From
the first issue, Workbox set out to stand as a source of information
and inspiration for its readers. Information was supplied for readers
on the wide variety of subjects that needlecrafts encompass and in advertisements
for materials and other products essential to the enthusiast's hobby.
Inspiration enabled readers to develop their own skills in their chosen
discipline. Workbox has changed over the years but the principal aims
of Audrey Babington are still adhered to. Features cover as many subjects
in needlecrafts, textiles and fabrics as possible, with articles by
leading authors and practitioners in their particular subjects. New
ideas are explored and traditional methods are explained with considerable
use of colour pictures. Modern developments of traditional skills are
explained by exponents.Wherever possible, advertisements are promoted
in the subjects covered to give readers details of suppliers whom they
may wish to contact. There is always wide advertising covering the whole
spectrum of the needle world.
Workbox remains a source of ideas, information and inspiration for readers
of all ages who want to develop their skills, want to be kept informed,
or who simply want a good read. Published bi-monthly, the magazine cover
price is £2.75. Subscription prices are just £14 for 6 issues, or £27
for 12 issues. |
