Sunday 30th August - Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre


On Sunday 30th August, Dublin Sketchers will sketch inside St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in Sheehans Pub, 1 Chatham Street, Dublin 2.

St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre offers lots of interesting subjects to sketch, from its distinctive architecture and beautiful glass roof to the shops, people and activity inside. Being indoors means we can keep sketching whatever the weather!

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! You need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.

From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at Sheehans Pub. 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. 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 use #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers.
