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.

Dublin Sketchers will sketch around Wellness World on Parliament Street from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The Oak.
As part of the Summer in Dublin programme, Wellness World will bring a variety of free activities and performances to Parliament Street. Expect plenty of people, movement and lively scenes to sketch, with lots of interesting architecture and city life in the surrounding area.
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 Oak. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
