worker in an art based industury...
An artisan, also called a craftsman, is a skilled manual worker who uses tools and machinery in a particular craft. Artisans were the dominant producers of goods before the Industrial Revolution.
In Europe during the Middle Ages artisans usually organised into guilds. Guilds were associations of master artisans that were granted charters by the local sovereign authority. The guilds controlled all aspects of production and distribution to ensure quality and to prevent competition from outside markets. Along with merchants, artisans occupied the middle tier of the European and Indian social hierarchy, below the landowning aristocrats and above the agricultural workers. In contrast, Japan's Edo period artisan class was ranked below the samurai and the agricultural workers, and above the merchants.
To become an artisan in the guilds, a person worked under a master artisan as an unpaid apprentice at a young age. If the apprentice completed the training, the apprentice became a paid journeyman. For a journeyman to become a master artisan, he would have to produce a masterpiece that met the standards of the guild.
The word comes from Middle French, - from northern Italian dialect form of Tuscan artigiano, from arte art, from Latin art-, ars... skilled in the arts, past participle of artīre, to instruct in the arts,

An artisan can be many things, they will often make items in a time honoured fashion that uses materials that are the same as the original materials as well as tools of that period.
A true artisan will not use modern tools.
An artisan could be a stained glass window maker or a basket weaver or someone who can lay drystone walls or a stone mason.
The items they produce are either unique or small in number because they are specialised.

Artisans are artists that create things, usually other than painting, sculpture, etc. For example, a rug weaver, a basket maker, a ceramics artist -- these can all be considered 'artisans'.
