Artisanship used to be the foundation of human living, with the manual process of crafting everything from tools to decorative pieces being the most important skills needed amongst people. Since the industrial revolution, however, artisanship has become more in the way of a grand passion for those who practise it, as its importance to society slowly begins to dwindle. Three artisans of the modern age take us into their world of craftsmanship; there are the chefs of San Francisco's rustic Bar Tartine serving up some amazingly unique European dishes, the knife-makers of Bloodroot Blades in Georgia who rely on not getting injured in order to put food on the table, and the crafters of fine cookware at the legendary Nagatani-en in Iga, Japan. Find out how artisanship affects the lives of these skilled individuals, and how the modern world they live in affects their products.
