Our world’s history, enriched by stories and experiences, cultures and crafts of days gone seem somewhat a fantasy now. The industrial machine taking its place, sprouting modernity out of the ground, branching it out into the world with its complex network of everchanging structures. For centuries before, the Artisan ruled the world, supplying the tools needed to pave the road for humanity’s progression.

Some Artisans still persevere, pushing the boundaries and their livelihoods behind the drowning noise of technology. Somewhat hidden, they continue the traditions of their ancestors in the crafts learnt and passed on from generation to generation.

At the World Artisan Directory (WAD) we have made it our mission to provide a platform to showcase the unique and fascinating work of artisans around the world. The Artisans & their craft have incredible stories to share.
