Does such a feat exist? And if so, what book? I haven't seen it in the ELH or anywhere outside of Deities & Demigods. Could someone offer some assistance with this?

No there is no feat for it.

As it says here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/artifacts.htm#minorArtifacts) "they are magic items that no longer can be created, at least by common mortal means."

Minor Artifacts
Minor artifacts are not necessarily unique items. Even so, they are magic items that no longer can be created, at least by common mortal means.
Major Artifacts
Major artifacts are unique items—only one of each such item exists. These are the most potent of magic items, capable of altering the balance of a campaign.

Minor Artifacts
Minor artifacts are not necessarily unique items, but rather magic items that no longer can be made by common mortal means—even by the hands of epic creators. Such items have no established market price. Below is a selection of known minor artifacts. (From the ELH)
Most artifacts have divine creators/users; the rules regarding their creation are left to the DM and are best summarized as: "Don't go too crazy now, y'hear?"

The only time I recall seeing rules for crafting them, it's in the Deities and Divinities. I don't recall it saying anything beyond 'you can make artifacts' either...

You mean Deities and Demigods, or is there another book out there I am unaware of?

Yeah, demigods, not divinities. Sorry, been doing a lot of stuff with another system lately... :(
