About
The highly anticipated month-long celebration of Irish craft has officially launched!
This year’s August Craft Month brings together an array of talented makers hosting over 300 events across the island of Ireland such as Seaweed Pressing with Farraige in Co.Cork, silversmithing classes in Co. Down, making your own upcycled tote bag with Leitrim Design House, and a range of masterclasses with one of Ireland’s leading ceramic artists, Jim Turner.
This programme celebrates craft traditions that are hundreds of years old, and the fresh, modern ways people across Ireland still use and share them today.
With events taking place across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, August Craft Month provides unique opportunities for people to get involved and support the 600+ makers involved by taking part in workshops, buying hand-crafted pieces and learning more about the skills involved.
The packed programme currently has over 300 events planned, allowing everyone, of all ages, and all levels of expertise to immerse themselves in creative craft celebrations on their doorstep and hit the road on a craft inspired adventure.
This year, makers have come together to form more established communities, planning a wide range of events that will appeal to everyone, from the craft enthusiasts to collectors, or families planning a day out with kids.
Supported by Design & Crafts Council Ireland and Craft NI, the annual celebration is once again part of an island-wide summer programme.
All August Craft Month events are run independently by the event organisers. For questions regarding any events please contact the event organiser directly.
