Cork Craft and Design Month

Cork Craft Month returns this August with its biggest programme yet, featuring over 90 workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions and markets designed to connect the public directly with the county's vibrant craft community.

Organised by Cork Craft & Design, a social enterprise representing more than 110 professional makers and artists, Cork Craft Month celebrates both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary-making through a diverse programme of hands-on experiences, exhibitions and demonstrations. Running throughout August in association with August Craft Month, the festival shines a spotlight on the creativity, skill and innovation of Cork's thriving craft community.

The programme will include hands-on workshops, allowing visitors to experience the making process first-hand. These include free Crafting Connections workshops, a Cork County Library Project supported by the Cork County Council Creative Communities Grant which includes Willow Weaving with Cois Laoi Willow, Beginner Embroidery and Lino Print Workshop.
