So, why the Artisan Gift Network?
Its Purpose – To help make known, support, celebrate and forward the artisan, the craft person, whether that craft be cakes, cookies or blown glass who so enrich our lives.
There is another point that I love and admire about artisans and that is, PRIDE in one’s workmanship.

Being proud of the product one produces has always been something that just tickles me. If we can encourage artisans and help them to support themselves we can at the same time encourage and develop pride in ones workmanship for the generations to come. At least I would like to think so and do so hope. I think pride in one’s workmanship is a lesson to keep for the ages.
To THAT end we launch the Artisan Network and in doing hope to make the world a better place! Crazy? Grandiose? Probably, but that is my dream and I’m sticking to it!
We will build the network throughout the US to start. It¬ will be an exciting journey as we meet vendors and customer and build our network. There will be so many beautiful things here at this website, made by Artisans!
