2026 Print Schedule
The Artisan Founder Newspaper is published within each season, not ahead of it. Each issue is shaped by what the season is offering at that moment, encouraging readers to slow down, notice their surroundings, and engage with makers and materials in a way that feels timely rather than rushed.
Rather than looking far ahead, each edition reflects the rhythms of the months it appears in, allowing space for considered reading and thoughtful discovery.
Spring
Production February | Distribution March
A season of sowing and new beginnings, shaped by early growth, lighter days, and the quiet optimism that comes with starting afresh.
Summer
Production May | Distribution June
An edition rooted in abundance and colour, celebrating sharing, gatherings, and the richness of work made to be enjoyed and used often.
Autumn
Production August | Distribution September
A season of noticing the shift towards cosier days, shaped by foraging, preserving, and thoughtful festive buying as routines begin to slow and attention turns inward.
Winter
Production November | Distribution December
An edition for slower reading and quieter rhythms, offering space for reflection, planning ahead, and considered choices during the darker months of the year.
