About
Three people who make things, writing about how
Low Season started as a shared notebook between a workshop and two studios. It became a journal when friends kept asking to read it.
Why it exists
Most advice about work is about doing more of it, faster
What we write about
Repair and maintenance, tools and routines, naming and writing, and how small teams decide what to do next. Each essay starts from something one of us actually did, and most of them end with what we would do differently.
How it works
One essay every other Wednesday, published here and sent to subscribers. No sponsors and no adverts. The journal is paid for by the three of us, and it costs very little, which is part of the point.
Writing to us
Replies to the newsletter reach all three of us. We read every one, answer most, and sometimes a letter becomes an essay. If we quote you, we ask first.
