Handmade with Passion and Quality
An Irish Artisans Collective...
West Cork Crafts began as a pop up shop in 2011 as an experimental enterprise for the Christmas season. After a successful run; the decision was made to open a permanent shop, so In March 2012, and with a group of sixteen artists and crafters, the West Cork Crafts Co-operative was born. Located originally on Townshend Street, Skibbereen; work featured art, photography, textiles, woodwork, ceramics, jewellery, greetings cards, fashion, candles, metal work, cosmetics and stained/fused glass.
In 2015 the group moved to a larger premises at the old Morris Gallery, by the Uillinn Arts Centre. With an influx of new members, West Cork Crafts evolved, adding origami art, soap makers, paper craft, knitwear and wooden gifts to its expanding list of creative crafts. We remained in operation here until the the end of 2017 when major flood work operations in the town forced the shop to close after Christmas.
We have been in our present location at 4 Bridge Street, Skibbereen since March 2018, and are now proud to present thirty one individual artists and crafters; all based within County Cork. With a diverse range of beautiful products ranging from fine arts, textiles, homewares, jewellery, wood crafts, stained glass, candles, skin care, ceramics, metal art, children's craft, painted glass and knitwear, our carefully curated collection epitomises the fresh, unique artisan quality that we have become renowned for.
