FOR the inevitable rainy days that speckle our otherwise sunny summer, Cork Craft Month kicks off on Tuesday next and runs through to September 5 at venues throughout the city and county.

Cork Craft and Design: This site brings together the very best of Cork’s craftmakers and artists, from ceramicists and jewellers to textile-workers and sculptors.
