Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Liam Flynn comes from a family of joiners and woodworkers in Ireland and is almost entirely self-taught in his chosen craft of woodturning. He is now recognized as a leading exponent of this craft. He is known for his dynamic series of turned and carved vessels, largely made from Irish oak, working with the material when still green and manipulating pieces on the lathe so the line of the grain becomes part of the design as the work dries. Flynn exhibits internationally and was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition at the Hunt Museum, Limerick in 2011. Liam Flynn: ‘I relish the challenge of interpreting what the timber will do, how much movement will occur as the vessel dries out and what influence that will have on the line of the final piece.’
