benchspace Bites – Serving Board – Aug 2025 – CRAFT MONTH

August Craft Month shines a spotlight on Ireland’s thriving craft scene and provides unique opportunities for people to learn about, make, see, and buy craft. Whether you’re curious to learn, eager to create, or looking to discover something handmade and meaningful, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

benchspace Bites are short, hands-on sessions designed to give beginners a taste of our craft disciplines.
Whether a hobbyist, enthusiast or considering a career in woodwork, we will explore fundamental skills and you will create your very own piece in a single class.
