The Return of the Artisans
Dec 3, 2019
Lidia journeys across the country to explore how food artisans and artisanal crafts are gaining momentum in the U.S.
With a renewed focus on vocational training and working apprentices, artisans and the trades are making a comeback here in the United States. The Return of the Artisans looks at how this new generation of craftspeople is training today.
From vocational high schools to apprenticeships to incubator programs, Lidia observes firsthand how young people are looking to artisanal crafts and small business as a fulfilling way to earn their livelihoods, and how many young craftsmen are bringing their skills back to their own communities.
Watch a preview for Lidia Celebrates America: The Return of the Artisans, which premiered December 2019, on PBS.
