A pleasant day was had by all - even those who went to the Dead Zoo by mistake! A few brave souls ventured outside to draw some of the fantastic architecture around the National Musem, while most lost themselves in the various and varied exhibitions. Here's a taste.

These three from Jennifer.

Sunday the 26th National Museum of Ireland Kildare Street

Hi all, it's been a while since we've visited the National Museum on Kildare Street so we will meet inside the museum entrance at 2pm this Sunday.

There is tonnes to draw here and lots of great architecture inside and out. We'll meet back at the entrance at 4pm and head to Fixx coffee house on Dawson Street just up from Sol Art gallery.

For anyone new we'll be the people with sketchbooks in hand. If you're late just get stuck in and meet us at 4.

Visit to the Nat.Print Museum, 19th Feb. 2012

We spent a very enjoyable few hours in the National Print Museum today. We were treated to a very interesting Letterpress printing demo. Also, Harry brought along his etched plate and printed it.

I am looking forward to the Cork Printmakers Exhibition starting Feb. 24th. for 3 weeks.
