Craftspersons and artists bring to their work a variety of skills, values, and virtues, and while these can vary greatly depending on the specific craft or art form, there are some that are universally important. Here are a few:

1. Creativity. This is a cornerstone for any craftsperson or artist. It’s the ability to see things differently, to imagine new possibilities, and to create work that is original and expressive.

2. Technical Skill. Craftsmanship requires a high level of technical skill, and the same is true for many forms of art. This skill is typically developed through years of practice and study.

3. Patience. Whether it’s waiting for paint to dry, or painstakingly perfecting a detail, patience is a virtue that every artist or craftsperson needs.

4. Passion. True artists and craftspeople are passionate about their work. This passion drives them to invest the time and effort necessary to create something truly exceptional.

5. Perseverance. There will be many obstacles and challenges on the road to mastering any craft or art form. The ability to persevere through setbacks and keep striving for improvement is crucial.

6. Attention to Detail. Both artists and craftspeople need to have a keen eye for detail. Whether it’s ensuring the symmetry of a piece of pottery or noticing the subtle interplay of colors in a painting, this attention to detail makes all the difference.

7. Open-mindedness. The ability to see things from different perspectives, to experiment with new techniques, and to be open to criticism and feedback is vital in any creative endeavor.

8. Integrity. This means staying true to one’s creative vision, maintaining ethical practices in the creation and selling of one’s work, and respecting the traditions of the craft or art form.

9. Resilience. The ability to bounce back from rejection or criticism and keep going is important for anyone in a creative field.

10. Discipline. Creating art or practicing a craft requires discipline, as it often involves repetitive tasks and the need to maintain focus over long periods of time.

These skills, values, and virtues not only support the creation of beautiful and meaningful work, they also contribute to personal growth and fulfillment. As such, they are worthy of cultivation by anyone pursuing a craft or artistic practice.

The best way to support these crafts is to buy directly from artisans whenever possible, whether that’s at a local market, through an online platform like guzz, or by visiting workshops or studios.

At guzz, our mission mirrors this belief. We envision a future where humans and AI coexist symbiotically. AI, in our view, can support and enhance human capabilities, freeing us to delve deeper into our creativity, to explore and express our human spirit.
