In [[ancient Greece]], artisans were drawn to [[agora]]s and often built workshops nearby.<ref name="liag">{{cite book |title=Life in Ancient Greece |last=Peppas |first=Lynn |year=2005 |publisher=Crabtree Publishing Company |isbn=0778720357 |page=[https://archive.org/details/lifeinancientgre0000pepp/page/12 12] |url=https://archive.org/details/lifeinancientgre0000pepp |url-access=registration |accessdate=6 January 2017}}</ref>

 

During the [[Middle Ages]], the term "artisan" was applied to those who made things or provided services. It did not apply to unskilled [[manual labour]]ers. Artisans were divided into two distinct groups: those who operated their own businesses and those who did not. Those who owned their businesses were called [[Master craftsman|masters]], while the latter were the [[Journeyman|journeymen]] and [[Apprenticeship|apprentices]]. One misunderstanding many people have about this social group is that they picture them as "workers" in the modern sense: employed by someone. The most influential group among the artisans were the masters, the business owners. The owners enjoyed a higher social status in their communities.<ref>History of Western Civilization, Boise State University {{cite web|url=http://history.boisestate.edu/westciv/medsoc/23.shtml |title=Document No.23 |accessdate=2009-01-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107061228/http://history.boisestate.edu/westciv/medsoc/23.shtml |archivedate=2009-01-07 }}</ref>
