This page sets out the rules for using our editorial magazine, the responsibilities we each carry, and the limits of our liability. Please read it before relying on any maker profile, studio guide or commissioning advice we publish.
The Australian Artisan is an editorial magazine covering contemporary Australian craftsmanship. We publish maker profiles, studio visit reports, material explorations and reviews of handcrafted objects. We also provide practical guides on commissioning custom pieces, caring for handmade goods and identifying quality construction. The content is intended for general information and personal reading, not as professional certification of any maker or product.
You may read, share and link to our articles for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not republish our text, photographs or maker interviews without written permission. When you commission a piece from a maker we profile, the contract is between you and that maker. We do not act as an agent, broker or guarantor for any studio, workshop or individual featured on this site.
We take care to verify the facts in our articles, including studio locations, material claims and technique descriptions. We correct errors promptly when they are brought to our attention. However, we cannot guarantee that every detail remains current, because makers move studios, change processes and adjust their offerings over time. We encourage you to confirm details directly with a maker before travelling or commissioning work.
We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from decisions you make based on our editorial content. This includes but is not limited to commissioned pieces that do not meet your expectations, studio visits that are cancelled or relocated, and care instructions that you apply incorrectly. Our reviews reflect the honest opinion of the writer at the time of writing, and we do not accept payment in exchange for favourable coverage.
You may stop using this site at any time. We may restrict access to specific articles or to the whole site if we detect misuse, such as automated scraping, commercial republication without permission, or attempts to interfere with the site's operation. We will notify you by email if we have your contact details, and we will explain the reason for the restriction.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our editorial practices or legal requirements. The current version will always be available on this page, with the date of the latest revision noted at the top. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. If you have questions about this document, write to info@theaustralianartisan.com.
