  • I couldn’t be happier with the stunning fine art framed print I received from Canvasworks! The colors were rich and true to my original image, and the quality of the frame was absolutely flawless - elegant, sturdy, and beautifully finished.Exceptional craftsmanship and fantastic service - I’ll definitely be ordering again!

The Canvas Works Was Founded in 2007 by Patrick Ryan

I’m often asked how and why I set up The Canvas Works. After graduating with Honors from Trinity School of Law, I went into the advertising industry but by 2006 I’d had enough of the rat race and moved to the Ibizian countryside with my now wife, Lynne. We developed the business out there and moved back to Ireland in late 2007 where we settled in Kinsale, County Cork.

We're proud to be going stronger than ever in 2025.

Although we’re small, we invest heavily in our website to deliver an on-line experience that matches or surpasses the big international players. Supporting an Irish online canvas printing business should never mean settling for less. I believe our canvas prints and framed prints match or surpass our international competitors but we also offfer a level of personal service they simply cannot provide.

Christmas FAQ
  • Do you make unique Christmas gifts? What are the deadlines for Christmas?

    Yes. Christmas is one of our busiest times as everyone in Ireland searches for the perfect Christmas gift. Our advice is to order early for Christmas and avoid the rush. Talk to us about how we can help you print wonderful photo gifts this Christmas.

  • What is your Christmas deadline for ordering?

    Christmas deadlines vary every year. This year (2025) we will process all orders placed up to December 17th and make every effort to despatch by 22nd at the very latest. However, we can't accept liability for delays and can never guarantee delivery by a particular date - including when it's a gift for Christmas. Order early and if you have left it to the last week before Christmas, you must accept a risk your order may not arrive before Christmas.

  • What are your opening hours over Christmas

    Generally we are closed over Christmas and New Year and get back to work around 3rd or 4th of January depending on how the days fall. We work flat out, 7 days a week through November and December so we take some family time over the Christmas period. If you're ordering online in this period, your order will ship during the first week of January when we re-open. Our gallery is also closed at this time.

  • My order did not arrive for Christmas

    We despatch every order that is placed before our deadline for Christmas which is usually around 15th December. However, we have no control over when your print will arrive and cannot accept any liability for a late delivery. Please try to order early to account for the enormous volumes that go through the postal system at this time of the year. We will provide tracking details and recommen you contact An Post for updates on your delivery.

  • What are your print sizes for canvas prints and framed prints?

    All of our sizes for the travel posters relate to the image area rather than the total size. This means that for framed prints or print only on either satin lustre or fine art paper, the total paper size will be bigger to allow for the border or mat.

    Canvas prints are different because there is no border or mat surrounding the image so the sizes there equate to the full size of the canvas.

    Image Size, Paper Size and Wall Size
    A 15x20cm image size comes printed on a 20x25cm print and has a total wall size of 24x29cm. (In imperial sizes, this equates to a typical 8x10" frame)

    A 20x30cm imagee sizes comes printed as a 30x40cm print and has a total wall size of 34x44cm. (In imerial sizes, this equates to a 12x16" frame)

    A 30x45cm image comes printed as a 40x55cm print and has a total wall size of 44x59cm. (In imperial sizes, this equates to a 16x24" frame)

    A 40x60cm image size comes printed as a 50x70cm print and has a total wall size of 54x70cm. (In imerrial sizes, this equates to a 20x28" frame)

  • What are your opening hours?

    Our opening hours vary depending on the season. In the summer, our gallery in Kinsale is open 7 days a week, usually from 9.30am to 5.30pm. During the winter, we have reduced opening hours and close on weekends and midweek on Wednesday. If you are intending to make a visit to our gallery, we advise you to call ahead to make sure we are open.
