"Architects, painters, sculptors, we must all return to crafts! For there is
no such thing as "professional art". There is no essential difference
between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. By
the grace of Heaven and in rare moments of inspiration which transcend the
will, art may unconsciously blossom from the labour of his hand, but a base
in handicrafts is essential to every artist. It is there that the original
source of creativity lies." W. Gropius....
