On sale on 24 May priced £4.99, the 84-page magazine will introduce readers to new crafts and reveal how they can make money from their hobby. The magazine will be packed with projects and ideas, all of which can be made to sell, as well as features that will explain how to price and package craft makes, sell work online and donate makes to a good cause.
Anna Davenport, Launch Editor of Craftseller and Creative Development Publisher for Origin Publishing, commented: “Craftseller will be an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to turn their hobby into a business. It’s packed with wonderful features and reviews that sit alongside great project ideas and advice from top experts and crafters already living the make-and-sell dream. We’re excited to be bringing a new angle to the craft market and catering to an enthusiastic and growing community of crafters.”
Craftseller is the latest title from Origin’s craft portfolio, which already includes Cardmaking & Papercraft and The World of Cross Stitching, which says Origin, are the best-selling papercraft and stitching magazines on the UK newsstand respectively.
Issue one of Craftseller is covermounted with a book of labels, and features a 23-page summer fete inspiration pull-out. Also in the issue there is the first instalment of a guide to successful selling on ‘Etsy’, the online handmade marketplace; an interview with Kari Chapin, craft guru and author of The Handmade Marketplace; and a knitting pattern for the Queen, taken from Fiona Goble’s hugely successful Knit Your Own Royal Wedding book. Issue two of the magazine will go on sale at the end of August.
