Basically, an artisan bread is a bread made by a crafts person using largely traditional techniques. It is usually assumed that such a bread is largely made by hand, however many artisan bakeries use mixers, hydraulic dividers, and molders so the amount of hands on craftsmanship is greatly diminished.
There is a lot of argument in artisan bakeries about where the line should be drawn between artisan bread and artisan style bread. The bakers who do everything by hand draw the line differently than the bakers who use lots of automated help. If you make a loaf of sandwich bread, shaping it by hand, putting it into a bread pan, and baking in your home, it is an artisan bread. Artisan bread definitely does not have to be free form!
