Artisan and Handicraft Entrepreneurs
In handicrafts and artisanal products, industry has witnessed both a technological shift and a renewed interest among customers, especially after the challenges and limitations of mass production became evident under the COVID-19 pandemic. This book portrays the worldwide development of this trend, the nature of entrepreneurship in these industries, and the unique challenges and opportunities that entrepreneurs face. The book shows how these businesses are gaining a resurgence due to customers preferring ethical, regional, and climate-friendly options to fulfill their needs. The chapters focus on artisan entrepreneurs' contribution to society by not only creating businesses, but also in terms of tourism development. The book reiterates that artisan entrepreneurs enable crucial cultural connections with tradition due to their affinity to a region, city, village, or community. Small business and entrepreneurship researchers as well as policymakers in the cultural sector would benefit from this book.
The Compleat Craftsman
Handicrafts are just that -- objects made by hand. The degree of craftsmanship is a measure of the skill of the hands, rather than the precision of a machine. This book is a testament to the Victorian craftsman who wasted not and wanted not. The illustrative pictures are both instructive and amusing. As a compilation of hundreds of nineteenth-century craft projects, it is a book that can be used for personal profit and pleasure.
