temple), or statues of Garuda carved intricately from wood or

<div dir="auto">The craft key is already being used for artistic
sculptors, potters, glass makers, photographers and so on. It
seems the most appropriate of the existing keys, and it would be
inappropriately to try to divide “craft artists” and “fine
artists” into different values, let alone different keys.</div>

Some artists can copy, some cannot copy. It is a skill. Many who
copy can also originate. <br>

agreed. Artists merit their own key, putting them under
craft doesn’t seem like a good choice.</blockquote>
