KHITON
A Press and Atelier for the Unhurried Life
KHITON
ISSUE NO. 1 March 21st, 2026.
We celebrate the power of community, craft, and care—in our lived-in homes and at our kitchen tables.
This issue features stories of those who make, mend, heal, and tend. No algorithms, no hype.
Just honest work, beautifully told.
Launches at cafes, bookstores, and free press stands across Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts this spring.
STRAIGHT FROM THE PRESS ROOM
Local stories of makers and creators celebrating patience, practice, and the work of hands.
Elwood Donnelly
For Elwood Donnelly, the world disappears and patterns emerge from raw reed: an acclaimed musician who found his second craft at 50. A maker who measures worth in what lasts.
Linda Rhynhard
Linda Rhynhard left corporate life twice before finding her loom. Now, in her East Bay studio, she weaves tapestries entirely self-taught—proof that the most meaningful work often comes third.
