January 4th, Dental Hospital

On Sunday 4th January, Dublin Sketchers will sketch around the Dental Hospital, Lincoln Place, Dublin, D02 F859.

It’s forecast to be around 4°C, but with the wind chill, it will feel colder! For those who prefer to sketch indoors, the National Gallery of Ireland is just around the corner and is currently hosting the J.M.W. Turner watercolour exhibition.

If it’s your first time, please come say hello—we are a friendly bunch! Just bring your own materials and look out for people with sketchbooks.

We sketch from about 2pm and then meet up around 4pm for a chat and a drink and to enjoy each other's sketches.

On Sunday 14th December Dublin Sketchers will sketch round the area of Jervis Shopping Center, 125 Abbey Street Upper, North City, Dublin, D01 W3X5

Weather will be inclement with rain predicted so wrap up well, the Lúas stops outside. The multi story central atrium offers views from the many balconies and various cafes offer sketching opportunities and comfort. For those who wish to sketch outside the facade is very interesting and surrounding buildings with very busy street scenes.

If it’s your first time keep your eyes open for other sketchers and say hello - we are a friendly bunch. You need to bring your own sketching materials.

We sketch from about 2pm and then meet up around 4pm after a 4 minute walk to Ormand Quay: Morrisons Hotel.
