craftspeople


Explanation:
Craftsmen/craftswomen is gender-locked. Craftspeople goes for both genders so it might jus be what you are looking for.

tradesmen and women

artisans


Explanation:
I think the other options you received are also good options. I'm just adding this to the pot. I find "craftspeople" to be perhaps slightly more oriented toward something like jewelry-making or pottery. "Artisans" seems to me a broader term. Again, more context would help, including the date of the text.
