obviously all women, but also very like kind of eccentric women.

It wasn't just so I could manage it.

It was also because Artisan tree is variable.

Artisan tree is scary for me.

And as I was breaking down the process with my teams and thinking, how do we go from artisan tree to more standard operating procedures, more repeatable steps? Once you roll that out in production, it was a lot easier for me to think about rolling that out into a centralized site, gain the efficiencies.

If you're going to put equipment in place, well, I don't want to put equipment in 16 different places and make sure that all 16s are following the rules and calibrating it.

of this platform into uh one of the largest dental manufacturing sites and the way we're addressing the manufacturing is very very different we were born out of being a bunch of artisans i wasn't but i was the one who brought them together and today we have engineers on staff and business leaders and you know we We have SOPs and specifications and equipment calibration.

We're FDA registered.

And it was such a journey to come out of the New York Artisan Studio and now look like a Pratt & Whitney factory, basically.

meaning beyond mass production.

Artisanal craftsmanship offers something that mass production cannot replicate, meaning each handmade piece reflects identity, time, skill, historical heritage, and community.

It embodies the knowledge passed down through generations, the patience required to master techniques, and the cultural narratives embedded in materials, patterns, and forms.

In contrast to standardized industrial goods, handicrafts carry a human imprint.

This alignment between brand purpose and social impact strengthens corporate identity and builds trust with stakeholders.

Clients and consumers are increasingly discerning, capable of distinguishing between superficial sustainability claims and authentic, impact-driven initiatives.

Artisanal collaborations offer brands a credible and tangible way to demonstrate their commitment to ethical business practices.

Moreover, social impact is no longer viewed as a cost, but as a strategic investment.

Artisan's Dwellings, Hornsey.

The erection of artisan's dwellings is certainly a prominent feature the progress of building in the metropolis and speculative builders who work on a smaller scale would do well not to ignore the fact the artisans laborers and general dwellings company limited has been conspicuously successful in rearing large blocks of dwellings for artisans clerks and others whose means necessitates the renting of a convenient house at as low a rental as it is possible to find it we give an illustration of a terrace of first-class houses built by the above company, who deserves great praise for the spirited and liberal manner in which they are going to work on this, the third of their London estates, the Noel Park estate at Hornsey.

On the estates at Shaftesbury and Queen's Parks, they have already built about 3,000 houses, employing therein a capital of considerably over a million sterling, while at Noel Park they are rapidly covering an estate of 100 acres.

Um, nothing really much to say about it.

Uh, the other one is Artisan of Glymph, and I do have things to say about Artisan of Glymph.

Oh.

Are we on Ruby yet? Are we on Ruby?

Pissing me off.

Uh, because...

Uh, Artisan of Glymph.

Okay, here we go.

It only bans them for a very specific list of people.

Artificers, craftsmen, husbandmen, apprentices, laborers, servants, journeymen, mariners, fishermen, watermen, and servingmen.

The working population.

They can't play.

Expensive chocolates.

Artisan, probably Belgian, the sort I'd loved on our last real anniversary.

A folded card tucked inside read, in Derek's quick, untidy script, Thank you for making even the hardest week's beautiful, D. I put the box down carefully, hands shaking.

There were no missed anniversaries between us, and no gesture like that since our last trip.

She's doing the best she can to guide Foxtor, aiding what he can see with what she can see.

She takes a moment to look back and she sees that one of the Artisans is relatively close behind her on Nialas, her pony, but that the third Artisan has fallen a good bit behind and it doesn't look like he's going to be able to keep up.

She reins in Foxtor.

The other Artisan who's closest to her comes close by and she says, "Don't wait, keep going," and he continues riding.

But she arrives to Freetown.

We'll jump back to the others.

Nott, Trach, Perrine, Dorca and one more of the Artisans are in the bog watching three warbands of dead soldiers march past them and Nott has been regarding the longbow that the company were gifted earlier in the night.

The Artisans are crafters of weapons and they gave Nott this longbow.
