Membership

Are you a professional craft maker or designer working in County Cork or do you run a gallery or craft shop in Cork County? Then we would love to hear from you!

BENEFITS OF BEING A MEMBER

Membership of Cork Craft & Design is open to makers and designers who are living and working in Cork. Benefits include

  • Direct selling opportunities through CCD events — locally and nationally
  • Submit work for Cork Craft Month exhibitions with the opportunity to sell your work there
  • Craft work stocked at the Cork Craft & Design shop in Douglas and online at cork craftanddesign.com
  • Publicity and promotion through media releases and photo calls throughout the year
  • Online promotion on the Cork Craft & Design website and social media accounts
  • A monthly members-only newsletter
  • Access to an annual Cork Craft & Design photography scheme, offering subsidised sessions with a professional photographer
  • Networking opportunities
  • CCD does not represent those working in painting

Unlike many galleries and other organisations, Cork Craft & Design takes a minimum commission at our pop-up events, assuring the craft worker greater income
