The creator(s) of Puma Punku.
If that was really an industrialized product, then I would go with makers of statues in Ancient Greece.
Yes i would definetely go for Φειδίας to see one of the seven wonders of the ancient world
Tough question! Among many others, I would love to have seen John Townsend of Newport, Rhode Island, working in his shop. (1733-1809)

Timeless work!
I will see how Albrecht Dürer engraved his knot series on the wood block.
Also, will go to the Edo period and see Ukiyoe woodblock print processes

That’s some detailed work.
Wouldn’t have to travel too far back, but I would love to watch Andrew Wyeth paint.
Maybe I can score a discount on the time machine rental if it’s less than 100 years back?
He has is unique style!
Maybe Steve Wozniak so I can also warn him about Steve Jobs
