Finding master craftsman
They are located at the makers path in the north east part of the grove.

OK, I think I may have found the master craftsman at the crafting stations (they were on the lower level). I am a elemental level 5, and when I go to the master artificer, the Artificing Station’ menu pops up, but I’ve no idea what to do now.
No advise or conversation is offered by the master craftsman, just this ‘Artificing Station’ menu with tabs on the left hand side. The wiki section on crafting suggest that the master craftsmen offer advise (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting). This doesn’t seem to be the case here.
I do have some relevant items I collected earlier, but some may have been moved somewhere else because I used the ‘deposit all collectibles’ option before. Do such items appear in the ‘Collections’ tab of the Artificing Station.
If you want to become an artificer, you have to talk to the Master Artificer next to the crafting station. He will offer a dialogue like: Teach me to be an artificer.
If you accept, Artificer will be one of your active crafting professions (you can have 2 professions active per character).
If you want to check, which profession you have active atm, go to your hero panel and select the crafting tab. Once you done that, you can select the profession on top to check your progress, if you have 1 or 2 professions active. If you go to the artificer station, you have 5 tabs on the left.
The first is for discovery, which allows you to discover recipes which you havent learned yet and that dont need a recipe sheet to learn.
The 2nd is the crafting panel, where all recipes are listed that you learned until now.
The 3rd is your bank tab that shows your account bank storage and the 4th is the collectible tab, where you can find the crafting materials that you deposited.

Stand right on top off him so the “talk” option shows instead of “open crafting station”.
Did the required level for learning a profession drop?
I have not read any such thing.
So if it is still in place you will be able to read instructions/learn a profession from the MasterCrafters when your Character is LvL 10.
Ah and about the “vanishing objects”.
Your account has a storage for most gathered objects, where the stuff vanishes into, if you press “deposit all collectibles”
Yes, you will be able to access the collections via any crafting station (not the Master Crafter), regardless of your Profession, even without one.
There is a tab on the left, where you can switch from the (now still empty) Recepies to the Collection.
You can also find the “Bank”-Person (in all major Cities) and switch from your account bank to your collection. (again on the left tabs)
