Summer at The Artisan Founder

AN EDITOR’S LETTER

‘Light lingers in the evenings now. The garden stays warm long after the sun has dipped behind the hills, and here under the walnut tree, the quiet hum of summer feels full of possibility.

This season, I’ve been especially enjoying putting together our weekly edit of featured finds. The quality and detail in the pieces continues to distract me from what I’m doing to explore more. From hand-thrown ceramics to intricate jewellery, every product has a story and it’s an honour to share them.

The Artisan Founder was created to support brands like these. Not through flashy campaigns or fast trends, but through gentle visibility and honest storytelling. We don’t take commission. We link directly to each maker’s own website. That choice has always felt right.

This summer, you’ll notice a few new things blooming across the site…’
