Crafter, designer, maker or artist?

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I love arts & crafts, but does that mean I'm an arts & crafter?! Like you, Claire, I've felt a certain discomfort with describing myself as a "crafter", and…

I started a thread on Folksy about what those of us involved in arts & crafts like to call ourselves. UK Handmade talks about arts, designers and makers. How do you prefer to be described?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Martina Nov 12.

hi there! the 'it's good to have a hobby' quote - yes, that kind of remark does not really do anything for one's confidence- another one i've had (and so have many others, i hear) 'that's quite nice, i could probably do better myself, though'- there…

I prefer to be described as an artisan. I feel this term covers designing, making, creating and it has a nice ring to it as well :-)

i think you can tell, it's funny to think that all the emotion we put into creating something actually 'shows'. i also love the rainbow cats and the tall cats with flowered bodies :) admire the fact that u keep making more and more of them-ive got minimum patience-one thing -then i want to do something different-but i'm starting to be a bit more strict with myself- at last! thanx 4 reply
