An artisan (from Italian: artigi...For the record...<br />An artisan (from Italian: artigiano) is a skilled manual worker who makes items that may be functional or strictly decorative, including furniture, clothing, jewellery, household items, and tools. The term can also be used as an adjective to refer to the craft of hand making food products, such as bread, beverages and cheese.<br /><br />Manufacture by hand and with hand tools imparts unique and individual qualities to artisanal products, in contrast to mass produced goods where every one is nearly identical. Artisans traditionally work in media such as stone, wood, ceramics, glass, common and precious metals, basketry, textiles, esparto grass, leather, fur, wax, paper, and flowers.<br /><br /><br />An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater that will flow upward through a well, called an artesian well, without the need for pumping. Water may even reach the ground surface if the natural pressure is high enough, in which case the well is called a flowing artesian well.<br /><br />I'd say both forms are "pumped up".staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872800621811343464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77487181876747706362011-01-27T09:18:55.264-05:002011-01-27T09:18:55.264-05:00Okay, so they're ADDING "-al" there,...Okay, so they're ADDING "-al" there, and taking them away from other words, like 'neurological'?<br /><br />Nice to know there's conservation of mass in the English language...Sarah Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455113960686270662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-52684644645489370052011-01-27T06:07:15.955-05:002011-01-27T06:07:15.955-05:00"Artesian" is a type of well where the w..."Artesian" is a type of well where the water is under pressure due to the angle of the water table.
