Jewelry-Makers Should Be Given Artist-Status.
Jewlery-making is a Fine Art. It should be given a status reflecting of it's nature inn the Arts Community. And not considered to be a Fashion/Beauty items, because it is not.

I've made jewelry by hand and it's twice as hard as carpentry.

Ah don’t sweat it. The fine arts community is busily climbing down the rabbit hole of its own navel. These days the best art is largely coming from people who lack the pretentions and are just doing what they like to do, say jewelry for example. The line between artist and craftsman has always been blurry. The first craftsman was the potter and they were the first artists as well as they started putting individual designs on their pots so everyone would know who made it. Pottery also let us store food and water for extended periods of time which allowed us to start civilization. So anyone who claims that craftsmen aren’t artists is a big git.

Neon light makers should also be given status in the arts community, and Im sure there are much more other jobs that should be given a status in the arts community too.
