Artisans: Painters, Sculptors, and Other Sew-and-Sows - Backgrounds (E340)

[laughs] All right, so the artisan background.

Uh, basically what this does is it lends itself to the idea that you are skilled in some kind of craft.

And by craft I mean things along the lines of leatherwork, smithing, pottery.

Maybe even just, you know, a local crazy artist.

But at the end of the day, you are basically a craftsman.

In the 2014 books, the only comparable thing is the guild artisan is the one-

Yeah

... that I could find.

Yeah.

Uh, which was more specific to say that you not only are you a crafty person, but you're also a part of a guild.

So basically a brotherhood or what have, whatever you wanna call it.

And in turn, being a part of that guild, it is assumed that you are also part of the mercantile business of your guild as well.

Um, it even goes as far as to giving prompts and ideas that, uh, what, like what type of guild you might come from, and so on and so forth.

And here's the thing: There are so many different types, other than the examples that I previously gave, like, uh, with artisans in this world.

We forget sometimes that artisan crafts of, could be anything from cobblers, weavers, brewers, and even calligraphers are added to that list, right?

Yep.

The idea here is if you make it by hand, it is artisanal, therefore you are an artisan.

And I feel like in our generations of being humans, we use the word artisanal too much.

It's meant for breads and only breads.
