tent-maker
Shelter construction artisan
A tent-maker is someone who makes tents—canvas or fabric shelters supported by poles.
The term appears most often in biblical contexts, where the apostle Paul famously worked as a tent-maker while preaching.
This has given rise to tent-making or tentmaker ministry, where clergy support themselves through secular work rather than depending on church income.
