I just wanted to piggyback on this to say that I find myself now using Instagram primarily to find new artists and artisans. You will find these nests of people active in a craft, most of them willing to share methods, and even willing to speak one on one in some cases.

Shakespeare's Globe is a fine example of globe made by craftsmen.
