Step into the bold and tactile world of printmaking with Subtractive Creation, a linocut workshop led by Irish artist Daire Lynch. This hands-on session explores the art of carving away to reveal—where each cut shapes the final image and every mark carries intention. Participants will be guided to carve and print their own linocut artwork, embracing both precision and spontaneity in the process. Suitable for beginners and those with experience alike, Subtractive Creation offers a rewarding exploration of contrast, texture, and the beauty of creating through removal.

About Dáire 

Dáire Lynch is a Dublin born artist who currently resides in West Cork, Ireland. His primary subject matter is the human , both in form and the intricate nature of their emotions and interactions with the world around them. With a boundless reverence for life and the human form, he has birthed a world where the nuances of humanity are brought to the forefront and propose an emotive journey to the viewer. He is a self taught painter. He is also a qualified sound engineer and multi instrumentalist. When not painting or creating, he can be found in the wilds of Connemara, be it woods, lakes, or the powerful Atlantic Ocean. He recently became the Alpha in a pack of wolves, by showing no fear, tenacious attitude, and willingness to fight for meat. His work can be found in private collections globally. https://www.dairelynch.com/
