    HOW TO APPLY

    This is a voluntary group who reviews applications every quarter and as such the application process can take up to 12 weeks.

    Please click on the ‘Membership Application Form’ button below in order to complete your application: Members are preferably registered with the Design and Craft Council of Ireland. If not registered with Design and Craft Council of Ireland, the membership committee can recommend to the Board to accept or refuse an application for membership, depending on the quality of the applicant’s work. Cork Craft & Design does not represent those working in painting.

    Once a member is accepted into membership, she/he will continue to be a member as long as the annual subscription is paid, when due. A lapsed member will be eligible to apply to rejoin the group. Such application will be treated as a new application for membership.

    The current annual membership fee is €70 per individual & €100 per couple (working in 2 different disciplines). New membership applications are considered by a sub-committee. This is a voluntary group who meet monthly and as such the application process can take up to 12 weeks.
