Is There a Future for Craftsmen and Artisans?

It’s a common complaint among designers that it is nearly impossible to find skilled

artisans and craftspeople. Why is there such a shortage, and what can designers do to

inspire more young people to work with their hands? Three outstanding

practitioners—decorative painter Caroline Lizarraga, floor painter Chris Pearson, and

upholsterer Luther Quintana—weigh in on how they learned their craft, and how they find

and train staff to keep up with demand. They discuss the ways social media has

transformed the artisan community and reveal why you just might find your next talented

team member at the local carwash.
