Migrant women will be leading this lovely Handmade Gift Workshop on Douglas Street

Making that list and checking it twice?
In a world where everything seems to arrive via next-day delivery and is wrapped in too much plastic, there’s something undeniably special about a handmade gift. Add to that the warmth of community, the sharing of stories, and the artistry of women from around the world, and you’ve got a workshop that feels like a hug in event form.
This weekend, at Cork Flower Studio on Douglas Street, migrant women will be leading a Handmade Gift Workshop that’s all about crafting and connection.
There are two workshop dates to choose from:
- Make-up/Toiletry Bag – Saturday, 23rd November (11am to 1pm)
- Candles – Sunday, 24th November (11am to 1pm)
“Book a place at our candle or bag-making workshops and get ready to craft your own unique Christmas gifts at our fun and interactive sessions!” the organisers, Saoirse Ethnic Hands on Deck, announced.

“Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned maker, you’ll be guided by our talented team of migrant women through the process of creating beautiful, handmade presents. It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon with friends, learn a new skill, and leave with a sense of accomplishment (and a few gifts in hand!)”
Book your place now (€26 per person – all materials and refreshments provided) here.
All proceeds from the event go directly into supporting migrant women and families in Cork, making this not just a fun and creative experience but also a meaningful and impactful one.
