“…Some studies of artisan entrepreneurs have found that non-financial motives are significant, for example, personal happiness, independence (e.g. Alonso and Alexander, 2017; Chatterjee et al , 2017), the valuation of craft traditions or a desire to reinforce the surrounding region’s cultural identity (Ezeuduji, 2015; Vitasurya, 2016).…”

Purpose Rural entrepreneurship is an emergent field of study, with these start-ups becoming one of the most noticeable ways to promote rural development, but the few studies concerning innovation among artisans have thus far only been exploratory. The purpose of this paper is to examine the entrepreneurial artisan initiatives of young innovators in a peripheral northern area of Portugal where black pottery is produced. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative data analysis was carried out on in-depth semi-structured interviews with three young artisan innovators and entrepreneurs and one individual who functions as a cultural booster. The content analysis was done using QSR International’s NVivo Version 11 software. Findings These young entrepreneurs have developed commercial activities and introduced innovations (i.e. design and process) into black pottery production, while taking advantage of endogenous materials, local culture and traditional knowledge. These individuals have sought not only to generate their own innovations but also to keep their culture and local traditions alive, thereby contributing to rural development by establishing networks with local young artisans. Research limitations/implications Some limitations are linked to the sample’s size and basis in a specific geographic reality. Practical implications The findings provide a fuller understanding of why some rural artisan firms grow, suggesting that artisans’ networks and innovative and entrepreneurial behaviours play a key role. Originality/value This research’s results contribute to the literature on the role that innovation can play as a booster of rural artisanship through networks and entrepreneurship. This paper is among the first to discuss black pottery as a form of artisan entrepreneurship. The results underline the value of innovations and networks, which were found to be the core ingredients in rural artisan entrepreneurship.

“…In terms of specific in-depth research on micro-entrepreneurs of craft beer the international literature contains only a relatively small number of contributions. Existing studies have focussed on entrepreneurs and micro-breweries in the United Kingdom (Danson et al, 2015;Ellis & Bosworth, 2015), USA (Alonso, 2011), Italy (Cannatelli et al, 2019), Sweden (Frisk & Johansson, 2018) and Australia (Watne et al, 2012;Watne & Hakala, 2013;Alonso & Alexander, 2017). Home brewing, the production of fermented beverages for (mostly) non-commercial purposes, is a hobby which is viewed as a seedbed or generator of business start-up intentions for craft breweries and microbreweries (Biraglia & Kadile, 2017).…”

“…In several investigations the transition of a hobby into a business is explained by the entrepreneurs' desire to share their passion for craft beer (Watne et al, 2012;Watne & Hakala, 2013;Alonso & Alexander, 2017;Frisk & Johannsson, 2018). The concept of 'entrepreneurial passion' is defined by Cardon et al (2009: 515) as "consciously accessible intense positive feelings experienced by engagement in entrepreneurial activities associated with roles that are meaningful for the self-identity of the entrepreneur".…”

“…Frisk & Johansson (2018: 40) explore the motivations for business start-up of craft brewers in Sweden and stress "it was their passion for the craft and the product that motivated them to start their companies". In another study conducted in Australia once again passion for the industry and hobby of craft brewing emerged as a driving force for new start-ups (Alonso & Alexander, 2017). The multiple challenges of entrepreneurship in micro-brewing are highlighted in the UK context both by Danson et al (2015) and Ellis & Bosworth (2015).…”

“…As a whole, these findings from South Africa align closely to those reported from other investigations particularly those in Australia, Sweden and the USA concerning business start-up and entrepreneurial motivations (cf. Alonso, 2011;Watne et al, 2012;Alonso & Alexander, 2017;Frisk & Johansson, 2018). Arguably, the craft beer economy of South Africa has been entered by a mass of entrepreneurs with a passion for the product, for the industry and to take up opportunities to untap a niche market.…”
