Crafts and Guilds
Crafts
and Guilds
Population grew, and as a result there was greater
demand for clothes and objects made of wood and metal. The number of craftsmen
increased. There were weavers, coopers, stone masons, dyers.
Craftsmen made their products by hand. They worked in
workshops, which were located in the artisan’s house. The products were sold
there too.
Craftsmen of the same profession often lived in the
same street.
From the 12thC, all artisans in the same
profession joined a guild. The guild controlled production, distributed raw
materials, controlled the quality of the craft. Nobody could work in a trade if
they did not join a guild.
