A short article from the Master Weaver newsletter that compares medieval weavers' guilds with modern handweavers' guilds. It describes how the old guilds protected members from competition, kept prices up and supervised training, and says modern guilds still share those aims. It gives advice on choosing and joining a guild, including checking by-laws, registration and democratic elections, and it distinguishes member-run guilds from commercial guild-like businesses.
