Introduction

Education, training and development is at the core of the Crafts Council of Irelands, (CCoI), strategic plan. The Crafts Council recognise the critical role that education and training play in the future growth of Irish craft and in the preservation of our cultural heritage. CCoI works as an independent service provider and together with other education providers facilitates the development of education and training programmes to meet the needs of the crafts sector, both current and future.
