Definition:
A craftsperson is normally recognized and associated with an individual with a highly specialized skill. Craftsperson is the non-sexist evolution of craftsman. However, 'craftsmanship' is still occasionally used for the sheer awkwardness of ‘craftspersonship'. While used in official correspondence, ‘craftsperson' is quite formal, like ‘chairperson'.
