leatherworking guilds

Leatherworking guilds are organizations that bring together artisans dedicated to crafting and refining leather products. Historically, they served as professional associations that provided training, set quality standards, and protected the interests of their members. These guilds fostered skill development through apprenticeships, ensured craftsmanship consistency, and facilitated knowledge sharing. Today, modern equivalents may function as craft groups or associations, supporting artisans through networking, education, and promoting high standards within the leatherworking community. Overall, they aim to preserve craftsmanship, improve techniques, and uphold the reputation of leather artisans.
