In Greek mythology, the god most associated with building, craftsmanship, and artisanry is Hephaestus (known as Vulcan in Roman mythology). He was the god of fire, metalworking, stone masonry, forges, sculpture, and blacksmithing.
Hephaestus was known as the craftsman of the gods, creating their weapons, armor, and palaces. He built Zeus's throne, Achilles's armor, and various magical items and automatons. He was typically depicted with a hammer and anvil, symbols of his craft.
While Hermes had many roles (messenger of the gods, god of trade, travelers, thieves, and boundaries), he wasn't specifically associated with building or construction.
Is there something specific about Greek mythology or divine craftsmen you're interested in learning more about?
