Craft Experiences

Create something real in Kilkenny, a World Crafts Council City and Region of Craft. Step inside working studios and creative spaces where craft is not just something to watch, but something to experience first-hand.

From shaping clay and working with glass, to blending botanicals, crafting textiles and learning traditional techniques, each experience brings you closer to the materials, the maker and the place. Meet local craftspeople, hear the stories behind their work and discover the care and skill woven into Kilkenny’s craft tradition.

Take time to slow down, learn something new and create something personal to take home. Whether you choose a hands-on workshop, a studio tour or a maker-led experience, you will leave with more than a memory. You will leave with a piece of Kilkenny shaped by you
