They aren’t lost....just dormant. I suspect there are some purist hobbyists out there who could approach that.

Lost in the cultural sense, not in the literal one. My grandfather was an ornamental plasterer; while there are a handful of individuals still capable of doing that work, it is very rare. Our society, as a whole, doesn’t value workmanship, nor do many have the discipline required to attain such skills.
