English has craftsman vs tradesman

butcher, baker are tradesmen
and 
the furniture maker is either a tradesman or a craftsman
the weaver is a craftsman

(please note, none are restricted in sex to male, even though they are all 
*man*)


so a craftsman would be doing something with raw materials to produce 
something useful, a permanent object, and with some sense of beauty in its 
form.

the butcher and baker are working with raw materials, producing something 
temporary and not required to have beauty in its form

the furniture maker is a tradesman when producing rough work and a craftsman 
when producing more beautiful items
