Yet, centuries ago, craftsmanship was a way of life for many people who depended solely upon their particular skill to provide their livelihood. Working with one’s hands was an honorable way to make a living. However, with the advent of machinery, mass production, and the Industrial Revolution, the value of such skill was overshadowed by the lure of big business.
