handicraftsmen
Manual trade workers
Handicraftsmen is the plural of handicraftsman, a somewhat old-fashioned term for a person skilled in making things by hand rather than by machine.
The word emphasizes manual dexterity and traditional techniques in trades like woodworking, pottery, weaving, or metalwork.
The handicraftsmen of the village produced furniture that was prized throughout the region.
The gender-neutral craftspeople or artisans is now more common in contemporary usage.
