Are Porter Blanchard and Arthur Stone silversmithing hobbyists, or professionals? I really really think that a list of famous hobbyists is inappropriate, and professionals certainly don't belong here, either. --MichaelTinkler

IMHO a new section under "Visual Arts and Design" called something like "Traditional Crafts". Included would be areas like silversmith, glass working, blacksmith, and woodworking.

Traditional visual arts:

Painting Drawing Sculpture Photography Crafts **HERE**

Design:

[Fashion design]? Graphic design [Interior decoration]? Crafts *HERE* (or maybe here) [Industrial design]?

I am not sure describing a hobby as spare-time is politically correct. I think we should describe it as recreational.
