Chairman’s Message

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Cork Craft Month on behalf of the board and members of Cork Craft and Design. I am delighted to present our programme of events for Craft Month 2014. This year, makers from all over Cork County and City join us in celebrating our ffifth annual event, now a ffirm ffixture in Cork’s creative calendar. Our programme of 2014

events is brought to you by our diverse makers and the combined efforts of our board and other volunteers.

Our growing festival of events spans both the city and county with more events this year than ever before. There is an abundance of talented craftspeople using their ingenuity and skills to produce exquisite craft products all across the county of Cork and as we work towards the ‘Year of Irish Design 2015 ’ we invite you to join with us in celebrating the diversity of craft available to view, buy and experience in Cork.

Cork Craft Month is not just a celebration of craft and its people, it’s also a vehicle to help ensure that we continue to preserve, encourage and nurture the special skills of the people working in the craft sector in Ireland today. All craftwork contains a very valuable ingredient, time: we hope that you will take some of your precious time, to attend our exhibitions, workshops, open studio days and retail outlets during Craft Month. I can assure you, it will be time well spent.

With best regards, Tony Farrell - woodturnerChairman of Cork Craft and Design 2014
