What is the difference between "artist" and "artisan"?

Asked by 2davidc8 (10189points) November 26th, 2011

It seems that a lot of things are called “artisan” lately, e.g., artisan breads, artisan flower arrangements, artisan jewelry, etc. What makes these things “artisan” and different from their ordinary, regular (non-artisan) versions? Are they made by artists? What qualifies them to be called so, or is this just a marketing thing?
