It strikes me that some craftspeople seem to take a defensive stance when it comes to being compared to "artists". There is much to be said in the almost meditative practice of perfecting a creative task in a proscribed manner. Think of the way caligraphers both eastern and western try to express perfection and how satisfying it is once the skill is honed. The idea of losing self is another approach to accessing universal spirit counter to self-expression. All valid.
