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.
May 24th, Wood Quay
On Sunday 24th May, we’ll sketch around Wood Quay in Temple Bar. A Viking archaeological site, the quay overlooks the Liffey, and has interesting visual elements like the submerged viking boat sculpture, Smock Alley theatre, remnants of the ancient city wall, and the Wood Quay amphitheatre park. At 4pm, we’ll get together at the Porterhouse pub on Parliament Street to share our sketches and chat.
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. You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.

May 17th, Rathmines
On Sunday, 17th May, we will sketch from 2pm around Rathmines main street. The neighbourhood has plenty of interesting buildings, such as the Stella cinema and the Post Office building, both in Art Deco style; the lying clock tower, and the Belfast Banking Company building, now housing the Sprezzatura restaurant. At 4pm, we’ll meet at the Kodiak, to chat, drink, and admire each other’s work.
