So I took the time and got a fairly wide variety of resources and went about crafting a few items and got enough to train in my first level. I've bone some crafting since but I am not getting any expereince for them whether in practice or produce mode.
What (certain to be blindingly clear) step am I failing to understand?

Um, are you capped?
You can only "bank" so much experience. Generally, this is twice the amount required for the highest skill box you can train with that experience. So if you are only a Novice artisan, at 500 general crafting xp you can train any of the first level boxes. You can choose not to at that time, and just continue making stuff. But once you hit 1000 xp the game basically says "that's enough, you can't have any more".
After training a first-level box, now the highest skill you can train requires 1000 xp. At that point, you can bank 2000 xp.
This capping is probably more for combat players than crafters. As you gain combat skill, you get less xp for killing the same creatures. Without a cap, a player might be able to level easier by staying at a low level, getting more xp per kill, and then buying a bunch of skills all at once.

Ok, another question then: what are you making? Different crafted items give different kinds of xp. Making an instrument, for example, gives music xp, not general crafting. Camps (and I think traps) give survivial xp, stims give medical crafting xp, etc.
If you're stuck at 593 while making things learned in artisan boxes (CDEF weapons, survey tools, dice, etc), then something's wrong, and I'm not sure what to tell you other than to open a CSR ticket.
