We're all excited about the announcement of events for Cork Craft Month throughout August. It started in style at the opening Craft Fair in Cork’s Marina Market last week.  

This month promises a diverse line-up of over 79 workshops and exhibitions, including masterclasses, artist talks, trails and demonstrations across three central locations, Benchspace studio in Cork City, Kilcoe Studio in Ballydehob, and Greywood Arts in Killeagh.
