Editorial Independence
The Artisan Founder aims to provide accurate, balanced and informative content for readers.
While we may receive information from brands, public relations agencies and industry contacts, all published content is reviewed and edited before publication. Editorial decisions are made independently and content is selected based on its relevance to our audience and editorial focus.
Founder Stories
Founder Stories are developed from information and images provided directly by the featured business. Where appropriate, submissions may be edited for clarity, length and consistency with our editorial style.
Directory Listings
The Artisan Founder directory is editorially curated and grows as we discover artisan businesses we believe will be of interest to our readers.
Businesses may be added to the directory through editorial research, direct submissions or recommendations. Our aim is to help readers discover independent brands, makers and producers creating distinctive products with care and attention to quality.
Where possible, businesses are notified when they are featured via their contact page or public email. Directory listings are designed to connect readers directly with the featured business through its own website, in much the same way as a reader might discover a business through a search engine.
Information included within a directory listing is believed to be accurate at the time of publication. However, websites, products, services and business information may change over time. The Artisan Founder is not responsible for the content, availability or accuracy of third-party websites reached through links from our directory.
Product Features and Collections
Products featured within editorial collections are selected based on their relevance to the theme of the article and their alignment with the values of The Artisan Founder. Inclusion within an editorial feature does not imply endorsement beyond the context of the article.
Accuracy
We make every effort to ensure information is accurate at the time of publication. However, details relating to products, availability, pricing, events and businesses may change over time.
If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us and we will review the information promptly.
Image Credits and Copyright
The Artisan Founder uses images supplied directly by featured businesses, their representatives, or images displayed on the official websites of businesses featured within our directory and editorial content.
We make every effort to use images in good faith and to credit photographers, artists and creators where credit information has been provided to us.
If you are the copyright holder of an image featured on The Artisan Founder and believe a credit has been omitted, is incorrect, or an image has been used without appropriate permission, please contact us with the relevant details. We will review the matter promptly and, where appropriate, update the credit, replace the image or remove it from publication.
