What people are saying.

“WHAT IS AN ARTISAN PERSON?"

It's a person skilled in a utilitarian art, trade, or craft, especially one requiring manual skill; a crafts person a person or company that makes a high-quality or distinctive product in small quantities, usually by hand or using traditional methods. 

You ever know someone who is a superb craftsman? Someone that can take sows ear or a nail or stick and turn it into a work of art? 

I've been fortunate in my life to have known a few people like that. Most of them acquaintances whose work I've admired at arm's length. But one, stands out from the crowd. A man whose artistic skills have impressed me since the day we met. I've known this man going on 18 years and I am fortunate that I can also call him a good friend. Chris Maybury is that man... and his company Maybury Mill and Forge is his company. He's a Brit and has a dry sense of humor that is witty and funny. Chris is someone whom I've taken an extreme like to since the day I met him. He's an accomplished blacksmith and leather worker that creates works of art from mundane materials. Take a moment and peruse his web site and you'll see what I'm talking about.
