Is There a Future for Craftsmen and Artisans?

The Chairish Podcast

29-03-2023 • 46 mins

It’s a common complaint among designers that it is nearly impossible to find skilled artisans and craftspeople. Why is there such a shortage, and what can designers do to inspire more young people to work with their hands? Three outstanding practitioners—decorative painter Caroline Lizarraga, floor painter Chris Pearson, and upholsterer Luther Quintana—weigh in on how they learned their craft, and how they find and train staff to keep up with demand. They discuss the ways social media has transformed the artisan community and reveal why you just might find your next talented team member at the local carwash.
