Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.

Cooper's Corner: Bow Bridge, Saint James, Dublin, D08 RY68
A vibrant program called Summer at IMMA, with events for all ages, that includes exhibitions, performances, screenings, talks, workshops, tours and more, is currently taking place in the beautiful surroundings of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
This Sunday from 14h you can visit "Savoring Stories" (free, but booking required). It is a zine-making workshop on food, memory and identity. This creative form is closely connected with sketching and storytelling.
There will also be a free jazz gig in the museum's courtyard - The Newpark Academy of Music Big Band.
If the weather doesn't serve us, you can check out a free drop-in exhibition tour from 2.30–3pm.
Bring your sketchbook and pens, pencils etc! If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose something to sketch and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It's a friendly crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink from 4pm. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are!
From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at Cooper's Corner. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers@gmail.com or post it to the Dublin Sketchers Social WhatsApp group if you are on that platform. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website. If you are posting your sketch on Instagram please #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers
Hope to see you there!
Sun 29 June sketch at Bohemian flea Market
On Sunday, 29th June, we’ll sketch from 2 pm at and around the Le Zeitgeist/Bohemian flea market in Kelly's Yard, Phibsborough (D07 C434) . The market is open every fortnightly Sunday and has over 100 indoor and outdoor stalls. Thanks to Delphine and Richie (@lezeitgeistfleamarket) for having us. Should the security staff ask you your name or identity, tell them you are from the Dublin Sketchers and you should be good to go. If you wish to sketch indoors, please be mindful of the crowd and the traders at work. We’ll meet for drinks at 4 pm at The Bohemian (D07 P592).
If this is your first time out, bring your art supplies and just get going. You’ll probably meet some sketchers around, and will find us in the pub from 4 pm.
