Because of the Eurocentric separation between art and craft that took place in the modern era, _artesanato_ still has a negative connotation, denoting an amateur, low-skilled type of work, often engaged in by women as an income supplement. Thus, most educated craftspeople in Brazil dislike the designation of _artesão_ or _artesã_ (craftsman and craftswoman, respectively) for themselves.
