I have seen in my time a hundred craftsmen, a hundred farmers, wiser and happier than university rectors.

It is well known that the men of Esfahan are the best craftsmen of Iran.

Internships can be traced to apprenticeships of the Middle Ages, where craftsmen trained unskilled labor in a trade.

Students get to work with instructors like Arnaud Le Rouzic, who trained at Les Compagnons du devoir, a prestigious French organization made up of craftsmen and artisans who learn skills dating from the Middle Ages.

The German government offered to send German craftsmen to remake Notre-Dame cathedral's clerestory windows.

Yanni was watching the craftsmen at work.

Berbers were very clever craftsmen.

I went to Bali for temple-gazing, as I was an aspiring amateur archeologist. Also, I had an interest in indigenous languages like Indonesian and Balinese. I looked there for Balinese linguistics books, but to no avail. There were craftsmen, though, who sold Balinese calligraphy written on bamboo or paper. I knew that the carvings and objects in the temples had esoteric meanings, but only experts knew. I enjoyed eating exotic tropical fruits in Bali, as I first tried the "salak" snake fruit. Bali was a Hindu oasis in the largely Muslim country of Indonesia. In a souvenir shop, I met a lady vendor who had an interest in Buddhism. I befriended a hotel worker named Made Budi Artawan, and I had an avocado shake with him in a cafe near my hotel.
