The Forest Craft Guild (FCG) was started by Forest Emerson Mann in 1905 and closed sometime around 1918. Mann was a student of artist/design professor Arthur Wesley Dow at the Pratt Institute (Brooklyn) around 1902. He gradually made his way to Grand Rapids, where he founded the guild. The guild is believed to be responsible for many of the lamp shades produced during the period by the Stickley Brothers and Charles Limbert.
