Coming Soon · National Publication
Patchings Magazine
A brand-new, national-level magazine published for the love of Patchings, the arts, and Patchings Art Fest — and for everything that surrounds them.
A New Chapter For Patchings
For The Love Of Patchings, And The Arts
After more than three decades at the heart of the UK art, craft and design world, Patchings is launching a magazine of its own. Patchings Magazine will be a national-level publication — printed and digital — created for everyone who loves art, craft, design and the countryside events that bring them to life.
It will carry the story of Patchings Art Fest and Patchings Art Centre, yes — but its real ambition reaches further: artist profiles, studio visits, technique and materials features, event listings, exhibition reviews and the wider conversation happening across the UK arts scene. If Patchings Art Fest is three days a year, Patchings Magazine is the thread that runs through every month in between.
What’s Inside
A Magazine Built Around Art, Craft & Community
Artist & Maker Profiles
In-depth features on the painters, potters, sculptors and designers who exhibit at Patchings and beyond — their process, their studios, their stories.
Patchings & The Art Fest
Behind-the-scenes coverage of Patchings Art Centre and Patchings Art Fest — news, previews, exhibitor spotlights and festival reports.
Technique & Materials
Practical features on materials, mediums and techniques — drawing on the same expertise behind Patchings’ own art classes and shop.
Events & Exhibitions
A national calendar of art fairs, exhibitions, open studios and craft events worth the trip — curated, not just listed.
Galleries & Collecting
Features for collectors and new buyers alike — gallery visits, buying guides and the stories behind notable works.
Community Voices
Reader letters, reviews, and contributions from the wider arts community — because this magazine is built with its readers, not just for them.
Who It’s For
Readers, Contributors & Advertisers
Patchings Magazine is for art lovers, collectors and makers who want more than a festival weekend. It is also an open door for the wider arts community: writers, photographers and artists who want to contribute features, galleries and tutors who want to reach a national readership, and brands who want to advertise to an audience that genuinely cares about art, craft and design.
