I am a self taught artisan. I prefer this term over "artist" because to me it denotes a person who works with items that can be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Since I was a child, I was captivated by working with my hands and creating things. I took art classes in high school, but I always felt more comfortable with 3 dimensional creations instead of the traditional paintings and drawings. Lately I've enjoyed teaching classes and writing instructional articles so others can enjoy the same hobbies I love.
