I dont know if its relevant but I have heard the term "WHITEARTS" used in
conjunction with working with paper products. Perhaps a WHITESMITH has
nothing to do with metal at all.

I thought it was just a term used for folks that worked with white metals -
pewter, silver and the like.  What is in a name anyway?  I like just
"Metalsmith", much less limiting than White-, Black-, Copper-, Silver, Blade-
smith.
