The term Artisan came into being during the Middle Ages. People who were considered Artisans were those who were Masters (or Apprentices) in a specific craft. Many of these crafts are still prevalent in today’s society. Artisanal Collaboration is a project that will encourage downtown business growth, within the selected community, through public involvement. The utilization of studio, kitchen, retail, and learning spaces in the final project will help improve the local economy of Forest Lake, Minnesota.
