August Craft Month, the largest annual celebration of craft on the island of Ireland has officially launched! An incredible line-up of almost 500 events are taking place on both sides of the border this August, from hands-on workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions, to open studios and markets. Brought together by Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) and Craft NI, the programme showcases the exceptional talent, creativity and craftsmanship found throughout Ireland.

Join Fiona Shannon at Flowerfield Arts Centre for a hand-building workshop: participants will make a coordinating pair of comfort mugs and coasters, featuring tactile botanical impressions inspired by cosy seasonal rituals and slow sipping. Works will be fired and ready for collection at a later date.
