Benchspace Cork partners with local and national organisations to promote the development of inclusive, locally rooted and sustainable creative enterprises.
When funding is available, we have maker scholarships and enterprise programmes available to help with the costs of training classes.
Find out more about supports for makers on our Programmes Page.
Contact us to find out if any are currently available and if you qualify for one of these.
As part of our objective to increase public engagement in Irish design and creative manufacturing we offer regular, maker-led, open access to our workshops in the form of Open Making sessions. These public drop-in events provide informal opportunities for the making-curious and would-be creatives to interact with professional makers and discover pathways into making. If you would like to sign up for one of our Open Making sessions, or if you’re a professional maker interested in volunteering, please get in contact.
