    Hi,
    I don't know of any specific clubs - could be local painting groups, depends what you want. College of Commerce does adult ed night classes. Ballincollig has some too I think and maybe Douglas Community School, not sure.

    what crafts you interested in doing?

    There's a good internet art and crafts supply shop based in Cork and I'm sure they'd have a walk in shop also. corkartsupplies.com
    At least I assume they are in cork? I got a few stamps off them last year for wedding invitations and they were quite reasonably priced and posted them on to me quickly.

    Hope it helps

    Joyce's toy shop (Prince's street I think - off Oliver Plunkett street) has loads of stuff for arts and crafts. Glitter, pipecleaners, googly eyes, etc.

    yeah Joyce's is the best!!

    Cork Art Supplies though has a good notice board, and often have notices of classes etc. so it is definitely worth checking out.. think it's Princes St.

    Good luck:D
