The Blackwater Valley Makers will celebrate five years in Fermoy during Cork Craft Month with their main event “In The Making” taking place on Saturday, 26th August.

Pat Murphy, CK53 Design, wood worker and designer, is inviting people to bring in their favourite wooden chopping boards where he will sand them and apply a fresh coat of beeswax polish on them.

John O Shea, will do a woodturning demonstration on his lathe, showing the process involved in producing a beautiful and functional bowl made from native Irish wood.
