The programme for Cork Craft Month has been launched
The event takes place in August and will feature over 70 workshops, masterclasses, artist talks and demonstrations.
Craft and food markets will take place at St Patrick's Mills in Douglas, while an exhibition featuring furniture makers and potters will take place at Douglas Village Shopping Centre.
Events will also take place in Macroom, Skibbereen and Killeagh
Speaking to RedFM News, Operations Manager at Cork Craft and Design Carol Walsh says the pandemic has been a difficult time for crafters:
"But the lockdowns of the last year have also created opportunities that we never could have imagined before. Being at home allowed space to focus, to be creative, and to try new things. Finding the positives of the past 16 months, our 110-strong membership have built online communities through social media, took the time to hone their skills, and responded to a changing world through their art."
