An ARTISAN is a skilled craftsperson who makes or creates things by hand. Glassblowers and potters are two examples of artisans, as they use their hands to create objects out of glass and clay respectively. Glassblowing involves heating and shaping molten glass into desired shapes, while pottery involves forming clay into desired shapes and then firing it in a kiln. Both crafts require a great deal of skill and precision, and the end products are often beautiful and unique.
