A little trip down memory lane!

Did you know? West Cork Crafts is currently located at 4 Bridge Street, Skibbereen, but it's not our original location.

We opened in March 2012 at our first permanent location on Townshend Street (top right), before moving to bigger premises at the old Morris Gallery by the Uillinn Arts Centre in 2015 (bottom right).

Major flood works forced closure at the end of 2017, and after a few months of searching, our current premises became available. We reopened on Easter Saturday 2018, and have been here ever since.

More examples of their work can also be found throughout the month of June at the 'Tides' Exhibition in in Bandon. Well worth a look if you're passing through.

Finally, a few days of Summer!

These pieces from give us sunshine vibes, and looked amazing in our window with the sunlight shining through.

Mike uses cathedral and opalescent glass in his pieces; and is inspires by the West Cork landscape and coastline, as can be seen by his beautiful lamp modelled on the nearby Baltimore Beacon.
