Dublin Sketchers Group

1st of March, Heuston Station

On Sunday the 1^st of March Dublin Sketchers will sketch in Heuston Station, St John's Rd W, Saint James, Dublin 8 from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The Galway Hooker Bar, Heuston Station. Heuston Station itself is of architectural note and nearby you'll find a concentrated cluster of Ireland's most significant historical and artistic landmarks.

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 The Galway Hooker Bar. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.

February 15th, Grafton Street, Dublin 2

On Sunday afternoon, the 15th of February we will sketch in Grafton Street.

Grafton Street is one of the two principal shopping streets in Dublin city centre, the other being Henry Street. The street was named after Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Grafton, the illegitimate son of Charles II of England who owned land in the area. The north end of the Street is most notable for the eighteenth-century Trinity College Provost’s House, home to the head of the college. Bewley’s Oriental Café is also a Grafton Street institution since its opening in 1927.

We will sketch from 2pm and at 4pm we will meet in the bar in The Hoxton, on the corner of Exchequer St and Georges St. I will ask them to keep a space for us.

If it’s your first time, please say hello; we’re a friendly bunch. Just bring your materials and look out for people with sketchbooks.
