Answer 2

Answer:

The craft guilds were the association of different artisans and craftsmen of the medieval period.

Explanation:

Craftspersons in the Middle Ages formed guilds as a means of controlling their livelihoods. As there were no trade schools, trades were taught by persons who mastered the craft (masters) to journeymen and apprentices, who learned from and worked for masters until they proved themselves with a masterpiece.

Examples include weavers, dyers, armorers, bookbinders, painters, masons, bakers, leatherworkers, embroiderers, cobblers (shoemakers), and candlemakers. These were called craft guilds.
