THE CRAFT OF CREATING
Original Kerry promotes a network of fine craft makers who are
based in County Kerry. Our makers are located across the County
and many are represented on Kerry Craft Trails. Our aim is to
support contemporary and traditional craft making from our County.
Your support can help us achieve this ambition. Craft makers are a
vital aspect of Kerry’s unique cultural mix ... don’t miss out on them!
Kerry Craft Trails is an initiative of Original Kerry that gives access
to the public to view and participate in the making of fine craft. We
highlight the process of craft making through demonstrations and
workshops with the makers, who open their doors to
visitors exploring Kerry Craft Trails.
Kerry Craft Trails is ideally suited to small
groups (max. 20) and fully independent
travellers. Look for the Kerry Craft Trails
sign on approved craft makers’ premises.
Many makers have a studio, shop, toilets and
coffee facilities on-site.
BOOKINGS
Feel free to drop in and visit any of our craft trail locations. To book
demonstrations or workshops, please contact the craft maker directly,
prior to visiting. A charge is at the discretion of the craft maker.
