Craftsperson? Was that out of habit, or are you giving in to the liberal PC language reformation?
BTW, all working men and women who have legitimate jobs producing products or services that free men are willing to buy with their own money are both artists and craftsmen.
This goes for the guy who makes intricate sculptures to the guy who flips hamburgers. If you take pride in your work and people are willing to pay you to do it, then you are an artist and a craftsman.
I am an attorney and I consider myself both an artisan and a craftsman. I am also a musician, but in that department I am but a simple artist as no one has seen fit to pay me for my efforts.
