potterers

Leisurely hobby fiddlers

Potterers are people who potter—moving about in an unhurried, aimless way, occupying themselves with small tasks without any particular urgency.

The word is more common in British English, where pottering around the house or garden suggests pleasant, leisurely activity rather than productive work: The potterers in the garden seemed content to weed and water all afternoon.
