The Society's journal is produced four times a year in January, April, July and October. The aim of the journal is to promote the work of the heraldic artist. This is primarily achieved by reports on commissions and other works carried out by the Craft Members of the Society. There are occasional articles on great heraldic artists of the past and there is also a smattering of technical pieces on heraldic design and artistic technique. Because heraldic representation is based on tincture, from April 2002, The Heraldic Craftsman has been produced in full colour to enable the best reproduction of the artist's and craftsmen's work.
