Designer Sonya Lennon hailed it “the Champagne of craft fairs”.

And now Cork crafters and makers have been offered a chance to showcase their products in one of the busiest pre-Christmas markets around.

For three days in November (11th-13th), the Glucksman spaces will be brimming with beautiful gifts and a seasonal opportunity to buy Irish during The Glucksman Craft + Design Fair.

The event has a reputation for showcasing high-quality Irish craft and design and features leading Irish designers presenting work in textiles, jewellery, ceramics, glass, and woodturning.

The crafts on sale are aimed at a range of budgets and provide shoppers with a wonderful way to buy and give Irish this Christmas.

A special awards section announced on the opening night will honour the achievements of the participating craft artists and designers in different categories too.

Advance time slots are available now and applications close on Monday, September 19th so email info@glucksman.org for more details.
