Studio welcomes article pitches from both emerging and established writers, academics, scholars, and journalists writing about contemporary Canadian craft and design and related stories. We are interested in original ideas, unique voices and perspectives, little-known histories, and anything that challenges the status quo of craft and design and the ideas around making.
Studio Magazine is a national publication committed to thoughtful, careful, and engaging writing about contemporary Canadian craft and design. We also have an ongoing commitment to supporting and mentoring writers.
Studio accepts pitches and submissions in English and French.
Call for submissions
Spring/Summer 2026
DEADLINE: August 1st, 2025
Theme: RESONANCE
For this issue of Studio, we’re examining and questioning: how does craft relate to the world, and how is it used a tool for storytelling/worldmaking? How does craft build relationships between people, communities, generations? What are the connections between materials, and how can they be seen in new ways? What role does history/tradition play in modern craft, and how has craft transformed? How does Canadian craft impact the world, yet build a unique voice?
Topics of interest include:
-
Craft traditions and teaching legacies;
-
Transformative impacts (medium, material, message);
-
Cross-generational links and how knowledge shared and passed down;
-
How is craft used as a form of storytelling;
-
How does Canadian craft present itself of a world stage, and what makes it unique;
-
How does craft function as an act of translation;
-
How does craft shift, transform, and overcome boundaries.
WRITERS: Writers submit your pitch here.
