West Cork Craft Industries Highlighted in National Exhibition

Alison Ospina has collated archived material uncovered in her research for her book West Cork Inspires to form part of an exhibition to celebrate the Year of Craft.

West Cork Inspires tracks the migration of a community of craft workers who formed a co-operative movement that grew to become a leading outlet for top quality crafts countrywide. The development and launch of the book in London was supported by West Cork Development Partnership.

The exhibition runs at Farmleigh in Dublin's Phoenix Park until the end of July, before travelling on to the Cork Public Museum in October and the West Cork Arts Centre in Skibbereen next January.
