**I’m including the category of Study Groups as a resource. Study groups are NOT guilds, but might be the budding of a guild or the remnants of a floundering guild. They are designed to encourage a common interest in lettering arts. They gather as often or as little as they choose without any formal structure, but perhaps with enough interest, a new guild could come to life. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? tjk
