artisan economy

The artisan economy refers to a system where skilled individuals, known as artisans, create unique, handcrafted products such as furniture, jewelry, or food items. Unlike mass-produced goods from factories, these items often emphasize craftsmanship, quality, and individuality. The artisan economy supports small-scale production, local businesses, and cultural traditions, fostering economic sustainability and personal fulfillment for creators. It has grown with the rise of online platforms and niche markets, allowing artisans to reach wider audiences while maintaining their personalized, authentic approach.
