Lino Printing Workshop | Gillian O'Shea

Gillian O’Shea’s solo show ‘all flesh’ (14 October – 25 November 2023, GOMA Waterford) is inspired by the artist’s investigations of the often forgotten and unseen intrinsic importance of fungi and lichens in stabilising networks of living relationships. These humble organisms are intrinsically connected to vast networks of life on earth, including our own. Yet, to most of us they are inconsequential.

In this 2-hour lino printing workshop, O’Shea will guide participants through playful exploration of the natural world, drawing inspiration from the mighty mycelial network that weaves silently beneath our feet.
